Dating safety tips
Most people are here for the same reason you are. These simple habits keep dating fun — and keep the few bad actors out.
Video chat first
A quick video call before you meet helps you check they are who they say they are — and whether the vibe is right.
Meet in public
Pick a busy café or vegan restaurant for the first few dates. Never meet at their home or yours, and don’t accept a ride from them.
Tell a friend
Share who you’re meeting, where and when. Keep your phone charged and plan your own way home.
Never send money
Real matches never ask for money, crypto, gift cards, bank details or help with a “business opportunity” — no matter how sad or urgent the story is.
Protect your privacy
Keep your address, workplace, surname and financial details to yourself until you really trust someone. We only ever show your city.
Stay on itsvegan at first
Scammers often push to move to WhatsApp, Telegram or email quickly. Take your time — our private chat is free.
Trust your gut
You can leave a date, unmatch or block at any moment, without explaining yourself. Consent can be withdrawn any time.
Report suspicious behaviour
Fake photos, someone who seems under 18, harassment or money requests: tap ⋯ → Report on their profile. Reports are anonymous, and anyone reported as under 18 is paused right away.
If something goes wrong
If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services first. For anything on itsvegan — a profile, a message, a photo — report it and our moderators will look at it. You can also write to us through Feedback & support.
