Use the "Find My Friends" app
This allows you to track where others are in your phone. This may seem a bit like tracking, but if a trusted friend or roommate knows where you are, then if something goes wrong, they can help you. They can also see if you are not where you should be. Or if you are drunk, you need that special friend to help you call a taxi home. It can be never too much when it comes to safety, right?
Go with your expectations of the meeting
This is good in any situation. If you are all in the same direction, whether it is a date, a hook up or something more specific, confirm in advance whether you both agree to it or not. If it is just one night hookup, it is best to agree what you want to do. Then you will know if things are going as you expected. If it is not as you planned, and you will have more confidence and reason to say something or call it stop before things go wrong.
Meeting in the public places
If you are going on a date, it is much easier if you can meet at a bar, restaurant or cinema. However, even if it is not available for you or for that person, it is best to meet them outside the building where they live, or at a local bus stop or train station. This will help you figure out if they are like what they said and want to give you some time to measure who they are before you return to their home. Never go directly to their house, because you don’t know who they are and what they are capable of. The worst scenario, they might be a murderer who kept a body under their bed.
Get ready to say no
When it comes to casual sexual encounters, “no” always means “no”. For people you meet on hook up apps, this also include more things: going back to their place from the bar, drinking outside, going to a sexy place, or just going to a place you don't know. You are not obligated to do what they want, just because you like them in an application. If you are not sure, choose the safest option by refusing them. You just met each other. There is no need to please them to give them what they want. You are both here for pleasure and fun. If you are not having any, just say no right away before you regret it.
