The Casual Encounters Safety Center

Casual dating works best when everyone feels safe, respected, and in control. Our guides and tools help you meet people with confidence.

New to casual dating? Read these guides in order.

A first-meet checklist: what to do before, during, and after you meet someone, plus sexual health basics.

The warning signs to look for and exactly what to do if you think you're being targeted.

How to ask, how to say no, and what respectful behavior looks like.

How to report or block a member, and how our AI and human moderators keep the community safe.

Safety is built into Casual Encounters, not added on afterward.

Everyone must be 18 or over. We use AI age estimation, with additional checks where required.

Members can verify with a government ID and earn a visible blue tick, or complete a live video check with a moderator, with no documents needed.

Images, videos, and text are screened on upload using AI and human review. Human moderators work 24/7.

Your real name and email are never shown publicly, and your profile shows only your nearest town or city, never your exact location.

Potentially sensitive images are blurred with a warning before you view them.

We warn you when someone tries to move the conversation to an outside app such as WhatsApp, a common scam tactic.

Every member has a reputation score, and you can upvote or downvote an interaction with one click.

Block anyone immediately. Blocked members can no longer contact or see you.

A real support team is available by chat, phone, and messaging.

In an emergency, call 911. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. You can report to us afterward.
