Don't be like a roller coaster, just met and rushed to date

The thrill of riding a roller coaster, like meeting, liking, and connecting with new people online, can be a memorable experience. However, Tinder advises that safety should always come first when taking any trip.

A recent survey by Tinder found that safety and security are top concerns when planning a first date with someone you meet through the app. The data comes from a survey by OnePoll, on behalf of Tinder, among 1,000 single Vietnamese 18-25 year olds who use dating apps conducted in July.

At the same time, 51% of respondents said they would choose to meet in a public place to ensure safety when going on a first in-person date.

From the desire to help young people have a safe experience when dating online, Tinder has developed more than 20 security and safety features. Some familiar features include blocking contacts or verifying photos with selfie videos, features supported by artificial intelligence...

Right from the first piece of advice, Tinder recommends that young people be wary if the other person rushes to ask for their phone number or information about other chat platforms.

Slow down a bit!

Ms. Papri Dev, vice president of communications for the Asia-Pacific region of Tinder, shared that the launch of the safe dating guide is entirely aimed at helping young Vietnamese people equip themselves with the necessary skills on their journey to connect with safe and fulfilling dating experiences.

From there, the dating platform Tinder assumes that everyone loves romance, but if someone shows affection too quickly after just a few days of knowing each other, this could be a warning sign.

79% of young Vietnamese want to connect while traveling

According to Tinder's Year in Swipe statistics, travel is the top hobby that Vietnamese Gen Z members include in their bio to express their personal identity and expand their connections to people who share their passion.

In addition, 79% of young Vietnamese people are excited to connect with locals before starting their travel journey. This shows that creating new relationships and exploring local culture is becoming a trend that young people are particularly interested in.

"Be smart and don't rush. Truly meaningful connections take time to build," Tinder advises young people.

Both of you seem to want to meet up because you've gotten so close, and then one of you suddenly says you're busy, which is also a red flag for Tinder. Someone who's serious will want to meet up, not just be there through text messages.

Additionally, it’s normal to share small bits of your daily life with someone you’re dating. However, if that person starts asking for personal information, like your home address, ID, or banking information, Tinder recommends that you decline immediately.

One of the most common scams is to connect online to ask for financial help. So when the other person starts mentioning financial difficulties such as bank account errors, urgent need for medical bills, or attractive business opportunities before you even meet them, that is a red light. Refuse firmly and firmly leave the conversation.
