Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to share my first name?

A general first name may be lower risk, but the decision remains yours.

Can I share social media?

Only after reviewing what the profile exposes.

What if someone pressures me?

Leave the conversation and use block or report controls when appropriate.

Can I trust someone after one good conversation?

Trust develops over time. A positive first chat is not proof.
