Meeting up with new people unfortunately has inherent risks.  Although it is not possible to eliminate all inherent risks, you can reduce your risks by taking precautions through safe behaviors. Please consider these safety reminders. 

1. Safety person & plan - Share information about who you are meeting, where you are meeting, what you plan to do and when you plan to be safely home with a designated friend or family member. Ask this designated person to call for help at a certain time if you fail to check in per the plan. *Do not change this plan without updating your safety person. 
2. Safety in numbers - Avoid meeting someone new in an isolated area or private dwelling, especially if the meeting time is at night (when there will be fewer people out and about)
3. Food and drink - Take precautions when accepting food or drink. It is best to take food or drinks directly from a server and not to leave food or drink unattended. (as this could present an opportunity for illicit substances to be added without your knowledge). 
4. Know your limits - The use of mind-altering substances such as drugs or alcohol increases your safety risks. It is advisable not to try unfamiliar substances with unfamiliar persons. 
5. Ask for character references - Do not be afraid to ask mutual friends for their opinion on the person you intend to meet. 
6. Do a little "online stalking"  in advance. Make sure to also check their host rating on Tagalong.
7. Consider driving your own car or meeting at a designated location—avoid being picked up at home.
8. TagTeams - Consider creating a TagTeam with a friend or two for small group activities. 
9. Go with your gut! If you have a bad feeling about a person or situation, safely leave. Do not be afraid to hurt feelings or offend in these cases.
