Meeting for the First Time

Meeting in person is exciting. Have fun and explore the level of chemistry you share with your date while keeping your safety as your first priority. These tips can help you feel comfortable when you meet your matches in person: For your first few dates, meet your date in a public place. If the date pressures you to meet at their house or at an isolated place, please cancel the date. When it comes to drug and alcohol consumption, don’t let your date pressure you to do something you’re not comfortable with. Know your limits and be confident in your decisions. Use your own transportation, so you can leave when you want to. Never agree to be picked up at your home and wherever possible, drive yourself or use a ride-share app. Tell at least one friend or family member about your plans and when you will return. Arrange to check in with them after each of the first few dates. Carry a fully charged mobile phone with easily accessible emergency numbers. Make sure your purse and any drinks are always kept within eyesight.

Keep It Positive

Not every match is going to be right for you, so closing communication with matches and having matches close communication with you is a natural and healthy part of the process. It can be hard to be rejected or close off communication with someone, but if you do, please be honest, direct, and polite.
