Shield Date is a private reputation-check service that manually searches the Tea App and the Are We Dating The Same Guy (AWDTSG) Facebook groups to tell men whether they have been posted about, and returns a documented report within 24 hours.
What is Shield Date?
Shield Date is a paid, one-off search service that checks whether a man's name, photo, or dating profile appears in the Tea App and the Are We Dating The Same Guy (AWDTSG) Facebook groups, where women post about men they have dated. A customer submits a first name, last initial, age, city, and email, plus an optional phone number and photo; a real person then searches the groups by hand, post by post, and delivers a report containing dated screenshots and screen recordings showing both what was found and where the search was carried out. The service runs on the web at shielddate.com, takes payment through Stripe, and was started by a man who had been posted about himself. Nearly all client details are optional beyond the basics, and submitted information is deleted once the report is delivered.
What makes Shield Date stand out?
- Human search, not scraping — A person works through the Tea App and AWDTSG groups post by post; the site states there is no script and no shortcut.
- Proof of the search itself — Reports include dated screenshots and screen recordings of any matching post plus the places that were checked, so a “nothing found” answer is documented rather than assumed.
- 24-hour delivery guarantee — Most reports go out within 4 hours of the request and never later than 24 hours; a report later than 24 hours is refunded in full.
- Automatic $20 refund for unreachable groups — AWDTSG groups are constantly renamed, split, archived, or locked down; if the group covering a customer's region cannot be reached, Shield Date runs the Tea App search alone and refunds $20.
- Confidential handling — No account is created, bank statements show only “SHIELD DATE,” and the groups, posters, and moderators are never contacted.
- Two free removal guides — Written walkthroughs cover removing a Tea App post with a DMCA takedown notice and removing an AWDTSG post through Facebook's copyright route, including the wording to send.
- Minimal input — About two minutes of detail: first name, last initial, age, city, email, and optional phone and photo, which matters because group posts typically identify men by first name, age, city, and pictures rather than a full name.
Who should use Shield Date?
- Actively dating men — anyone who has heard the Tea App or AWDTSG exists in their city and wants to confirm whether their name or photo appears before it affects a current relationship.
- Men after a recent breakup — Tea posts are most often written in the first six months after a split, so a newly single man can check for a post written by an ex.
- Men who were told “something” — someone whose friend, coworker, or match said they heard something can get the actual text and dated screenshots instead of a rumor.
- Men preparing to remove a post — anyone who suspects a post exists can obtain evidence to use alongside the free Tea App and AWDTSG removal guides.
How does Shield Date work?
- Submit your identifying details — first name, last initial, age, city, email, and optional phone number and photo. The form takes about two minutes.
- A real person manually searches the Tea App and your local AWDTSG Facebook group post by post.
- Within 24 hours, and usually within about 4, you receive a report with screenshots and screen recordings — whether anything was found or not.
FAQ
Will anyone know I ran a check?
No. Shield Date does not contact the groups, the people who posted, or anyone else, nothing in the process identifies you as having requested a scan, and your details are deleted as soon as the report is delivered.
Why can't I just search for myself?
None of this content is on Google. The Tea App is a women-only app and AWDTSG is a set of private Facebook groups, so the posts are not public, not indexed, and access as a man is extremely difficult — which is the reason the service exists.
Can Shield Date get a post taken down?
Not directly. The company states it does not contact posters, argue with moderators, or attempt removals on your behalf. Instead it supplies the evidence and includes a step-by-step guide to each platform's removal process.
What do you get if nothing is found?
You still receive the full report, showing where the search was carried out and confirming you are clear. Many customers describe that documented all-clear as the outcome they were paying for.
