First-Date Safety: The Checklist
What to do before you leave home, what not to do on the date, and why QR confirmation of a meetup makes a profile easier to trust.
ReadMoved to a new city or want a bigger circle of friends? On TonMeet you see people who live nearby, chat and plan a coffee or a walk. Just make it clear in your profile that you are looking for friends.
TonMeet was made to take a chat to a meeting, and a meeting does not have to be romantic: it can be a coffee, a hike or a concert with someone from your city.
It is a dating app, so be clear from the start: write in your profile that you are looking for friends and what you enjoy. That way people who want the same get in touch, and nobody gets disappointed.
Groups are easy to join and hard to really meet someone in.
Three steps from the chat to meeting new people.
In your profile text, say you want to make friends and what you enjoy: the beach, hiking, music, football.
Like profiles from your city or write a letter. Ask early what the person is looking for in the app.
A coffee, a walk or a concert: the date and place are agreed in the chat, with reminders for both.
The list shows who lives nearby, not on the other side of the country.
Photos, age, city and a text about you and what you like to do.
Hear the person before making plans: a short audio in the profile.
Write to someone who seems like good company even before the like is mutual.
A day before and an hour before, you both get a reminder of the plan.
A strange profile or message? Report it with one tap: moderators review it.
Messages, letters, invitations and reminders arrive as TonMeet messages in Telegram. It is easy to make plans and not forget the time.
Yes, and TonMeet works for it too: it is a dating app, but you can look for friends. Write in your profile that you want to make friends, chat with people nearby and make plans in the chat.
Write it in your profile text and repeat it at the start of the conversation. That way people looking for dates know from the beginning.
Yes. Sign-up, the list of people, likes, chats and planning meetups are free. Premium is optional.
In a busy public place: a cafe, a park, the seafront, a concert. The TonMeet city pages have ideas of places.
Profiles are moderated, and any profile or message can be reported. For the first meetup, pick a public place, tell someone you trust and be wary of anyone who asks for money.
TonMeet is for adults 18 and over only.
