Safety Tips

Dating Safety Tips for iBeor Users

Meeting new people can be exciting, but prioritizing your safety is essential for enjoyable interactions. Whether you’re chatting online or planning to meet in person, exercising sound judgment and remaining vigilant will enhance your experience on iBeor. While you can’t control others’ actions, you can take proactive steps to protect yourself.

Online Safety

Never Send Money or Share Financial Information

Avoid sending money or sharing financial details at all costs, especially through wire transfers. Once the money is sent, recovery is often impossible. Be wary of any requests for financial assistance, and report suspicious activity immediately. For additional insights on avoiding romance scams, check the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's website.

Protect Your Personal Information

Keep sensitive personal information—such as your Social Security number, home address, and daily routines—private. If you have children, be cautious about sharing their details like names, schools, or ages.

Stay Within the iBeor Platform

Keep your conversations on the iBeor platform while getting to know someone. Our Safe Message Filters are designed to protect you, as those with questionable motives may attempt to shift the conversation to text or other messaging apps prematurely.

Be Cautious with Long-Distance Relationships

Be vigilant of individuals claiming to be from your area but currently overseas, especially if they request financial help to return. If someone avoids in-person meetings or pushes for a serious relationship too quickly, these may be red flags.

Report Suspicious Behavior

If someone crosses boundaries or violates iBeor’s terms, we want to hear about it. Block and report anyone engaging in:

  • Requests for money or donations

  • Harassment or offensive messages

  • Inappropriate behavior during or after meetings

  • Fraudulent profiles or spam

You can report concerns directly from any profile or messaging window. For detailed guidance, review our Community Guidelines.

Protect Your Account

Choose a strong password and avoid logging in from public or shared devices. Remember, iBeor will never ask for your username or password via email—report any suspicious requests immediately.

Meeting in Person

Take Your Time

Don’t rush into an in-person meeting. Get to know the person first, ask questions, and consider a phone or video call as a preliminary screening tool.

Choose Public Places

For your initial meetings, select a busy, public location. Avoid private settings and feel free to end the date if you feel pressured to move somewhere private.

Inform Friends and Family

Share your meeting plans—time and location—with a trusted friend or family member. Ensure your phone is charged and with you at all times.

Control Your Transportation

Arrange your own transportation to and from the meeting, giving you the freedom to leave when you choose. Consider having a backup plan, such as a ride-share app or a trusted friend.

Know Your Limits

Be aware of how alcohol or drugs may affect you. Stick to your comfort level, and if pressured to consume more than you’re comfortable with, firmly decline.

Keep Your Belongings Close

Always keep your drink in sight and accept only those prepared or served directly by a bartender. Secure your phone and personal items throughout the date.

Trust Your Instincts

If you feel uncomfortable at any point, don’t hesitate to end the date early. Seek help from staff if you’re in a situation where you feel unsafe.

Adjust Your Profile Visibility

If you’ve included sexual orientation in your iBeor profile and are in a region with restrictive laws, we will temporarily hide this information for your protection.

Exercise Extra Caution

In some countries, dating apps may be monitored. Consult ILGA World for the latest information on laws affecting LGBTQ+ individuals.

Sexual Health & Consent

Protect Your Health

Using condoms correctly can reduce the risk of STIs, including HIV. Remember, some STIs can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, so vaccinations can also help lower risks.

Know Your Status

Regular STI testing is vital, as many STIs may not show symptoms. Stay informed about your health and help prevent the spread of infections.

Communicate Openly

Discuss sexual health and STI testing with your partner before becoming intimate. In some areas, it’s a legal requirement to disclose STI status.

Understand Consent

Consent is crucial for all sexual activities and should be ongoing. Ensure both partners are comfortable at all times, and remember that consent can be withdrawn at any moment.

Resources for Support

If you experience a negative incident, remember it’s not your fault, and support is available. Report any issues on iBeor and reach out to the following resources if needed:
