Safer First Contact: Simple Steps for Meeting Someone New

Use the contact options published on the profile and confirm the basic details before arranging anything in person. Keep early conversations focused on practical information and boundaries.

For a first meeting, consider a public setting and let a trusted person know where you are. Keep control of your own transport, phone and personal belongings.

If information changes unexpectedly or you feel pressured, you can stop the conversation. Use the report option on a profile if you believe a listing is inaccurate or violates the directory rules.
