Dating Safety
Cyberbullying
Online dating should feel exciting — not hostile. Harassment, threats, or repeated insults are not normal, and they are not something you have to tolerate.
What cyberbullying can look like
- Repeated insults or humiliation.
- Body shaming or appearance-based attacks.
- Racist, sexist, or discriminatory comments.
- Threats of violence or intimidation.
- Doxxing (threatening to share private information).
- Sharing private messages or images without consent.
Early warning signs
- They "joke" in ways that feel degrading.
- They test your boundaries to see what you’ll tolerate.
- They become aggressive when challenged.
- They try to make you feel small or insecure.
What to do if it happens
- Do not engage or escalate the situation.
- Screenshot messages or evidence.
- Block the user immediately.
- Report the account through the app.
- If threats involve harm, contact local authorities.
Protect your peace
You do not owe anyone access to you. Blocking is not weakness — it is self-respect. Your emotional safety matters just as much as your physical safety.
