How to Stay Safe While Making Real Connections

🚨Online Dating Is Exciting—But Stay Alert

Dating apps have made it easier than ever to meet new people.
But while you're building genuine connections, it's just as important to protect yourself.
Whether you're new to Havit or a seasoned swiper, knowing what to look out for can save you from emotional or financial harm.

Let’s talk about online dating safety—the red flags to watch for, and how to date smart.

🧠 Why Online Safety Matters

A 2023 Pew Research study found that 1 in 3 online daters have encountered suspicious behavior—ranging from inconsistent stories to financial scams.
While most people are on dating apps for the right reasons, a small percentage exploit the anonymity of digital platforms.

Havit is designed to help you build real, safe connections, and that includes helping you recognize when something’s off.

🚩 Common Red Flags to Watch Out For

1. They Avoid Sharing Basic Info

If someone dodges questions like where they live or what they do—consistently—it could be a sign they’re hiding something.

2. They Move Too Fast Emotionally

If they say "I love you" after two chats, or start intense flattery too early, it could be manipulation—not sincerity.

3. They Refuse Video Calls or Meeting in Public

People who delay or avoid face-to-face interactions entirely may not be who they say they are.

4. They Ask for Money or Help

Even if it starts small, any financial request is a huge red flag.
Common scam lines:

“My card isn’t working—can you send me $20?”
“I need help getting home.”

5. Their Story Keeps Changing

Inconsistent details over time are a strong signal that they’re not being truthful.
