subject: More Tips For Online Dating [print this page] Here are your newly comprised list of 12 safety dating tips to help you get started:
Your first step is to arrange to meet him.
When your first meeting happens for the first time, you should never allow your date to pick you up from your home. Your date shouldnt know any of this public private information yet so dont tell your date it. Just arrange to meet him at a local shop or something like that.
Second, ALWAYS meet in public places.
Again, for your first meeting you should always meet in a public place where theres people nearby or in the basic area. Possibly even consider a double date for people being closer. The reason for this is because if something WERE to happen, youll have people nearby to help.
Thirdly, Go dutch and pay half the bill.
Its usually the males job to pay the bill, and I strongly suggest males should, BUT theres always the type of man that may say you owe him something in return for paying the bill. If your man is one that would do that, just go dutch and pay half the bill so you wont feel like you owe him something and he wont be able to use the bill as the source to say that.
Fourth, remember alcohol affects your judgment and makes you easy.
The worse thing a person can do on a date is effect their judgment or make themselves an easy target on a date by getting drunk. You shouldnt ever drink, and more so on a date. If you need to then keep your drink in sight at all times. But I strongly stress avoiding it altogether, or more so on the first date. Protect yourself from anything that may happen.
Get yourself home.
No matter what, provide your own transportation to where you are going to meet your date and make sure you provide yourself a ride to get home as well. If the date wants they can pay for the taxi but never let them come to your house on the first date. Ever.
Dont always assume everyone you talk to online is 100% safe.
Dont let your guard down ever during a date. Its very important that you do so, more so on your first date. Never ever assume everyone you talk to online is the safest in the world because you typed with them. Just shows they are good at typing.
As a few others stressed, dont let them know where you live, yet.
As Ive said a few times now, never let them know where you live. If you want to see them again then you should ARRANGE a second date, if it works out, maybe its time to share addresses.
Avoid the secluded areas.
As mentioned before, stay in public places for your own safety. Always avoid secluded areas. No matter how much they may urge you, never accept a walk or date in a secluded area. Its for your own good.
Listen to your instincts.
If something ends up not feeling right, it may just be because somethings not right. And more so if you never met the guy before, if something doesnt feel right then you should just leave, call them and say you couldnt make it, something came up. Your safety is more important at the moment so dont worry about hurting their feelings at the moment.
Always tell other people where you are going and with who.
One of the biggest mistakes people make is NOT tell friends or family where they are going and with who. So be sure someone knows where you are going and who youll be with. You should even consider a call in time where you or them call you to make sure things are alright. And I would suggest having them come to pick you up 10 minutes early.
Give him your cell phone number, never your home phone.
Its always safer to give out your cell phone number, not your home phone, reason for this is because, one, other people may be living with you and may need the phone too, and two, there ARE websites that tracks the home of the phone number you type in.
Always remains alert, stay on guard.
Even if when you were online and off your chemistry was off the roof. Having a great time and enjoying yourselves. Its always a good time to stay alert. I dont care if they seem like the nicest people alive, STAY ALERT it can save you some day. And always make sure you have a cell phone on you.
Dating safely, is of course, a very important aspect to dating. In the beginning of dating offline and online dating you are getting to know this person that you really know close to nothing about. You can only trust their words and hope they are telling the truth. So by creating a safe environment for yourself and your date so you can safely get to know this person if the best situation you can make for yourself. Good luck and enjoy your date.
