Meeting Safely

  • Always meet in a public, well-lit place for your first few dates.
  • Tell a friend or family member where you are going, who you are meeting, and when you expect to return.
  • Arrange your own transportation to and from the meeting point. Do not rely on your date for a ride.
  • Stay sober and alert. Avoid excessive alcohol or substances on first meetings.
  • Trust your instincts. If something feels off, leave immediately.
  • Video call before meeting in person to verify the person matches their profile.
  • Keep your phone charged and accessible at all times.

Online Safety

  • Never share your home address, workplace address, or daily routine with someone you have not met.
  • Use Lushme messaging instead of giving out your personal phone number early on.
  • Be cautious with financial information. Never send money to someone you have met online.
  • Use a strong, unique password for your Lushme account and enable two-factor authentication.
  • Be wary of anyone who pressures you to move the conversation off the app quickly.
  • Do not click suspicious links sent in messages.

Reporting Users

  • Tap the three-dot menu on any profile or conversation to report a user.
  • Select the reason for your report from the available categories.
  • Reports are reviewed by our Trust & Safety team within 24 hours.
  • You can report harassment, fake profiles, scams, inappropriate content, underage users, and threatening behavior.
  • All reports are confidential. The reported user will not know who filed the report.
  • Providing detailed information helps us take faster action.

Blocking

  • You can block any user at any time from their profile or your conversation.
  • Blocked users cannot see your profile, send you messages, or interact with you in any way.
  • Blocking is immediate and permanent unless you choose to unblock.
  • You can manage your blocked users list in Settings > Privacy & Safety.
  • If you feel unsafe, block first and report second.

Emergency Resources

  • If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number right away.
  • In Turkey, dial 112 for emergency services (police, ambulance, fire).
  • In the US, dial 911. In the EU, dial 112. In the UK, dial 999.
  • National Domestic Violence Hotline (US): 1-800-799-7233
  • Turkey Women's Emergency Hotline: 183
  • Save emergency numbers in your phone before going on a date.
  • If you cannot speak, many emergency services accept text messages.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Refusing to video call or meet in person after extended conversation.
  • Requesting money, gifts, or financial information for any reason.
  • Pressuring you to share intimate photos or personal details quickly.
  • Becoming angry or aggressive when you set boundaries.
  • Inconsistent stories about their life, job, or background.
  • Love-bombing: excessive flattery and declarations of love very early on.
  • Isolating you from friends or discouraging you from telling others about the relationship.
  • Insisting on controlling where you meet, what you do, or who you talk to.

Photo Safety

  • Avoid sharing photos that reveal your home, workplace, or frequented locations.
  • Be mindful of identifiable landmarks, street signs, or license plates in your photos.
  • Do not share intimate or explicit photos with people you have not met in person.
  • Remember that screenshots can be taken of any image you send.
  • Use Lushme's built-in photo sharing rather than external links when possible.
  • Report any user who pressures you for inappropriate photos.
