Take Your Time — Do Not Rush Into an Offline Meeting

Before agreeing to meet someone in person, make sure you:

• Have spoken to them multiple times on Fruzo.

• Have seen their real face on video chat.

• Feel reasonably confident about who they are and what they want.

If someone:

• Refuses to turn on their camera,

• Avoids showing their face clearly, or

• Pressures you to meet quickly,

treat that as a warning sign. Rushing offline can indicate dishonest or unsafe intentions.

Tell Friends or Family Where You’re Going

Always let at least one trusted person know:

• Who you are meeting

• When you are meeting

• Where the meeting will take place

If plans change locations or timing, send an update. Make sure your phone is fully charged before leaving home, and keep it accessible throughout the meeting.

Choose a Public, Familiar Location

Your first offline meeting should always take place:

• In a public area

• With good lighting

• With other people nearby

• Preferably somewhere familiar to you

Avoid meeting:

• At someone’s home

• At your home

• In remote or isolated areas

• In private spaces like hotel rooms or parked cars

Public settings reduce risk and give you more control.

Arrange Your Own Transportation

For your safety:

• Do not accept rides from the person you’re meeting.

• Do not share your home address.

• Do not get into their vehicle, even if they insist it’s safe.

Use your own transportation:

• Your car

• A taxi or rideshare

• Public transport

This ensures you can leave at any time, without relying on them.

Be Mindful With Alcohol or Substances

Excessive drinking or anything that affects your clarity can lower your ability to make safe decisions.

• Know your personal limits.

• Do not let anyone pressure you into drinking or using any substance.

• If you feel pressured or uncomfortable, end the meeting immediately.

• If a drink tastes unusual, leave it untouched and prioritize your safety.

Keep Your Belongings With You

Stay aware of your personal items, especially:

• Phone

• Wallet

• Purse or bag

• Keys

Never leave your belongings unattended, even for a moment.

Ask for Help if You Feel Unsafe

If at any point during the meeting you feel uncomfortable:

• Move to a public area

• Call a friend or family member

• Ask staff or nearby people for help

• Leave immediately

If you believe you are in danger, contact local authorities or emergency services right away.

You Can End the Meeting at Any Time

You never need a reason to leave. If you feel uneasy, pressured, or simply change your mind, you are allowed to walk away at any moment. Your safety and comfort come first, always.

If you have a troubling or unsafe offline interaction with someone you met on Fruzo:

• Report their profile as soon as possible

• Block the user to prevent further contact

• If necessary, submit a detailed request to our support team
