Safety Advice
Always go on dates with your dating mate.
Meet in a public place that you know well.
Never arrange for your date(s) to pick you up from your home.
Always have a friend or family member to call on if you need help.
Remember, when you meet people for the first time they are still strangers.
Don’t accept a lift home if you feel uncomfortable about it.
Always use your common sense, keep in control and don’t be forced into doing something you wouldn’t normally do.
Online dating should be fun but too often it’s not. It can be awkward and filled with embarrassing "what do I say now" moments. We created this community because we know there is a better way to date. We called it dateswithmates. This is how it works:
You and a mate sign up and go on dates with other pairs of friends
You’re guaranteed a good time because you're dating with a mate
It’s easy meeting new people when you’re in a group. It’s a better way to 'click'
And there’s safety in numbers for your date as well
You might meet someone really special but one thing’s certain – dateswithmates will always be double the fun!
Dating Tips
Never put a date before a mate.
Be yourself.
Personal hygiene matters!
Asking “How do you like your eggs in the morning” isn’t funny.
Boys: Chests don’t talk back.
Dates are a chance to try out interesting new things. Check your local city’s Timeout.
If you both fancy the same member of a dating team, don’t neglect the other mate. It won’t help your chances.
Finally Trust your instincts – they are usually right. If you feel uncomfortable about someone, stop. Discontinue contact – there are plenty more dating teams. Use the dateswithmates feature to block unwanted messages from other teams. If you feel that someone is abusing the service, always tell us.
