Dating safety guide for India
Short, practical rules. Read them once — they change how safely you date forever.
Protect your money and identity
Never send money or OTPs
No genuine date will ask you for money, an OTP, an advance or a “processing fee”. That is always a scam — report and block.
Video call before you meet
A ten-minute video call confirms you are talking to the same person in the photos. Ask for it before any real-world meeting.

Stay safe while chatting
Meet in public, at your pace
First meetings happen in busy cafés or malls, in daylight. Tell one friend where you are going and check in after.
Block and report anything odd
Pressure, rudeness, money talk or profile photos that do not match — one tap blocks them and our team is notified.
The fine-print habits that protect you
- Reverse image search. Drop their photo into Google Images — scammers reuse stock photos across profiles.
- Never share your OTP for any bank app, UPI, or “verification”. It is always a scam.
- Keep money out of dating. No loans, no gift cards, no “traveling to meet you” emergency funds.
- Location on your own terms. Meet where cameras and people exist — not at someone’s home.
- Transport planning. Arrange your own transport there and back so you are never dependent on a stranger.
- Alcohol and clarity. Stay clear-headed for the first few meetings; decisions should be fully yours.
- Check in with a friend. Share your live location once, share your plan, and text them after it is over.
- Block, report, move on. One odd message is enough. You owe nobody an explanation.
