Tinder Safe Dating Personal Meetings

• Do not give your exact address. Meet somewhere close on your first date, but never at your house door.
• It is advisable not to give your phone number before your first date. If the person insists on talking outside the app, you can choose to add the person on Facebook instead.
• Be careful what pictures you add to your Tinder profile. Some people may try to steal pictures to use them without your consent, so it is advisable to avoid pictures that are too revealing and that can be used in different contexts.
• If you want to make sure nobody can track you, you can also use Tinder on your PC.

When meeting your Tinder date there are also some tips you can try, though they are merely common sense and are basically the same as any precautions you can take when meeting a someone you don't know conventionally.

• Meet in a public place instead of your house or his/hers.
• Do not agree to anything you're not sure about, you are free to go as far as you fancy or to say no.
• Dating needs to be fun, choose to do something you'll both enjoy with your date, no matter how far you go.
• Use your own common sense.
• Turn off your visibility if you don't want others to know if you are using Tinder when in your home town.
