Photography deserves specific mention. Casual group photos circulate quickly and are difficult to retract. Asking before posting is widely described as a baseline courtesy rather than an unusual request.
| Safety=The relevant considerations here are about awareness rather than procedure. Public settings offer a degree of built-in safety for first meetings — the presence of other people, easy exit, no dependence on a host's premises — which is why they are so frequently recommended for early encounters. That advantage is real but not absolute; it reduces certain risks without eliminating the need for judgement.
