The first-date safety checklist (sugar dating edition)

Great dates start with feeling safe. These are the habits experienced Muses swear by.

Before

◆Only meet verified members. Look for the ✓ badge; it means a moderator has matched their ID to a live selfie.

◆Keep the conversation on DaddySponsor until you trust someone. Our chat warns about scams, and moving to other apps removes that protection.

◆Never send money, gift cards or crypto, and never share passwords or verification codes. Real Patrons never ask.

◆Video-call first if anything feels off.

During

◆Meet somewhere public for the first time: a restaurant, a hotel bar, the opera foyer.

◆Get there and home on your own terms. Book your own taxi.

◆Tell a friend where you'll be and when you'll check in.

◆Stay in control of your drink and your evening. You can leave at any moment, whatever the experience cost.

After

◆If someone made you uncomfortable, block and report. Reports are anonymous.

◆Nobody is owed a second date, or anything else.

Red flags

◆Pressure to move off the platform fast.

◆Talk of "allowances per meeting" or anything that sounds like payment for intimacy. That breaks our rules: report it.

◆Refusing to verify or video-call.
