SAFETY DATING ADVICE
At Kopi Date, we firmly believe that each individual deserves a secure and comfortable environment to form empowered, respectful, and meaningful bonds.
It's thrilling to meet new individuals, but when dealing with someone unfamiliar, it's always prudent to exercise caution. Prioritise your safety whether you're in the initial stages of meeting face-to-face or messaging.
Although you can't control what others do, there are measures you can take to ensure your safety at Kopi Date.
Safety Measures
Refrain from Sending Money or Disclosing Financial Details
You should never dispatch money, especially via wire transfer, regardless of the person insisting they're in a crisis. Sending money via wire is akin to giving out cash – reversing the transaction or tracking the money's destination is nearly impossible. Avoid sharing details that could grant access to your financial accounts. If a member solicits money from you, promptly report it to us.
Safeguard Your Private Details
Avoid disclosing personal information like your IC (Singapore), SIN/TFN (Sydney) or passport number, residential or employment address, or specifics about your regular schedule (for example, your consistent Friday gym visits) to strangers. As a parent, restrain from sharing too much information about your children on your profile or during initial conversations. Refrain from providing specifics such as your children's names, their schools, their ages, or their genders.
Report Any Suspicious or Inappropriate Behaviour
You can recognise when someone breaches acceptable behaviour, and when such instances occur, we would like to be informed. Report any individual violating our terms. Here are several examples of such violations:
Requests for money or donations
Members below the required age
Harassment, threats, and abusive messages
Inappropriate or harmful conduct during or after an in-person meeting
Fraudulent profiles
Spam or solicitation, including links to commercial websites or attempts to sell products or services
You can raise any issues about suspicious behaviour by emailing hello@kopidate.com.
Safeguard Your Account
Ensure you select a robust password, and always exercise caution when accessing your account from a public or shared computer. Kopi Date will never dispatch an email requesting your username and password details — should you receive an email seeking such information, report it straight away.
Meeting in Person
Choose Public Places and Remain There
Arrange the post-Kopi Date meetup or continue your Kopi Date experience in a busy, public place — never at your home, your date's home, or any other private venue. If your date insists on moving to a private location, terminate the date.
Inform Friends and Family About Your Agenda
Inform a friend or family member about your plans, including the timing and location. Ensure your mobile phone is fully charged and within your reach at all times.
Maintain Control Over Your Transport
We want you to have control over your transportation to and from the date, enabling you to leave whenever you wish. If you're driving yourself, it's wise to have a contingency plan like a ride-share app or a friend ready to pick you up.
Understand Your Boundaries
Be conscious of the influence of alcohol on you personally — they can impair your judgment and alertness. If your date tries to persuade you into drinking more than you're comfortable with, stand firm and terminate the date.
Avoid Leaving Drinks or Personal Items Unattended
Be aware of the source of your drink and keep it in sight at all times — only accept drinks poured or served directly by the bartender or waiter. Many substances used to facilitate sexual assault are odourless, colourless, and tasteless. Additionally, keep items like your phone, purse, wallet, and anything containing personal information with you at all times.
Leave if You Feel Unsettled
It's completely acceptable to cut the date short if you're feeling uneasy. In fact, it's advisable. If your instincts are suggesting something is not right or you feel unsafe, ask the bartender or server for assistance.
Sexual Health & Agreement
Protect Yourself
When utilised accurately and consistently, condoms can greatly reduce the risk of acquiring and transmitting STIs like HIV. However, be mindful of STIs like herpes or HPV that can be transmitted via skin-to-skin contact. The risk of contracting some STIs can be lessened through vaccination.
Acknowledge Your Status
Not all STIs present symptoms, and you wouldn't want to be unaware of your condition. Stay abreast of your health and curb the spread of STIs by getting tested regularly.
Discuss It
Communication is key: Prior to becoming physically intimate with a partner, have a conversation about sexual health and STI testing. And be conscious — in certain places, knowingly transmitting an STI is a criminal act. Need assistance initiating the discussion?
Consent
All sexual activity must commence with consent and should involve continual check-ins with your partner. Verbal communication can aid you and your partner in respecting each other's boundaries. Consent can be revoked at any time, and sex is never a debt owed to anyone. Do not proceed if your partner appears uncomfortable or uncertain, or if your partner is unable to consent due to the effects of alcohol.
Resources for Help, Support, or Advice
Your safety is of utmost priority at Kopi Date. If you feel unsafe at any point in the date, please inform us directly through Whatsapp so that we can guide you accordingly.
For emergency cases, please dial 999 (Singapore) 000 or 131 444 (Sydney), and inform the relevant authorities.
If you or someone you know has been abused, harassed, or hurt, there are organisations offering confidential support, 24/7. You’re not alone, and it’s never your fault.
