Before meeting a couple
When sharing a dating profile, try signing messages with your first name or initial so the other person knows who is writing. If only one partner plans to come, mention it in the invitation.
Suggest a short first meeting, perhaps an afternoon coffee. Talk in the chat about what you would enjoy and what can wait. Each person can express a preference or cancel the date.
Choose your meeting place and journey home
A busy café you know can make a first meeting easier. Meet there directly. Making your own travel arrangements lets you decide how long you want to stay.
Tell someone you trust where and when you plan to meet. You can keep your address and employer private. The German police guide below has more advice on personal information and first meetings.
