When I was on as a total single girl I always had a friend know when I had a meet even a social, or went to swingers clubs and if you chat to staff they will always look out for you  x |

I was well confused as you come up as a couple.
Personally I spend a lot of time chatting and getting to know a potential meet. I meet socially somewhere very public and have a safety text buddy who knows where I am. Obviously that still doesn't 100% guarantee my safety but I think it helps minimise being in an unsafe situation. |

See im probably farrrrrrr to open for my own good.
Folk know my name, im friends with several people from here on facebook, ive given out my number..
Think im just dead lucky with stuff 
Ive not met properly for a very long time but would always let people know where im going. I actually was honest with my mum when i started on here aged 22 and would be straight with her. Never went into details obviously.
One of my best mates is a landlady of a pub and are also on here,, so thats my safe place for social meets

As a man, safety issues come up also, as you just do t know whether you're meeting a genuine person or a group of thugs out to gay bash. So, I have also notified a close friend whenever I was meeting someone and he had the phone feature to share location. We had a code that if I messaged, it would be to confirm everywas ok or if it was asking a blatantly obviously wrong message, that something was wrong. I always trusted instinct though and tried to meet in a public place to suss out personality face to face.
I believe there are sites and apps which you can join where everyone helps each other as an anonymous friend. I don't have experience of them, but in theory, the good ones are a good idea. |

I talk to people for a while before I meet, someone always knows where I am and who I with (I often use the excuse that it's from a dating site). I make sure we meet in a public place and that there's a mutual acknowledgment that it's primarily a social only but open to more if both are happy. Also, the people I meet come to my town so I can always make a safe getaway if needs be - I haven't had to yet! |

It's good idea to let someone know where you going and if they should be worried if you don't return/answer calls after a certain amount of time.
Meeting strangers online will never be safe whether it's just for a social or something more.
People may appear nice and friendly at first and then when you're one on one with them they reveal their true selfs.
I recommend carrying pepper spray  |

Yeah I do I think meeting in public is a must. Surprising how many men just want to meet in my home. |

Definitely everyone on here needs to consider their safety regardless of gender. |

I like to chat for a while online first to get a feel for someone,I just hope there's more people than not like myself that are pretty sane and not out to cause harm. I think we can be a little too paranoid at time's,just use your instincts. We can never be a 100% sure of someone. |

When meeting for the first time I always suggest/offer a lady the option to meet in a public place of her choosing so that she feels safe and can leave anytime she chooses. That said I have been invited straight to her place on the first meet and pretty much pulled through the door....!  |

I always prefer to chat, usually for quite a while, so that we really get a good idea of whether we are going to click if and when we meet.Flirty chat is also fun.. |

True, men have been set up for some kind of robbery or other sting by a pretty lady/honey trap.  |

I feel we all have are guard up when meeting someone for the first time but what if a regular meet suddenly turns nasty?
I've heard some horrible stories from women here regarding regular meets going very badly wrong. I try and trust my instincts and if something feels wrong I won't meet. |

"Being a single woman on here I feel safety is a huge barrier, I was wondering how other single women tackle this problem."
.Too me safety is very important. I need to chat with someone for a while and meet in a public place. Why do some men on here expect sex on first meet? Have had to fight a man off. I need to feel safe and comfortable with a man first. Before I even think I will.

That shouldn't happen having to fight someone off. Problem is even if you report it, there's little that can be done about it I guess. This is where a bad veri would be useful but then it wouldn't be displayed. That's the loophole in the whole veri system. |

I blocked and reported . But he is still on here. I would have left a truthful veri but that is not an option .

There are signs and traits etc, I never said messaging was foolproof but it's a very good tool  |

Social meet first for a coffee. I also trust my gut instinct too.
I had a bad experience on another site that lead to some drama so i'm very wary these days, unfortunately. |

I never accommodate first meet and always tell my best friend where I am going. I've been on site since summer 2015 and happy to report I've had lots of successful meets |

Always tell my best friend, and always meet socially first. That's about the gist of it? And talk for a long time before meets as it gives you a better idea of who they are
But always tell someone |

A few guys have given me their full name to check on facebook before meeting.
If you get someone's number you can put that in facebook too to search for them.
Of course people can make up fake accounts etc but more often than not we have at least 1 mutual friend if local. Makes me feel a little safer. |

When I was single I really didn’t think about my safety ever, I went to guys houses alone and didn’t tell anyone where I was going, looking back I took a huge risk.

Clubs and socials are the safest and most clubs will keep an eye out on you and ring taxis etc.. also having a safe call in place telling someone where your going etc texting when get there and check up text or safe msg when you get home.
