Choosing a Safe First Meeting Location on Hinge

Pick a public, populated venue you know, rather than accepting their suggestion by default. On Hinge, where the dominant catfish pattern is prompt answers copy-pasted across near-identical duplicate profiles, this applies directly: The venue for a first meeting is one of the few fully controllable variables in an otherwise unverified situation.

Steps

  1. 01

    Suggest the location yourself, or counter-propose if theirs feels off.

  2. 02

    Choose somewhere with staff present and other people around.

  3. 03

    Arrange your own transportation both ways rather than relying on them for a ride.
