Making A Safe Profile
Safeguard Your Information - Keep your personal details confidential, including your home address, workplace, and favorite local spots. Maintain the privacy of your financial information and avoid sharing it with anyone.

Unique Profile Pictures - Opt for distinct photos on your dating profile that are different from those on your social media accounts. Conduct a reverse image search using platforms like Google to ensure there are no matches between your dating profile and other online platforms. Avoid using photos that give away frequented locations with your friends. Remember, not all first meetings may go well, and preserving your privacy is crucial for moving forward.

Ensuring Verification - Utilize ID verification as the simplest and most effective means of confirming the identity of the person you're conversing with. Verify your own account and don't hesitate to request that your potential date goes through the verification process as well. This verification process does not involve sharing personal information but grants you the added confidence to arrange an in-person meeting. Still unsure? A brief phone call or video chat serves as an additional and easy method to authenticate your date's identity prior to meeting face-to-face. Ensuring both you and your potential match are verified is an excellent way to eliminate any potential uncertainties.
Ready for Secure Dating?
Ensuring Your Safety is Our Utmost Priority. It Should be Yours Too. As we continue to advance and improve our safety measures, we also aim to assist you in feeling more secure and self-assured when organizing an in-person rendezvous. Here are a few essential guidelines to follow in preparation for your initial face-to-face encounter:

Thorough Personal Investigation - Engaging in some preliminary background research on your potential date is not intrusive but rather a prudent step. Checking their social media accounts to verify their identity is an effective way to eliminate any uncertainties.

Always Choose Public Meeting Places - When planning your first in-person date, always opt for public venues. If you feel any pressure to meet in a private location, emphasize the significance of meeting in public for the initial couple of dates. If they persistently insist on private settings, reassess the decision to meet in person and consider terminating the conversation altogether.

Inform a Trusted Individual About Your Plans - Informing a close friend or family member about the specifics of your date is crucial. Share details such as the meeting location, time, and contact information of the establishment. There is no such thing as too much information when it comes to your safety. Activate and utilize the location feature on your phone to easily share your whereabouts with a friend.

Keep Personal Details Confidential - During the early stages of getting to know someone, it's important to keep certain personal details private. This includes your last name, address, social media handles, and frequented hangout spots. Only share such information once you have both established a solid foundation of trust.

Remain Vigilant About Your Food and Drinks - Never leave your food or beverages unattended. If you need to step away from the table, cover your plate with a napkin. Don't hesitate to request a fresh drink if you suspect any suspicious behavior from anyone at your table.

Ensure Your Cell Phone is Fully Charged and Location Services Are Enabled - Before, during, and after your date, it is vital to have sufficient battery life on your cell phone for emergency purposes. Make sure your location settings are turned on so that a trusted friend or family member can track your whereabouts. If you frequently find yourself on the go before a date, consider investing in a rechargeable cell phone case to ensure you're always prepared.

Report any Suspicious or Offensive Behavior - If you ever feel uncomfortable or disrespected while interacting with someone on a dating platform or during an in-person meeting, promptly report them through the appropriate channels provided by the respective app or website. At Adore, members can utilize the 'Report a Member' feature on the user's profile. Select the appropriate reason from the provided list and provide a clear description of the violation. Additionally, you have the option to block the member, preventing further communication and access to your profile. 

Our Customer Support team is available 24/7 and can be contacted here to address any inquiries or concerns you may have.
Authentic Connections and Mutual Respect in Dating
Embrace Life's Opportunities - The fleeting nature of existence reminds us not to compromise. Hence, our mission is to empower our users in discovering connections that resonate with their individual aspirations and desires. Transparency and sincere dialogue remain the pillars of our foundation.
Ensuring Secure and Enjoyable Connections
Bear in mind, your companion is likely experiencing the same level of apprehension as you when it comes to their initial in-person meeting. Prior to your rendezvous, it is essential to openly discuss any health or safety worries. While the pandemic may be loosening restrictions in certain regions, there are individuals who may prefer outdoor settings or continue practicing masked dates for the time being.

Furthermore, consider incorporating alternative social activities that do not revolve around alcohol consumption, such as a visit to a local park, museum, or roller skating rink. This allows both you and your date to feel at ease without feeling obligated to drink.

In instances where alcohol is involved, it is crucial to remain vigilant regarding your beverage. If you need to step away for an extended period, it is advisable to request a fresh drink upon your return.
Amidst the Initial Encounter
Approach each encounter as an opportunity to foster deeper connections rather than entering with predetermined expectations of progress. Embrace kindness, adopt a positive mindset, and prioritize enjoying yourself. This approach will contribute to your own comfort and help create a relaxed atmosphere for both you and your companion.

Remember, you hold the power to dictate the pace and direction of the experience. If you ever feel uneasy, prioritize your own well-being and don't hesitate to politely conclude the meeting. It's essential to understand that neither party owes anything to the other, irrespective of who covers the expenses.

In case you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, don't hesitate to seek assistance from the establishment staff, such as waiters, bartenders, or other employees. If the situation escalates, consider asking for help in arranging a safe way to return home and inform both the management of the venue and, if necessary, law enforcement authorities.
