Making Your wedpartner.com Experience Safe & Successful
Finding the kind of life partner that lasts a lifetime online is not only possible, but likely. Wedpartner.com works hard to deliver you the most compatible matches possible. We believe in empowering you to make the best choices by providing guidance and support to help you discover your best qualities and those of your potential partners throughout your search.
As with anyone you meet—online or offline—your sound judgment and instincts are necessary to protect yourself. Here are the essential 'rules-of-the-road' for safely navigating online relationships.
1. Always Use Your Best Judgment
While wedpartner.com routinely monitors account activity and investigates all complaints of unusual, inappropriate or falsified accounts, wedpartner.com does not conduct background checks at the time an account is registered. As with any personal interaction, keep in mind it is always possible for people to misrepresent themselves but assessing a match's truthfulness and honesty is ultimately your responsibility. Don't ignore any facts that seem inconsistent or “off.” Trust your instincts—if something doesn't feel right, close communication. You're in control of the entire process, so you can choose a comfortable pace for your relationship.
Watch out for someone who:
• Asks for money or any type of financial assistance, especially if you have never met in person.
• Asks you to assist with personal transactions (depositing funds, shipping merchandise, etc).
• Wants to speed up the pace beyond your comfort level.
• Reports a sudden personal crisis and pressures you to provide assistance. If this happens, view the request with healthy skepticism. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes: If you were faced with an emergency, why would you turn to a person you’ve only recently met online for assistance rather than seeking help from family or friends? Although it can be embarrassing to ask for help from a loved one, most people would find it far worse to have to ask a person they’ve only just met for money or other items of value.
• Asks inappropriate questions.
• Tells stories with inconsistencies, some which may sound grandiose.
• Gives vague answers to specific questions.
• Urges you to compromise your principles.
• Constantly blames others for troubles in his or her life.
• Insists on getting overly close, overly fast.
2. Be Cautious When Sharing Personal Information
We strongly encourage you to be cautious when sharing personal information that could reveal your identity. Take full advantage of our secure and completely anonymous Guided Communication process, and resist the urge to provide a personal email or phone number right away, no matter how strong a connection to your match may feel. Once you've given out personal information, you cannot take it back!
Phoning with the other person is a critical requirement in getting to know each other better. But before you share phone numbers, make sure you have discussed the need to respect each other's privacy, and if either of you decide to end communication in the future, you will not use the phone number as a means to pursue an unwanted relationship. For added security, try using your phone's privacy features when you call, like private number blocking.
3. Do Your Own Research
As mentioned above, it is important to note that wedpartner.com does not perform background checks on its members. Wedpartner.com does not perform criminal background checks on its users because there is no national database of criminal convictions in the India and many crimes are never reported or prosecuted, so background checks would provide a false sense of security. It is important to use caution and common sense with every match received.
It is also important to note that our optional identity verification service is not a background check. We rely on the honesty of our members when filling out our Registration Form to supply us with their date of birth, marital status, city and state of residence, occupation, educational background and a myriad of additional items. Regardless of the connection you feel with any of your matches, we encourage you to do your own research before meeting in person. This can be anything from typing your match's name into a search engine, contacting your state or local municipalities to obtain public information, or using a paid service to obtain a full background report. Above all else, use common sense. Pay attention to the details someone shares and if you find anything that doesn't seem to add up, follow your intuition and close the communication.
4. Take Your Time
While online communication can accelerate one's sense of comfort and intimacy, we can't stress enough how important it is for you to take your time getting to know your match. We encourage you to use your time as long as necessary to find out as much about your match as is reasonably possible.
Even though wedpartner.com matching process creates extremely compatible matches, compatibility alone does not eliminate the need for real-life experience. It is vital to date and get to know each other in a deep, revealing and meaningful way by sharing a broad base of experiences together. The more experiences you share, the better your chances of avoiding hidden and sometimes unpleasant surprises. Move slowly, learn about and pay attention to the reality of your new relationship, as well as your relationship goals.
5. Always be Respectful and Kind
Always be respectful and treat your matches as you would want them to treat you. Not every match is going to be right for you so closing communication with matches and having matches close communication with you is a natural and healthy part of our process. Wedpartner.com is about bringing two compatible people together who have a solid foundation from which a long-term relationship would have a high probability of success. You still need to carefully consider whether this particular person is one with whom you would like to further a relationship. If you feel the need to end communication, then be honest, direct and polite. The sooner you address this determination, the better for both of you.
If a match feels the need to close communication with you, please respect their wishes.
6. Report Concerns About a Match to wedpartner.com
