Before you meet
- Verify what you can. Look for a Verified badge, and have a short chat first so you get a sense of the person.
- Choose a public place. Cafes, restaurants and busy parks are good choices.
- Tell a friend. Share who, where and when, and agree to check in afterward.
During the date
- Arrange your own transport. You decide when to leave.
- Keep personal details private. Don't share your home address, workplace details or financial information.
- Watch your drink and your pace. Stay aware, and keep it moderate.
- Trust your instincts. If something feels off, it's fine to leave.
Red flags
- Pressure to move to a private location
- Requests for money or financial details
- Refusal to meet in public
- Inconsistent stories or evasive answers
If something goes wrong
Leave, contact a friend, and report the person to the platform. In an emergency, call 911.
