6 Tips for Safer Dating
Dating should feel exciting—not stressful. Along with our built-in safety features, these tips can help you protect yourself and date with confidence.
1. Ask questions
Asking questions helps you get to know someone—and spot red flags. Scammers often give vague or surface-level answers. Pay attention, and look for the verified selfie checkmark.
2. Take your time
Scammers often try to move conversations off the app quickly. If things are going well and you switch platforms, a phone or video call is a good step before meeting. If someone only wants to text, that can be a red flag.
3. Keep business out of dating
Shared goals are great, but dates should never give you investment, crypto, or financial advice. If someone tells you where to put your money, report them to Sugaryy.
4. Stay grounded
Be cautious of promises that sound too good to be true—especially around money. Never share information that could give someone access to your financial accounts, particularly if you haven’t met in person.
5. Protect your generosity
Scammers may ask for money for emergencies like visas, medical bills, travel, or repairs. Even if the story feels emotional or urgent, money requests are a strong sign to report the profile and move on.
6. Stay observant
Some scammers move fast, others take their time. Don’t bring finances into the conversation until trust is truly earned. As a rule, never send or receive money via wire transfers, gift cards, crypto, money orders, or investments—for any reason.
