Safety

Most people on YADate are looking for the same thing as you. These simple rules help you avoid those who came for something else.

Red flags

Asks for money, gift cards, crypto or help with "tickets, treatment or customs fees".
Pushes you to another messenger right away and avoids questions about themselves.
Photos that look too perfect, inconsistent stories, declarations of love after a couple of days.
Offers "investments" or ways to "make money".

Protect yourself

Never send money or share card details, passwords or ID documents.
Take your time before moving to other apps — in the first messages YADate blocks links and contacts automatically.
Do not send intimate photos: they can be used for blackmail.

First date

Meet in a busy public place — a café, the promenade, a mall.
Tell a friend where you are going and with whom.
Arrange your own transport and keep an eye on your drink.
If something feels off, leave. That is perfectly fine.

YADate tools

Report a profile, photo or message — the "⋯" button on a profile or in a chat.
Block — the person can no longer message or see you.
Hide your profile or go incognito in the privacy settings.
Photo and text moderation, automatic hiding of profiles after several reports.

Emergencies

If you are in danger, call your local emergency number right away — for example 112 in Europe, 911 in the US and Canada, 999 in the UK, 000 in Australia. Report suspicious profiles to us: support@yadate.com.
