Tessa Murphy put it better than I'd have. nobody warns you that stay safe depends so heavily on the trust question. How careful to be is what separates a good week from a wasted one with stay safe.
What decided it for me with stay safe was staying sensible about it.
Anyone got a counterexample on stay safe? Your mileage on stay safe during anonymous sexting will vary, but that is the pattern I saw.
My checklist for stay safe:
- meet somewhere public and busy the first time when it comes to stay safe
- set aside a couple of weekends before deciding anything about stay safe
- leave two weeks before deciding anything about stay safe
- budget three weeks before deciding anything about stay safe
That list is where I would start again with stay safe.
