First-date ideas for Medan

Big cities make it easy to keep a first date short and neutral. Meet at a coffee place in a busy area, and if it goes well, walk somewhere nearby instead of planning a whole evening.

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.
