Online Dating Safety Tips:

Although Kizmeet does its best to monitor and block postings from people who don’t use the site in the spirit intended, please note that we do not perform background checks on our users.  So trust your instincts, use sound judgment and don’t take unnecessary risks.  Here are a few other helpful tips: 

·        When you create a new posting, no one can see your name or email address, allowing you to remain anonymous.  But when someone replies to your posting, then any email you send back to him or her will come from your own email address.  So if you want to remain anonymous even after your initial posting, don’t use an account that reveals your name (e.g., set up a separate email account for Kizmeet / online dating). 

·       When you reply to a posting, Kizmeet asks for your email address so the person who created the posting can get back in touch with you.  If you want to remain anonymous, don’t use an email account that reveals your name (e.g., set up a separate email account for Kizmeet / online dating).  In fact, don’t feel pressured to give your name or any personal information to the other person until you feel completely comfortable.

Also, when you reply, it's a good idea to ask the person who posted for more details about the place or situation in which you may have met.  If the other person doesn't describe the situation correctly, this may be a red flag that this was not your missed connection.

·       Go at your own pace.  You don’t need to do anything more than exchange emails until you feel completely comfortable with the other person.  Talking on the phone before meeting in person is one way to uncover red flags, but we recommend not using a phone that reveals your name in the caller ID.

·      If you decide to meet with your Kizmeet connection in person, choose a public place and arrange for your own transportation to and from the location.  It’s also a good idea to tell a friend where you’re going, and to check back with them when you return home.

·       Ask questions: When you’re getting to know someone (either online or offline), we encourage you to ask lots of questions.  Keep an eye out for any inconsistencies in answers or if the other person doesn’t provide direct answers to direct questions.

·       Avoid scams and trust your instincts.  Kizmeet.com is not intended for soliciting business or asking for money. 

·        Notify Kizmeet immediately if you come across another site user doing anything suspect or creating an uncomfortable online environment.
