I remember how once my friend Andrey shared his experience. Having met a girl from the app, he felt that something was wrong. He told me: \"I was on edge, it seems something didn't add up. And I trusted my feeling\". I immediately understood that safety on dates is not only about external measures, but also about the inner feeling.\n\n## Preparation for the Meeting\n\nPreparation is your first shield. I put myself in the shoes of someone who is worried and immediately think: what would I want to know in advance? I always try not to limit myself to superficial data.\n\n- **Profile check**. Once I came across a girl's profile where everything seemed too perfect. I decided to check the photo through reverse search on the internet. It turned out to be pictures from a fashion magazine. Honestly, after that I became more attentive to such details. If the photo and information raise doubts, it's worth asking: \"Tell me about the place where you live?\" If the answer is evasive — that's a signal.\n\n- **Video call**. Andrey once suggested to his new acquaintance to have a short video call before the meeting. She immediately agreed, and it became a sign of trust for him. If someone avoids this form of communication, it is alarming. After all, spending 10 minutes on a video call is a small effort for peace of mind.\n\n- **Share plans with friends**. I often write to my friend Pasha before a meeting: \"Meeting Katya at 19:00 in 'Kofemania', if I disappear — look for me there!\" This simple message can play a key role.\n\n## Safe Behavior on the Date\n\nThe moment of truth arrives. How many times has it happened that the first impression turned out to be deceptive. I remember how one girl invited me straight to her home. It alarmed me, and I suggested meeting at a cafe.\n\n- **Public places**. I always choose a cafe or a park. Once I had a date in a busy shopping center. It allowed me to feel safe and avoid awkward situations. When Andrey once met a girl at her apartment — it didn't end well. A lesson for life.\n\n- **Drinks under control**. My friend Nastya once said: \"If you leave a drink unattended — order a new one\". Sensible. I also had to watch for such moments, especially in noisy bars.\n\n- **Attention to intuition**. Andrey shared: \"Once on a date, the girl started insisting too much on details about my work. It alarmed me\". I always keep a backup plan — if something goes wrong, I retreat under some pretext.\n\n## After the Meeting\n\nDon't relax right away. Even if everything went smoothly.\n\n- **Message to a friend**. I always write: \"Everything's fine, I'm home\" — a short message to a friend after the date. This is not only a sign that everything is okay, but also a kind gesture that reminds you that people care about you.\n\n- **Caution with information**. Sometimes after a successful date you want to share everything right away, but I prefer to wait. There was a case when I told too quickly about my work and it led to unpleasant consequences. A separate number or email for dating — that's what I recommend.\n\n## Technology as Helpers\n\nTechnology can be your ally, but not the only protection. I remember how once in the app I encountered a selfie verification feature — it inspired confidence. However, in the end, I always rely on my feelings and reason.\n\nThese tips are the fruit of my personal experience and observations. I hope they help you avoid unpleasant situations. Listen to yourself, because your safety is in your hands. Take care of yourself and enjoy dating, without forgetting what's important.\n\n## Read also\n\n- [10 Mistakes on the First Date That Everyone Makes](\u002Fblog\u002F10-oshibok-na-pervom-svidanii)\n- [How to Distinguish Real Interest from Politeness](\u002Fblog\u002Fkak-otlichit-nastoyashchiy-interes)\n- [Dating After 30: New Rules of the Game in 2026](\u002Fblog\u002Fznakomstva-posle-30)","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.unsplash.com\u002Fphoto-1518600942388-37b306a5544b?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3w5MDUzMTF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxzYWZldHklMjBkYXRpbmclMjBzZWN1cml0eSUyMHByb3RlY3Rpb258ZW58MHwwfHx8MTc3NTA2NDAwOHww&ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=80&w=1080",true,"2026-01-08T02:00:00.000Z","2026-01-08T04:00:00.000Z","bezopasnost-na-svidaniyah",[26,35,42],{"id":27,"title":28,"slug":29,"slugTranslations":30,"coverImageUrl":31,"isPublished":21,"createdAt":32,"updatedAt":33,"_score":34},"3b5274d6-62af-4ad1-b4e7-187e22593580","Networking Meetings Fail.
