Safety CentreNo checklist can guarantee safety. Practical guidance from RAINN and major dating-safety resources consistently recommends protecting personal information, meeting in a public place, telling someone you trust about your plans, and keeping control of your own transportation.
Wait until trust develops before sharing a home address, workplace, financial information or a detailed daily routine.
