Online Safety
- Protect Your Personal Information: Never share your full address, financial details, or other sensitive information with someone you just met online.
- Take Your Time: Feel free to chat on Skip before moving the conversation to another platform. Trust your instincts and only share your phone number or social media handles when you feel comfortable.

- Asks for money or financial help
- Tries to pressure you into sharing personal details too soon
- Exhibits aggressive, harassing, or inappropriate behavior
- Sends unsolicited sexual content

In-Person Safety
- Meet in Public: Choose a busy, well-lit location for your first date, such as a coffee shop, restaurant, or park.
- Stay in Control of Your Transportation: Drive yourself, take public transportation, or use a trusted rideshare service to and from the date. Avoid letting your date pick you up or drop you off at your home.
- Let Someone Know Your Plans: Share your date details with a trusted friend or family member, including where you’re going and when you expect to be back.
- Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, don’t hesitate to end the date early. Your comfort and safety come first.
- Keep an Eye on Your Drinks: If you’re consuming alcohol, never leave your drink unattended and be mindful of how much you consume.
After the Date
- Check In with Yourself: Reflect on how you felt during the date. Did you feel respected and comfortable? If anything felt off, trust your gut.
- Set Boundaries: If you're not interested in seeing the person again, be clear and firm in your communication.
- Report Any Issues: If your date made you feel unsafe, report it to Skip immediately so we can take appropriate action.
