Check the person before making plans
Read any verification results they choose to share and ask relevant questions. A call can help you become familiar with each other. Neither a call nor a verified profile guarantees safe behavior or relationship status.
Choose a place and share your plan
Pick a public setting you feel comfortable in. Tell someone you trust where you are going and when you expect to return. Decide whether you want to check in or share your location with that trusted person.
Keep control of transport and personal details
Arrange your own way there and back. Keep your phone charged and avoid sharing your home address before you are comfortable. Pay attention to your surroundings and belongings.
You can change your mind
You do not owe someone a meeting because you chatted, exchanged verification links or made a plan. If you feel uncomfortable, leave or seek help. These habits can reduce some risks, but no checklist guarantees safety.
