How Do You Report Someone You Met at a Tinder Event?

Open Tinder, tap the Events tab and find the Event you attended with the person. Tap their page, then tap the three dots, tap Report and follow the steps. You can also report by email through Tinder's contact form, and Tinder asks you to include as much information as you are comfortable sharing.

The route starts from the Event, not from your conversations. Open the Events tab, find the Event you both attended, and tap the person's profile from there. The three dots open the menu, and Report walks you through the rest.

That matters when the two of you never matched or talked in the app. You met in a room, not in a chat, so the Event is the place to find them.

If you would rather write it out properly, Tinder takes reports by email through its contact form. Include as much as you are comfortable sharing: which Event it was, what happened, roughly when in the evening, and anything the person said or sent.

Email also suits the reports that are hard to squeeze into a few taps, such as something that happened to a friend of yours, or behavior you watched build up over the course of the night.

A report is for behavior, not for a bad evening. A woman who was cold to you, or a man who talked over you, is not a report.

Report someone who harassed you or anyone else, threatened a person, pushed physical contact on someone who did not want it, or took photos of people without asking. Report someone who used the Event to pitch money schemes or sell something. If a person made the room feel unsafe, that is worth Tinder knowing even if nothing happened to you personally.

Facts beat anger every time. Name the Event, describe what happened in the order it happened, and quote anything that was said if you remember it. Mention anyone else who saw it.

Keep opinions out of it. "He grabbed her arm twice after she stepped back" gives Tinder something to act on. "He was a creep" does not. A calm, specific report is also easier to believe, because it reads like someone describing what they saw rather than settling a score.

If something happens during the Event, deal with the moment first and the report second. Step away from the person. Tell the organizer or the venue staff. If you came with a friend, stay together. If it is serious, leave and call the police.

Do not try to settle it yourself in front of everyone. A confrontation turns a report into an argument about who started it, and it rarely ends the way the man who started it hoped.

Events work because people relax around each other, and one man pushing too hard can spoil that for everyone. A little self-awareness keeps you well on the right side of it.

dating advice advises against taking women anywhere crowded with loud, competitive men. At an Event, do not be that man. a dating program makes a point about women out with friends that fits here as well: single one woman out and ignore the rest, and her friends close ranks, and she goes with them.

So talk to the group, not only the woman you like. Watch whether she is enjoying the conversation, and take a polite no at the first sign of one. a dating coach has pointed out that complaints from women hurt a man with the app itself, and at an Event, every woman in the room can make one.

Do that and the Event does what it is for. You leave with a conversation worth continuing, maybe a plan for a drink, and no story about the night it went wrong.
