             DATING ADVICE/SAFETY TIPS

 

• Safety is not an accident! As eSeniors Co-founder is a safety expert and former (safety specialist/adult protective investigator) and inform all seniors that " No one cannot control hazards if measures are not applied." Even though eSeniors is working tireless to protect its seniors membership, but there is no substitute for acting with caution when communicating with any stranger who wants to meet you. You (seniors) are in control of your online dating experience at all times. These are the following precautions all seniors should follow:

• 1. Remain anonymous until you feel ready

• 2. Guard your identity

• 3. Don't share your full name, personal phone numbers, email address, home address, place of work or any other identifying information while chatting or messaging on the site until you have established a reasonable level of trust with the other party. We urge you not to meet to quickly. If you chose to meet, you should meet in a public place. 

• 4. Remember, someone who is capable of committing identity theft can falsify an online dating profile

• 5. NEVER post personal information (Credit Card, Social Security, Bank Account, etc.) and contact information in your profile or Username when communicating online.

• ​

• ​

• Protect your online access information.

• Use caution when accessing your account  (email) from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. If you share your computer with others, consider disabling your auto-sign in feature if you have linked an auto log-in program or feature to your gmail  account.

• Remain anonymous until you feel comfortable.

• Take advantage of the onsite email feature that protects your identity until YOU choose to reveal it.

• If you don't want to talk to someone over the phone, just apologize and leave him/her

• Use a third-party, anonymous email address. As an added safety measure it's always best to use a third party email address for dating purposes.

• Have your eSeniors emails sent there instead of a personal address

• Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe or threatened, cease communication immediately and report any misbehavior immediately. Proceed with caution if someone pledges undying love after a few online conversations or first meeting in person. Contact customer service for any additional information

• Get to know the other person online or over the phone before meeting them offline.

• Use the tools available ( Messenger & Text) that protect your anonymity to get to know someone before meeting them in person

• Get as many details about the person as possible by using sources such as internet searches, governmental resources and databases or paying for a background check However, you shouldn't fully rely on the accuracy of background check results because they are not foolproof

• Avoid people who don't give you straight answers. End communication with someone who talks that seems uncomfortable when you ask them questions. IF YOU DON'T TRUST SOMEONE, DON'T DEAL WITH HIM OR HER..PERIOD????

• DON'T DATE SENIORS WHO BARE YOU FROM TELLING A FRIEND/FAMILY

• If someone speaks in hushed tones or "has to go" all of a sudden, it may indicate the person is not single, or has something else to hide. NOTHING TO HIDE!

• Be wary of someone who is vague, won't answer direct questions or can only meet at odd hours.

• Block abusive users. Block any member who does not treat you with respect. Report any unusual behavior to eSeniors immediately. Stop communicating immediately with anyone who pressures you for personal or financial information

• You can block anyone and report concerns or terms of use violations from our eSeniors website Contact US page.

           FIRST MEETING PRECAUTIONS

 

First meetings are exciting and normally are perfectly safe. SAFETY! SAFETY!

• Always meet in public. Meet for the first time in a populated, public location - never in a private or remote location

• Tell a friend. Inform a friend or family member of your plans and when and where you're going. IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU, DON'T TELL ANYBODY. STOP!

• If you own a mobile phone, make sure you have it with you

• Stay sober. DO NOT DRINK ALCHOHOL OR ANY MEDICINE THAT CAN CHANGE OR REDUCE YOUR JUDGMENT TO CAUSE YOU MAKE A DECISION THAT YOU COULD REGRET LATER

• Drive yourself to and from the first meeting. Just in case things don't work out, you need to be in control of your own ride - even if you take a taxi. Use your aide car!

• Don't leave personal items unattended

• You don't want to risk having personal information stolen. If you're drinking, keep your drink with you at all times so it can't be tampered with.

• Stay in a public place. It is best not to go back to your date's home or bring them back to yours on the first date. If your date pressures you, end the date and leave at once.

• Be cautious! Have fun seniors and be happy!

           

 LONG DISTANCE FIRST MEETING

 

        

• Use a taxi or rental car to get to and from the airport. Even if the person you're meeting volunteers to pick you up from the airport, do not get into a personal vehicle with someone you've never met.

• Keep your hotel location confidential

• You must go to a hotel. If you can't afford a hotel, don't go. DO NOT stay or go to the other person's home

• The person you are meeting should respect your privacy until you know each other. SAFETY IS FIRST! BE CAUTIOUS!

• Keep your valuables in the hotel safe. Do not take valuable items with you when meeting someone for the first time

• Remember to keep your family and friends informed or posted

• Tell someone who you are meeting, where you are going and when you will return.

 

                                         HAVE FUN SENIOR
