Dating Safety Guidelines
Meaningful connection begins with good judgment.
Affinity Matchmaking thoughtfully considers potential connections, but getting to know another person always involves personal choice and responsibility. Whether you meet someone through Affinity or anywhere else, take your time, trust your instincts, and make decisions that support your safety and well-being.
1. Take Your Time
An introduction is simply an opportunity to meet someone.
You are never obligated to communicate with, meet, continue dating, become exclusive with, or pursue a relationship with someone because Affinity introduced you.
Allow trust to develop over time. Pay attention to whether someone’s actions consistently align with what they tell you.
2. Meet in Public
For early dates, choose a public location where other people are present.
Maintain control of your own transportation whenever possible, and consider letting a trusted friend or family member know where you are going and when you expect to return.
3. Protect Personal Information
Use discretion when sharing sensitive information such as your home address, workplace details, financial information, passwords, identification documents, or other private information.
Getting to know someone does not require giving them immediate access to every part of your life.
4. Never Send Money
Do not send money, make investments, provide loans, purchase gift cards, transfer cryptocurrency, share banking information, or assume financial obligations for someone simply because you met them through Affinity.
Be particularly cautious if someone creates urgency, describes an unexpected financial crisis, or pressures you to provide financial assistance.
If something feels unusual, contact Authorities and Affinity.
5. Trust Behavior, Not Just Chemistry
Attraction can happen quickly. Trust should be earned.
Pay attention to consistency, honesty, boundaries, communication, and how someone responds when you say no or express a need.
Strong chemistry does not eliminate the need for good judgment.
6. Alcohol and Personal Safety
Be mindful of alcohol or other substances that could affect judgment, awareness, or your ability to make decisions.
Keep control of your own drink and belongings, and never feel obligated to remain in a situation where you are uncomfortable.
7. Intimacy Is Your Decision
You determine the pace of physical and emotional intimacy.
An Affinity introduction never creates an expectation of physical affection, sexual activity, exclusivity, or continued dating.
Consent should always be voluntary, mutual, informed, and ongoing.
8. Vetting Has Limits
Affinity may use conversations, publicly available information, identity information, background screening, references, or other methods when evaluating potential matches.
However, no screening process can guarantee another person’s character, accuracy of information, intentions, or future behavior.
Not every person in the Affinity Singles Database necessarily undergoes the same level of screening.
Continue to use your own judgment even when someone has been introduced through Affinity.
9. Tell Us About Serious Concerns
If someone introduced through Affinity behaves in a way that raises concerns involving dishonesty, harassment, threats, financial solicitation, safety, or serious misrepresentation, please contact us.
Affinity may review the situation and determine whether continued participation in the Affinity network is appropriate.
If you believe you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services rather than waiting for a response from Affinity.
10. Your Instincts Matter
You never owe someone another date simply because they seem good “on paper.”
If something does not feel right, you are allowed to step away.
Affinity’s goal is not simply to create introductions. It is to create opportunities for healthy, meaningful connection between people who genuinely want to be there.
