Red flags in early conversations
Most people are genuine. These signs suggest someone may not be, and that it is time to step back.
01Pressure and guilt
Pushing you to meet sooner, share more or 'prove' you care is a sign someone does not respect your boundaries.
02Stories that do not add up
Details about their job, age or location that change over time are worth noticing.
03Refusing to verify
Unwillingness to video chat or meet in public is a common warning sign.
04Disrespect for 'no'
How someone reacts to a small boundary tells you a lot about how they will treat bigger ones.
05Requests to leave the app quickly
Moving to private messaging early removes the safety tools the app gives you. Take your time.
06You can always walk away
Unmatch, block or report at any time on Riven. You never have to explain why.
