Our top tips for dating safely

Want to know the basics? Let’s go.

Badoo is a space to be yourself, feel safe and have fun. We want that for everyone in our community.

So, here are our top tips to help you date safely and make real, honest connections.

Show respect

We welcome everyone, no matter who they are or where they’re from. We ask that you do the same. Always communicate kindly. Respect people, their boundaries and their privacy.

Be yourself

We want you to share the true, unfiltered you. So, be real. Be yourself. When you do, you can make more meaningful, honest connections.

Be honest

We’re all about dating honestly here. Always be honest about what you want and what you’re looking for. You’re more likely to get the same in return.

Get verified

This helps us keep Badoo safe and shows everyone you’re a real person.

Stay on Badoo

At least while you’re getting to know each other. That’s because we’ve got lots of safety tools to help you if you ever need them.

Report harmful behaviour

There’s no place for abuse, harassment or disrespect here. If someone crosses the line, tell us right away. Here’s how to block and report them.

Ask for consent

Consent is always necessary, on Badoo and in real life. Make sure you get consent before you do anything sexual or intimate.

Be careful what you share

Scams are real, so it’s wise to keep your personal and financial details private. The same goes for information about your children or photos of the places you visit often. And never send money to anyone, even if you feel like you can trust them.
