Respect first: consent, comfort, and clear plans
For a public place, time-boxed first meet, use your own transport, tell a friend, and follow dating safety tips.
Keep personal details gradual: protect your phone number, avoid sharing financial info, and treat off-platform pressure as a red flag.
Hold boundaries calmly, and use block/report tools the moment something feels pushy, inconsistent, or manipulative.
Do this
- Share personal details gradually and keep early chats privacy-aware.
- Stick to the platform until trust is consistent over time.
- Keep first meets public-first and short with a clear end time.
- Use your own transport and keep your plan easy to change.
- Tell a friend where you’re going and when you’ll check in.
- Trust your instincts and step back if anything feels off.
Avoid this
- Don’t send money, gift cards, or travel fees for any reason.
- Don’t accept pressure to move off-platform immediately.
- Don’t share your home address or workplace early.
- Don’t ignore repeated boundary-pushing or guilt tactics.
- Don’t feel obligated to meet if the vibe changes.
- Don’t keep chatting when blocking/reporting is the clearer choice.
