Safety

Last updated: 29 May 2026

1. Take your time

Get to know someone through messages before meeting. Be cautious if someone pressures you to move quickly, share personal details or leave the platform immediately.

2. Protect personal information

Do not share your home address, financial details, passwords, verification codes or sensitive personal information with someone you have just met online.

3. Meet in public first

For a first meeting, choose a public place, tell a trusted person where you are going, arrange your own transport and keep your phone charged.

4. Trust your instincts

If something feels wrong, leave the conversation or meeting. You do not owe anyone your time, attention or explanation.

5. Watch for scams

Be cautious of anyone asking for money, gifts, emergency help, investments, crypto, travel costs or unusual favours.

6. Outdoor meetups

If meeting for walks, camping, festivals or outdoor activities, consider weather, phone signal, transport, lighting, location familiarity and whether the setting is isolated.

7. Get help

If you feel in immediate danger, contact emergency services. For platform concerns, use Meet Me Outdoors Support.
