Navigating Safe and Respectful Friend Connections

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).
  • Verify your profile to build trust (coming soon).
  • Discuss boundaries in advance.

During the Meetup:

  • Focus on getting to know each other with no expectations.
  • Be kind and respectful—mutual understanding is key.

After the Meetup:

  • Leave a review for your new friend on their profile, like recommending a mutual friend, to show your appreciation and help others connect with them.
