Online Dating Safety Tips
Your safety is the highest priority at Kadhaley. We have built comprehensive safety infrastructure into our platform, and your personal safety habits are equally important.
Always Video Call Before Meeting
Use Kadhaley free built-in video calling to see and speak with any match before agreeing to meet in person. A live video call eliminates catfishing completely. If someone repeatedly refuses to video call, treat this as a serious red flag regardless of how charming their messages seem.
Keep Personal Information Private Initially
Do not share your full last name, home address, workplace, or financial details with someone you have only met online. Stay within Kadhaley messaging until you have established genuine trust through video calling and extended interaction.
Never Send Money
This rule has no exceptions. Romance scammers build emotional connection over weeks before making financial requests, typically framed as emergencies. Never send money to someone you have not met in person. Once money is sent, requests continue or the person disappears.
Meet in Public for First Meetings
Your first in-person meeting must always be in a busy, public location such as a cafe, restaurant, or park in daylight. Never at your home or their home. Tell a trusted friend where you are going and who you are meeting. Set up a check-in system.
Trust Your Instincts
If something feels wrong, act on those feelings. If their behavior does not match their profile or your instincts send alarm signals, leave, block, and report. You owe no one an explanation for prioritizing your safety.
Recognize Romance Scam Warning Signs
Photos that look too perfect. Immediate intense romantic interest also known as love bombing. Always avoiding video calls. Complicated life story involving international work or military deployment. Financial requests framed as emergencies. Pressure to move off the dating platform quickly.
