Chat in the app first
Get to know your match through Chivalry before sharing personal contact info or social handles.
Meet in public
For first dates, always meet in a busy public place — coffee shops, restaurants, parks. Never a private residence.
Tell someone your plans
Let a friend or family member know who you're meeting, where, and when. Share your location during the date if possible.
Trust your instincts
If something feels off — at any point, before or during the date — leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
Verify before you meet
Look for the verified badge. Consider a quick video call before meeting in person to confirm they look like their photos.
Report concerning behavior
If anyone makes you uncomfortable, harasses you, or behaves badly during a date, report them. We take every report seriously.
Need help?
If you're in immediate danger, call 911. To report concerning behavior or get support from our team, email safety [at] chivalry.date.
