Meet in a busy public place, arrange independent transportation, tell someone you trust the plan, protect personal information, and leave whenever you feel uncomfortable.
Start with a public place
Confirm the exact venue and time, share the details, and avoid changing to a private location under pressure.
- Choose a staffed, well-reviewed venue
- Check opening hours and transport before you go
- Avoid private homes for a first meeting
- Have a simple way to leave
Share the plan
Tell a trusted person who you are meeting, where, and when. A confirmed RTM request can be shared with a friend for this purpose.
Trust what you notice
RTM does not verify identity or guarantee the safety of an offline meeting. Be cautious with money requests, keep personal data private, and end the meeting if anything feels wrong.
Common questions
Does a public place guarantee safety?
No. It is one useful precaution, not a guarantee. Keep control of transportation and communication too.
What should I do if a request is inappropriate?
Do not engage. Decline it and use Report this Meet Request so it can be reviewed.
Turn the advice into a clear plan
Choose one public place, offer up to three times, and share a private Meet Request. The recipient can choose what works without another long scheduling thread.
