Public places first.
Meet at an open, staffed public venue or a well-used public route during suitable hours. Avoid private homes, isolated locations and lifts from people you have just met. Keep your own transport and an easy way to leave.
Boundaries are part of the plan.
A person’s backstory, phone number, photo and social profiles belong to them. Ask before sharing or photographing. Respect a no, don’t pursue unwanted romantic contact, and don’t use a friendship meeting to sell products, recruit or seek money.
Agree on cost and access.
Confirm venue prices, route length, seating, toilets, step-free access and weather alternatives as needed. Nobody should discover an expensive booking on arrival. Declining an activity because of cost or access is always acceptable.
Be dependable, not perfect.
Arrive when agreed, send notice if you cannot make it, and make room for quieter people. Disagreement is okay; harassment, discrimination, intimidation and repeated boundary-crossing are not.
If something feels wrong.
Leave if you need to. Use the contact form’s safety topic to report a concern; share only the details needed to understand it. This is not a live-monitored or emergency channel. In immediate danger, contact your local emergency service or a trusted person nearby.
Know the limits.
We cannot guarantee someone’s conduct, compatibility or friendship outcomes. There are no current background checks or identity verification. A host’s presence does not remove the need for your own judgment. Participation is voluntary at every step.
