Online Dating Safety

When it comes to disability online dating, meeting new disabled singles and finding new dates can be very exiting experience and we have to bear in mind safety before everything else.

Keeping safe our members comes first and we will bring to your atention a few points that you should keep in mind when joining EnableDating and creating a dating profile.

• Consider creating a different email address to use for your online dating and any other social websites. That way you can separate your email address for personal use from the one for online dating and social websites.

• When choosing your user name, bear in mind that names revealing any of your personal details, for example your real names or location are not recommended. User names like ‘john-london’ or lucy.manchester’ are not a good choice.

• When it comes to creating your dating profile in the sections ‘About me’ you should not include your real name, address, place of work, email address, phone number, any of your social pages etc.

Safety in the process of online dating

Now that you are a member of our disabled dating website and have created your dating profile bearing in mind the safety tips from the above, we are going to take you through what you should be careful of and if any of this things happen to you you should get in touch with us immediately.

• Do not give any of your bank details, credit or debit card numbers to anyone, or if anyone asks you for them please report them to us immediately.

• When you meet people that you like, keep in touch with them through our system and do not use your personal email address or social accounts. Our website supports everything that you need to be in touch with other singles - personal emails, online chat, web cam chat and there is no need of you sharing your personal details.

• Never send money to anyone or if anyone asks please contact us .

• Stay in control – through our dating website you will meet and be in contact with many singles but the main thing is to be in control of what’s happening in your relationship with them. We are all different and have different approach with things but do not allow other members to make you do things that you are not comfortable with.

• Follow your phase – take every step slowly, the real relationships happen naturally and if at any point you feel that things are happening too quickly for you, just slow down.

First dates safety

After becoming a member of EnableDating and have been in touch with someone for a long time, the next step will be to go out on a date. Here we have a few things that you should keep in mind when organising your first date:

• Choose a public place that you and your date are familiar with. Place that you will be able to get to using public transport if you don't have your own transport.

• Tell a friend or a relative where and when the date is going to be, and when you will be back.

• Keep your mobile phone on and let your friend know that you are ok during the day.

• Don’t accept to be picked up or dropped home after the date, organise your own transport.

• Meet up during the day. It’s always better to get home in day light after the date.

Tips: Keep your dating correspondence within our system; we support everything that you will need to be in touch with other members and do not give any of your personal details to other members or at least before you get to know them better. We take care of the safety of our members and are checking our members’ profiles but safety should come both ways.

Now you are ready to start dating, bear in mind our safety tips and stay safe. And do not forget to let us know if anyone acts strange or is asking you to do things that do not feel right.

We are wishing you best of luck in your online dating experience and finding your perfect partner.
