Looking after each other
Dating safely on Brolly
Most people here are exactly who they say they are. These habits keep it that way.
Keep the first chat on Brolly
There is no rush to swap numbers. Messages here stay between the two of you and can be reported if something feels off.
Meet somewhere public
A busy pub, a coffee shop, a walk in Cassiobury Park or along Southend seafront. Daylight and other people around make a first meeting easier for everyone.
Tell a friend the plan
Share who you are meeting, where and when, and arrange to text them when you are home.
Sort your own travel
Arrive and leave under your own steam so you are never waiting on someone else for a lift home.
Never send money
Nobody you have met on a dating site needs a transfer, a gift card or your bank details. Report anyone who asks.
Trust your gut
If a conversation feels rehearsed, rushed or pushy, you owe no explanation. Unmatch, report, move on.
Something not right?
Every profile has a Report link that goes straight to the team, who can hide a profile from the site while it is looked at. If you are in danger or a crime has been committed, call 999, or 101 for non-emergencies.
