Online Predators
If someone starts talking about sex or does something creepy, you should stop further communication. In addition, you should be very suspicious of anyone who asks you to talk about sexual acts without getting to know you.
Meeting up
If deciding to meet up is a factor, make sure it is in a public place. Additionally, you can take a friend along with you as an extra layer of safety.
