It’s important to remember that you should always take precautions when meeting new people online as it’s impossible to tell whether the other person is being truthful about their identity or intentions until you meet them in real life. To help ensure your safety while using dating websites/apps make sure you research potential matches thoroughly before deciding to meet up with them offline – this includes verifying any information provided such as full name (and checking social media profiles), asking questions related to shared interests so that conversations feel natural rather than forced etc., making sure both parties agree upon where the date will take place ahead of time etc. Furthermore, it's recommended not share too much personal information during initial interactions (e-mail address / phone number) but instead wait until after multiple meetings have taken place before doing so – this helps reduce risks associated with potentially dangerous situations arising due excessive familiarity prior contact between two strangers.
