Meeting Someone for the First Time
Always meet in public: Choose a busy café, restaurant, or park for your first encounter. Avoid private locations or each other's homes initially.
Before the Meeting
- Video chat first: Have a video call before meeting in person to verify identity and get comfortable.
- Tell a friend: Share your plans with someone you trust, including where you're going and who you're meeting.
- Keep details private: Avoid sharing your home address, workplace, or other sensitive personal information early on.
- Use in-app messaging: Communicate through Meet Today's secure messaging system until you feel comfortable switching to other platforms.
During the Meeting
- Stay in public: Keep the date in well-populated areas throughout the meeting.
- Remain sober: Limit alcohol consumption to stay alert and make clear decisions.
- Trust your instincts: If something feels wrong, end the date politely but firmly. Your comfort matters most.
