A few things worth keeping in mind:
- Reverse image search is your best friend for vetting profile photos quickly.
- Public first meetings are non-negotiable. Coffee shop, bar, food court — somewhere visible.
- Never share your real last name, address, or workplace before meeting someone in person.
- Platforms with active moderation and real reporting tools are worth prioritizing over free-for-all sites.
