Creating Safe Friendships
Here’s how to ensure safety during your meetups:
Before Meeting:
- Choose public places for initial meetups.
- Share your plans with a trusted person (name, location, return time).
- Encourage profile verification (coming soon).
During the Meetup:
- Avoid sharing personal details too soon.
- Watch your drinks and order a fresh one if needed.
- Trust your instincts—leave if you feel uncomfortable.
- Ask staff for help if needed; in serious situations, seek assistance getting home or contact authorities.
After the Meetup:
- Go to the user's profile and leave them a review to share your experience and help others build safe connections.
Respecting Friendships
Before Meeting:
- Suggest alcohol-free activities (e.g., museums, outdoor adventures).

- Discuss boundaries in advance.
During the Meetup:
