One day, I matched with a guy named David* on a dating app. We started chatting and hit it off right away. We talked about everything from our favourite movies to our childhood memories. However, after a few weeks of chatting, something changed. David started to act differently. He became more demanding and controlling, and he started to make me feel uncomfortable. I tried to ignore the red flags, but they just kept getting more and more pronounced. That&#8217;s when I remembered something my friend had told me about the benefits of screenshotting conversations in dating apps. She said that having a record of the conversations could be helpful in case something went wrong. So, I started screenshotting my conversations with David. At first, I felt a bit awkward about doing it, but I quickly realized how useful it was. I had a record of everything that had been said, and I could refer back to it if I needed to.<br>One day, David started to cross the line. He sent me a message that was abusive and threatening. I was scared and didn&#8217;t know what to do. That&#8217;s when I pulled out my screenshots. I showed them to a friend, who immediately told me to report the behaviour to the authorities. I also reported it to the dating app, who quickly took action and banned David from the platform. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>&#8211; Thu\u1ea7n*<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-row qubely-section qubely-block-fa7da8\"><div class=\"qubely-row-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"qubely-container\"><div class=\"qubely-row \">\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-column qubely-column qubely-column-front qubely-block-ac7fdb\"><div class=\"qubely-column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-advancedlist qubely-block-7ead11\"><div class=\"qubely-block-advanced-list  qubely-alignment-left\"><ul class=\"qubely-list qubely-list-type-unordered qubely-list-bullet-check-circle-outline\"><li>Tip 2: Meet In A Public Place For The First Time<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-row qubely-section qubely-block-cc8ffd\"><div class=\"qubely-row-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"qubely-container\"><div class=\"qubely-row \">\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-column qubely-column qubely-column-front qubely-block-d49553\"><div class=\"qubely-column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-text qubely-block-d92c36\"><div class=\"qubely-block-text  \"><p>Tell a close friend or family member where you are meeting the new person and share the person\u2019s profile with them.
