1) Know each other:
Before agreeing to meet, please engage in sufficient communication on the platform. Do not hesitate to ask questions to identify potential issues or unacceptable matters.
2) Meet in Public Place:
When meeting in person, especially for the first time, choose a public place like a restaurant or café, and let a close friend know where you are. If your date suggests going to a private location, it is best to end the meeting.
3) Arrange your own transportation:
Ensure you have control over your mode of transportation so you can leave when it is convenient for you. If you drive yourself, consider having a backup plan, such as a ride-sharing app or a friend on standby.
4) Stay Sober:
Avoid alcohol and drugs, as they may impair your judgment and increase risks. Always keep your drink within sight. If your date pressures you to drink more or use drugs, stand your ground and end the date.
5) Trust Your Instincts: If You Feel Uncomfortable, leave.
If at any time you feel uncomfortable, it is perfectly okay to end the date early. If something feels off or you sense danger, do not hesitate to seek help from the bartender or a server.
