BEFORE MEETING
Let trust grow through conversation
Enjoyable messages are a good start, but also notice whether his behaviour stays consistent and respectful over time.
A reassuring impression is positive, but practical precautions still make sense even when a contact seems trustworthy.
PRIVACY
Keep sensitive information private
Your exact address, passwords, bank details and access codes are not needed to know someone.
WHEN TO STEP BACK
Some behaviours deserve caution
Requests for money, major contradictions, emotional pressure or persistent behaviour after a refusal are warning signs.
An urgent or emotional story does not change the need to protect your finances.
FIRST DATE
Choose a public place and keep your independence
A café or other public setting allows you to meet without unnecessary commitment. Arrange your own travel.
DURING THE DATE
You can change your mind at any time
Agreeing to a date does not oblige you to continue it or meet again.
