We encourage gay.com visitors to exercise caution and common sense when using our services. Please follow these safety precautions to protect yourself.
- Do not share your personal phone numbers or home address while chatting.
- Do not share credit card or other sensitive financial information with others you meet online.
- When meeting another gay.com visitor for the first time, always arrange to meet in public, not a secluded place such as a motel or private home.
- If you have a mobile phone, take it with you. Most mobile phones are compatible with 911 (if 911 services are available in your area).
- Tell at least one friend where you are going, who you are meeting and when you expect to return. Contact that friend after your meeting or ask that friend to contact you at a predetermined time.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel unsure about a situation, excuse yourself and leave immediately.
