If you tell someone who you are meeting/ where you are going... For safety...

Do you tell the person you are meeting that someone knows the details of your meet?

Has anyone ever had an issue with this?

I didn't trust them enough to meet without telling someone.

To me that's a sign of someone who isn't trustworthy.

Yes, I always tell my mum and she comes with me to meet the lady first.

If they have a problem with that then I cancel. My safety is paramount

Never felt the need for one as a guy, but have recommended to a number of women that they should at least consider it. Haven’t any problem whatsoever with this, and have had meets where phone calls and texts have been exchanged with safety buddies.

Hiding in the shadows

My best friends, always know where I'm going, who I'm meeting.

We have a 'policy' we follow

I always tell the person I'm meeting. I check in with my friends on arrival, post on our chat group, when leaving & again when I'm home.

They follow me on a tracker.

I've only had 1 person, who was a bit off about it.

Said he felt a bit upset I didn't trust him, my friends 'stalking' us!

I pointed out, I was a woman alone, 40 miles from home, in a pub with technically a complete stranger.

Both of my adult kids know my passwords. If anything happened then it would be clear who I was meeting and when. My motto is always a social meet in a public place first. Only ever had one rough meet and I made an excuse and left. Better safe than dismembered!

I suppose it's slightly different for us being a couple.

If I meet alone, it's only with another lady and always in public, and then Tom knows who, when and where. He's been known to ring to check I'm ok on a couple of occasions seeing as we have been catfished in the past.

I was wondering why not to tell them. If they know their details are held by someone it may make the axe murderer types decide to meet someone else. Maybe.

Perhaps you can find a friend on fab, perhaps another woman, who can act as your safety check-in and vice versa.

I'd have no problems with meeting someone who has to check in with a friend. I'd rather play with someone who feels safe and therefore happy and relaxed.

Another tip from someone on here- have a set pre agreed phrase that you reply with. Something odd like "having a crap time, he smells of cheese!" Then she will know you are ok.

If there's an issue and a nutter forces you to text back a "I'm having a lovely time, don't wait up" type message, she will know something is wrong and get help.

My ex FWB did this,

Safety person knew who and where she'd meet

Check in when she'd arrive

Check in when she'd leave

And funnily enough always meet her afterwards after we meet for a juicy catch-up.

Safety's paramount, good on her for having such arrangement and having people look out for her.

Not at all, but then as I said I "offer" it but most don't accept - but then by the time I suggest meeting someone we usually know each other well enough to have built a level of trust anyway

I always ensure I've spoken to everyone involved before I agree to a meet. I ask all the relevant questions, check veris, before I make up my own mind.

A full address, plus postcode, even the details of any car they might have parked outside their home, are sought and recorded in my Phone and my Diary, the latter left at home as a precaution.

I've only had one meet, though not through this site, which could've turned out seriously nasty!

I'd to rely on my verbal communication and conflict resolution skills to get out of that unscathed.

Yes I do. We look out for each other. Who we're meeting, where, when, geolocate sometimes.

I sometimes tell who I'm meeting.

Everything is very dependent on the who and where.

I don't do last minute meets, or meet many new people these days, so my safety buddy is low on duties.

O have a safety person. My ex husband, i say to him when i used to meet and where and if i hadnt checked in with him with my safeword by a certain time he was to go to my house and look on my desk where the personal details of the person i was meeting was left. That way if i come home safe i can shred the personal details and noone needs to know who he was.

Ellesmere Port

I used to, but it can backfire. I had a lovely social meet with a guy at his place once. No phone signal, so if I'd been due to check in with anyone, I wouldn't have been able to. Years ago, I was doing safety call duty for my ex. It had got a bit weird, with the original address not being where she ended up, so later on, I sent her a couple of questions only she would know the answers to, just in case she was in trouble and someone else was pretending she was okay. She didn't reply as expected.

It all turned out fine in the end, but I came very close to calling the police.

The way I tend to do it these days is to text my other phone, and leave it at home. If I wind up dead in a ditch, the phone is there with my last known location and details of who I was supposed to be meeting on it. And I'd be able to show those messages to someone if things started turning weird.

I think especially as a female to meet a stranger without having someone you trust enough with the details would be foolish and anyone you met would expect you to check in and not be fazed by it if they even notice. Having had a violent stalker myself(not from fab) i would never risk it.
