✓ Protect your privacy. Never include your full name, exact address, phone number, email, or any other personal details in your public profile. If someone pressures you to share private or financial information, stop engaging and report them immediately. BiheNepal keeps all information you provide during registration private- please don’t add it to your bio or share it in messages.

✓ Take your time. Don’t rush into sharing too much about yourself. Wait until you’ve built trust. Be especially cautious with profiles that haven’t uploaded a clear photo or completed their profile.

✓ Keep it respectful. Avoid sending or sharing intimate photos or messages with anyone on the app.

Be wary of fake profiles, fake pictures, requests for money, people claiming to be "out of the country" and in need of financial assistance, odd messages that could be templates, quickly asking to talk or chat on an outside email or messaging service, vanishing mysteriously from the site, then reappearing under a different name.

⚠️ Never send money to anyone you meet on the app, no matter the reason. Protect yourself from scams. If someone asks for money, report them immediately. ⚠️

Get to know someone through chat before you decide to meet in person. Take your time and don’t rush to meet them before you know them well enough. We don't verify criminal backgrounds or such details of users, so it is your responsibility to make sure that the relationship you have with one of our users is legal and remain cautious. You can ask questions to screen for any red flags or personal dealbreakers. You can also have a phone call and video call beforehand for safety.

Always meet in a public place during your first few meetings, and until you have full trust in the person you are meeting. If the person you are meeting tries to pressure you to go to a private location, you must leave immediately.

Before going for a date, always make sure a few important people (close friends/ relatives) are aware of when and where you’re going, and whom you are planning to meet. Even during the date, make sure you have your phone on and emergency dial accessible at all times. It is best that you know and have fact-checked important personal details about the person before you meet them, including their education, workplace, family, etc (today, most of this information can be verified by connecting to the person via social media.)

Remember to have your own transportation to get to and return from the date, so you don’t have to depend on the other party. This will allow you to go and return on your own will, and will prevent your new date from knowing your pickup/drop-off location.

We want to warn anyone to avoid any alcohol use especially on the first few dates, and know what your limits are. Since alcohol can impair your judgment, please remain aware of all the effects that could result from careless use of alcohol.

If you decide to drink, only accept ones that are directly served by the restaurant/bartender. Make sure no one can tamper with the drink, since many sexual assault cases result from other substances being unknowingly mixed into the drinks. Also keep your personal belongings guarded and with you at all times.

Please remember that if you start to feel uncomfortable at any point of the date, you can leave immediately. You can also request a staff member of the restaurant/ institution for any help, if you feel threatened in any way.
