101 Safety Tips for your next Meet!

Work with us to make Fusion the safest Christian singles site by using our SafeSite™ feature (login to see how this works).

Start Slow
Don’t fall in love at a click! Take it slow - communicate to start using only Fusion101 email. Fusion wants to encourage friendships so don’t become prematurely intimate with someone on or off-line. We suggest friends first, possibly a meetup and if romance blossoms, courting is the way we would encourage a potential relationship moves forward.

Things to Look out for
As in everyday life, look out for someone too good to be true - ie odd behavior or inconsistencies in what they say (check written profile/photo/age/location add up). Trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable, walk away explaning politley that you don't wish to take things further.

NOTE: IF ANYONE ASKS FOR MONEY FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF TRUST HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, POLITELY DISCONTINUE COMMUNICATIONS. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO ASK AND WE WILL DELETE ANYONE THAT DOES. THIS IS NOW A COMMON TYPE OF FRAUD ACROSS ALL INTERNET FRIENDSHIP SITES AND WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP IT:)

Guard Your Anonymity
Fusion101.com members personal information is concealed, keeping your true identity is hidden until you decide to reveal it. Don't include your last name, email, address, phone number, workplace or any identifying information in your profile or first messages. Turn off your email signature file. It is not someone's right to know your personal details so if anyone pressures you into giving it out or tries to get you to reveal it - stop communications.

Common Sense
Thoughtful decisions give the best results. People must earn your trust gradually, through consistent and open behavior. Take all the time you need. Test for trustworthyness paying attention as you go. If you're instinct says someone is not being honest, they probably arn't - politely walk away.

Dig a Little!
Out of respect for the privacy of Fusion.com members, we don't ask for submition of a background check (consistent with other large reputable services such as Match.com's secular singles site). We do however encourage members to research potential matches themselves if they feel necessary. Ask questions and get as much information as you can - possibly using web search engines. Remember nothing is 100% reliable but use common sense and instinct. If you want to conduct a background check yourself, use a search engine to find one of many companies that offer them. Finally remember a persons friends and family can tell you a lot about them - ask about them and if possible as the friendship is being established, meet them.

Request Photos
There are several reasons you will want to request photos and several reasons why you should submit them. First, photos give an idea of appearance. Second, different photos in different settings are pretty good verification (scammers are known to sometimes take a photo from another site to create a fake profile). Third, if you get excuses about viewing someones photos, consider they have something to hide. The reason why you should submit a photo is simply because on s site as large as Fusion, people don't have time to look at profiles without them. We consider it fair play to request and submit several photos.

Chat on the Phone
Allowing for first time nerves, talking on the phone will indicate more of someone's personality, social and communication skills. Don't reveal personal phone numbers to strangers. Use a cell phone number, a local telephone or blocking techniques so your call ID number doesn't appear on the recipients phone. Ladies especially, only give out your number when you're completely comfortable. Guys.. if anyone gives out their number first, it should be you:)

Meet only When YOU are ready
The best thing about meeting new friends online is that you can go at your pace, forming a picture of someone over a period of time and then deciding if you want to pursue the friendship in your own time. There are no obligations to meet anyone and you have the right to change your mind even after a meeting has been arranged. Keep your anonymity as long as your instincts tell you.

Things to watch for
In regard to personality - look out for: undue pressure, controlling behaviour, intense anger or frustration, passive-aggressive behaviour, suggestive or disrespectful comments, inappropriate phisical behavior.

In regard to identity - look out for the following inconsistencies: information on age, appearance, marital status, interests, profession, refusal to speak on phone even after some level of trust is established, failure to answer questions directly and openly, significant difference on and off-line, won't introduce you to friends, family or colleagues.
Still have doubts?.. most people are straight up and honest but if you're still unsure, even a degree of trust has built up, you're perfectly within your rights to request a passport / drivers license scan before meeting someone face to face. An honest person will oblige if you are genuinely concerned:)

Meet in a Safe Place
Once you decide to meet, tell a friend where you're going and when you'll be back. Give your date's name and number with that person. Never arrange for your date to pick you up from where you live. Get there yourself and meet in a public place when many people around. A coffee shop is a good choice. Make sure you leave before it gets late (ie when there is no-one around) on your own. Leave on your own. Drink little or prefferably nothing as your decisions will be impared. If you plan to go to more than one location - do not get into your dates car - use the tube or take your own. Don't go to someone's house (however comfortable they make you feel - they shouldn't ask this anyhow!)

Meeting in an unknown place or country?
Are you travelling from another city or country?.. book your own hotel and transport. Don't reveal the location of your hotel or allow your date to make arrangements for you. Drive directly to your hotel. Meet your date at a location you have already agreed to. Get there early and if the location is inappropriate or unsafe, return to your hotel. Contact your date from that location or leave a message. make sure a friend knows exactly where you are and can contact you. Carry a phone.

Getting out of a jam
Do not bow to any pressure to do something that you're unsure about. If you are scared by your date, make a polite excuse diffuse and leave. You may want to excuse yourself to call a friend, ask for help to slip out the back door. If you feel the situation is potentially dangerous, call the police. They won't mind if you are genuinely concerned. Your safety is paramount.

While liars, cheaters and imposters certainly ply their craft on the Web, you’ll also find them in nightclubs and offline dating services, cocktail parties or even sitting across from you at your local café. Regardless of where you meet someone, dating is never a risk-free activity, but a little caution will reduce your risk in matters of the heart.

Please look after yourself.
We urge all users to excercise a level of sensibility when meeting new people. Make the rule to only meet in a public place and remember: people who's intentions are not legitimate will eventually slip up in what they say so... take your time in getting to know someone and never be pushed - it's your call:) In the meantime we are working hard to give you features that will help you manage any unwanted mail. Be safe and thanks for your patience - all at Fusion101.

Your Health
In line with the Bible, Fusion does not encourage sexual intimacy between unmarried couples. However, if somehow you find yourself in the position of no return, protect yourself. Ideally leave before it gets to that stage!!! The best thing to do is not get into the sistuation in the first place. Meet in public places, seek advice from your church elders and be accountable to someone you trust - think friendship!:)
