Stay safe out there

Meeting new people should be exciting, not stressful. Here's how to date smart.

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.
