You have been chatting. It seems promising. They want to meet. But should you? This assessment evaluates your readiness.

Pre-Meeting Checklist

Before agreeing to meet, ensure:

  • You have had a video call (the #1 verification step)
  • You can find them on social media with consistent information
  • You have a public venue in mind that you chose
  • Someone knows your plans
  • You have your own transport

Confidence Level Assessment

Rate yourself honestly: how confident are you in their identity? How comfortable does your gut feel? How prepared is your safety plan? If any of these are low, delay until they are resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I chat before meeting?+

Duration matters less than verification quality. A well-verified match after 1 week is safer to meet than an unverified match after 2 months. Focus on verification milestones, not calendar time.
