Be Safe Online
Forever2Gather.com is dedicated to creating a safe and secure environment for you to connect with potential life partners.
We have implemented stringent abuse-prevention and reporting systems to enhance your security within our platform.
While we strive to ensure your safety and privacy, it's important to recognize that we can only control certain aspects. Therefore, taking some simple precautions is crucial for maintaining your privacy and enjoying a safe online experience.
Here are valuable guidelines that YOU can follow to protect your privacy effectively:
Safeguard Your Anonymity
Our anonymous contacting system (sending invitations to connect, accepting/declining) is designed to protect your identity until you're ready to disclose it.
Do
Remember that you have control over your online experience. Adjust your privacy settings according to your preferences.
Don't
Avoid including personal contact details like name, email address, home address, phone numbers, workplace, or any identifying information in initial messages.
Refrain from sharing contact information until you feel confident in the trustworthiness of the person. Take your time to assess the situation.
Start Gradually - Use Emails Initially
Create a separate email account for communication. Begin by sharing only your email address and communicate primarily through email.
Do
Stay alert for unusual behaviour or inconsistencies. Genuine individuals respect your boundaries and give you the space you need.
Ask a friend to review the emails you receive. An impartial perspective can identify warning signs you might have missed.
Cease communication with anyone who pressures you for personal information or tries to deceive you.
Request a Photo
A photo can offer insight into a person's appearance and contribute to your intuitive judgment.
Do
Ask for a photo.
Ideally, request several images showcasing different settings: casual, formal, indoor, and outdoor. If you encounter constant excuses for not sharing a photo, be cautious, as they might have something to hide.
Use Phone Calls
A phone call provides insight into a person's communication and social skills. Prioritize your safety and avoid revealing your personal phone number to strangers.
Do
Use a prepaid mobile number. Share your phone number only when you're comfortable and have some background information on the other person.
When provided with a phone number with an unfamiliar area code, verify it's not a premium rate number before making the call.
Meet When YOU Are Ready
Online interactions allow you to gather information gradually and decide whether to transition to offline meetings. You're never obligated to meet anyone in person. Move at your own pace!
Do
Acknowledge that you have the final say in taking an online connection offline.
Even if you plan to meet, remember you can change your mind. Trust your intuition and follow your instincts.
Choose a Safe Meeting Place
When arranging an offline meeting, consider involving family members or friends. If meeting alone, inform someone you trust about your plans and return time.
Do
Opt for a public location (like a restaurant or cafe) when meeting face to face for the first time. Select a time when many people are around and ensure your transportation.
For initial meetings, it's advisable not to go alone. Bring a friend or relative, and ask your match to do the same.
If you do decide to meet alone, share the name, address, and phone number of the person you're meeting with a friend or family member. Carry a mobile phone with you.
Don't
Never let your potential match pick you up or drop you off at home. Avoid secluded areas or private locations for the first meeting.
Watch for Warning Signs
Stay vigilant for potential warning signs, such as inconsistencies or suspicious behaviour.
Do
Pose plenty of questions and remain alert for discrepancies. This helps identify dishonesty and compatibility.
Pay attention to displays of anger, excessive frustration, or attempts to manipulate or control you. Watch for resentment, disrespectful comments, or inappropriate behaviour.
Involve Your Family and Friends
Include your family or close friends in your search for a life partner and make decisions collectively.
Do
Seek support and counsel from your loved ones; avoid making unilateral decisions.
Beware of Money Scams
Be cautious of money scams; con artists and scam artists are prevalent worldwide.
Do
Exercise caution when anyone asks you for money. It's best to cut off communication. A genuine individual will never ask for money under any circumstance. If asked, use common sense and report the situation to us.
Trust Your Instincts
Your intuition is your best guide. Be responsible about your interactions and avoid prematurely close relationships, even if they're online.
Do
Make your judgments based on your instincts. Move forward only when you're confident in the other person's trustworthiness.
