Safety
Public meets, clear boundaries, measured details
Age does not replace common-sense safety habits. Keep early dating public, kind, and without financial pressure.
Public first meets
Choose a venue you can enter and leave easily, and tell a friend where you are going.
Measured sharing
Keep home addresses, workplace details, and family schedules private until trust is earned.
Report pressure
Block and report anyone who pushes for money, secrecy, or rushed private meets.
Core habits
- Prefer daytime or early evening meets in busy public places.
- Arrange your own transport to and from the venue.
- Use video chat before travelling a long distance.
- Never send money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency.
- Trust discomfort. You can leave without a debate.
