Meeting in person: a safety checklist

Meeting someone new should feel exciting, not stressful. A few habits make it much safer.

Before you go

• Video-chat first to confirm they are who they say they are.
• Tell a friend where you are going and when to expect you back.
• Arrange your own transport.

On the date

• Choose a busy public place.
• Keep your drink with you and stay sober enough to make good decisions.
• Leave if anything feels off — you owe nobody an explanation.
