Have Fun.. Be Safe… Be Smart

What to DO and Not To DO when using an online dating program.

FaithMate.com offers a fun, safe environment that gives YOU control over your dating experience, but the following tips can help to ensure a fun, safe experience:

  • DO guard your financial information and beware of solicitation: You’re on FaithMate.com for dating not for financial advice or charitable contributions. Also, notify us immediately if another member asks for money, attempts to sell any merchandise or service, or sends you links to a pay-to-view site or instructions about how to call a 1-900 number.
  • DO protect your identity: Don't share your real name, personal phone numbers, or any other identifying information while Instant Messaging or emailing until you are comfortable doing so.
  • DO block abusers: FaithMate.com STRONGLY encourages you to block any member who behaves in an abusive manner and to report the behavior to FaithMate.com. You can block users and report concerns directly from your profile or theirs.
  • DO trust your gut: Immediately quit IMing when you feel unsure or threatened.
  • Do keep a record of your conversations. If you are uncomfortable with an IM exchange, remember to click the “Save to file” link on your IM window. FaithMate.com does not keep a record of your IMs.

See below for more great tips to ensure your safety on and off the information super highway.

Finding a loving, faithful long-term relationship is possible online. FaithMate.com offers a fun, safe environment that gives YOU control over your dating experience and allows you to progress at your own pace in order to establish a healthy relationship—whether it's just a casual friendship or a passionate, lasting romance.

Keeping in mind that to grow any relationship you have to give a little to get a little, we also want you to exercise caution. Don't be afraid to make connections. With a little caution and common sense you should be able to avoid meeting people that are untrustworthy.
