🛡️ Dating Safety Tips

Your safety is the top priority. Please keep these essential tips in mind when meeting someone new:

• 1. Meet in Public: Always meet for the first few times in a well-lit, populated public place. Never at your home or theirs.
• 2. Tell a Friend: Share your plans with a trusted friend or family member. Let them know where you are going and who you are meeting.
• 3. Stay Sober: Keep a clear head. Avoid excessive alcohol or substances that could impair your judgment or physical safety.
• 4. Transport Yourself: Have your own way to and from the date (your own car, a ride-share app, or public transit). Don't rely on your date for a ride home.
• 5. Trust Your Gut: If something feels "off" or you feel uncomfortable, you have every right to leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation for prioritizing your safety.
• 6. Keep Personal Info Private: Don't share your home address, workplace, or specific daily routines until you know and trust the person well.
