Coffee After Workis about moving from a screen to a real coffee date. When you're both comfortable, here's how to plan to meet.
Date Places
Stuck on where to go? The Date Places section gives you ideas for good spots to meet for a relaxed first coffee, so you can suggest somewhere without the back-and-forth.
Take it at your own pace
There's no rush. Get to know someone in chat first, reveal photos when you're both ready, and only meet up when you feel comfortable. See Messaging your matches.
Meet safely
For your first meeting, choose a public place, tell a friend where you're going, and arrange your own transport so you can leave whenever you want. Read our full safety tips before you go.
