Start in public
Choose a busy, familiar place for the first meeting. Avoid homes, hotel rooms, isolated trails, and last-minute private location changes.
Travel and meeting safety
Make a plan that keeps you in control
Take simple precautions before meeting someone, joining an event, or traveling together. Trust your judgment and leave whenever something feels wrong.
Before you meet or travel
Keep an independent exit
Control your own transport, accommodation, identification, money, and return plan. Do not rely on a new companion for your only way home.
Tell someone you trust
Share the person's profile, your general plan, and when you expect to check in. Keep exact booking details out of public profiles and chats you do not trust.
Never send money
Watch for urgent stories, ticket or visa schemes, pressure to move off-platform, and requests for transfers, gift cards, cryptocurrency, documents, or account access.
Your controls
Block and report when you need to
Blocking is immediate and reciprocal across visible profiles. Reporting privately sends a safety concern for review. Reporting does not contact emergency services.
This guide does not collect your location, itinerary, emergency contacts, or health information.
