First meeting tips
How to plan a first meeting with a match: where to meet, what to talk about, and how to stay safe.
Video call first
A short video call before meeting confirms the person is who they say they are and makes the meeting less awkward.
Meet in a public place, in daylight
A café or a well-known spot in town works well. Tell your family where you are going and when you expect to be back.
Keep it light
Talk about work, hobbies, travel, food and family. Leave the big questions for later conversations.
Make your own way there and back
Arrange your own travel, keep your phone charged, and leave if anything feels wrong.
Never share money or OTPs
No genuine match will ask for money, gift cards or OTPs. If someone does, stop and report them.
Questions
Should families come to the first meeting?
That is up to you. Many couples meet first on their own in a public place, then involve families.
