First-date ideas for Santiago
In Santiago it helps to meet halfway rather than in one person's neighbourhood. A place near a transport hub means nobody spends an hour getting there, or getting home.
Staying safe
- Meet in busy public places and tell a friend where you are going.
- Never send money to people you met online.
- Report and block anyone who makes you uncomfortable.
