Meeting someone you've been chatting with is an exciting step. A little planning keeps it comfortable and safe for both of you and for your families.

Before you meet

• Chat for a while first. Take time to get to know each other on Bolo Kobul before sharing your phone number or meeting.
• Check the details match. Name, work and family details should be consistent with the profile. If something keeps changing, pause.
• Tell your family or a friend. Share who you're meeting, where and when.
• Consider involving families early. Many families prefer that the first meeting happens with a parent or sibling present.

Choosing the place

• Meet in a busy public place, such as a well-known restaurant or café, during the day.
• Arrange your own transport there and back.
• Avoid private homes, hotel rooms or isolated places for a first meeting.

During the meeting

• Keep your phone charged and with you.
• Don't share bank details, OTP codes, or copies of your NID or passport.
• Trust your instincts. You can leave at any time, without explaining.

Warning signs

• Asking for money, gifts or help with "emergencies".
• Pushing to meet quickly or in private.
• Refusing to involve families, or asking you to keep things secret.
