To report a user inside CoreAllure, tap the three dots on their profile or message info@coreallure.com.
The basics. Simple to follow, hard to overstate. Take ten minutes to read these before your first conversation.
Don't share your last name, home address, workplace, financial details, or full date of birth in early messages. Stay inside the CoreAllure chat until you genuinely trust someone — not just the version of them you've imagined.
Profiles with one photo, generic prompts, no voice bio, or photos that feel too polished — be cautious. Verified profiles (blue tick) have been ID-checked by us. Reverse-image-search a photo if something feels off.
If someone makes you uncomfortable, evades simple questions, pushes for personal details too fast, or pressures you to meet — that's information. Block, report, move on. You don't owe anyone politeness when something feels wrong.
Not for emergencies, flights, medical bills, taxes, business opportunities, crypto, or "to prove you trust them." Nobody you've met online needs your money. This is the most common scam on every dating platform.
Be honest about who you are. Recent photos that look like you actually look. Voice bios that sound like you actually sound. The whole point of CoreAllure is real connection — and that starts with showing up as yourself.
There's no prize for fastest in-person meeting. A few days of real conversation tells you more than dozens of photos. If someone is rushing the timeline, that's worth paying attention to.
First dates should feel exciting, not anxious. Build these into your default routine — they're not paranoid, they're sensible.
Tell a friend or family member where you're going, who you're meeting (share their CoreAllure profile), and when you expect to be home. Share your live location with them through your phone for the duration of the date.
First few dates: busy public places only. Cafés, bars, restaurants, parks. Not their home. Not your home. Not anywhere isolated. Plenty of cinematic dates have happened on a coffee shop terrace.
Make your own way to and from the date. Don't get picked up from home or dropped off there until you trust them — even if it seems polite. Your address is yours to share when you're ready.
Order your own drinks. Don't leave drinks unattended. If you start feeling unwell, off, or strangely intoxicated, tell staff immediately — bars and restaurants are trained to help. Trust feelings over politeness.
It's okay to leave. At any point. For any reason. No explanation owed. If you feel uneasy, go to the bathroom, message your safety contact, and head home. A bad date is a story. Your safety isn't negotiable.
It can be withdrawn at any time. Yours, theirs, anyone's. A yes to one thing isn't a yes to anything else. Anyone worth meeting will understand this without needing it explained.
If you spot any of these, it doesn't mean someone is dangerous. It does mean: pay closer attention, slow down, and don't ignore your instincts.
