Additional Safety Tips for Mature Singles

1

Take Your Time

There's no rush. Take weeks or even months to get to know someone before meeting. Legitimate people will understand and respect your caution.

2

Verify Their Identity

Ask for a video call or request they take a photo holding up a sign with your name. Real people won't hesitate to prove their identity.

3

Research Before Meeting

Do a quick Google search of their name and photos. Look them up on social media to verify their story and background.

4

Tell Family and Friends

Share details about your dates with trusted family members or friends. Consider sharing your location during dates using your phone's features.

5

Trust Your Experience

You've lived long enough to develop good instincts. If something feels off, it probably is. Don't ignore red flags for the sake of being polite.

6

Protect Your Independence

Maintain your own transportation, money, and decision-making. Don't let anyone pressure you into depending on them too quickly.

7

Be Cautious with Photos

Don't send intimate or revealing photos to anyone online. Scammers often use these for blackmail or to catfish other victims.

8
