12 Tips For Dating Safely

There's a nervousness, thrill, and excitement that occurs when meeting a person for the first time face to face. Yet amongst the thrill, remember to always be on your guard when going out on a date with someone you barely know.  Here are 12 tips on dating safety to help you get started:

  1. Arrange to meet him. Don't let him pick you up from your home.

  2. Meet in public places. If possible, double date or go out with a group of people.

  3. Go dutch by paying half of the bill - that way you won't feel under any obligation to return the favor.

  4. Remember that alcohol affects your judgment and decreases your inhibitions - If you are drinking, keep your drink in sight at all times and don't get so drunk that you don't know what you are doing.

  5. Use your own mode of transportation and leave with a full tank of gas.

  6. Don't assume that a man is safe just because he claims to be religious.

  7. Don't let him know where you live. If you want to see him again, arrange a second date and then take it from there.

  8. Avoid secluded areas such as parks.

  9. Listen to your gut. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.  If you haven't met him before and you know at the beginning of the date that something doesn't feel right, then leave immediately.

  10. Always let someone else know where you're going and who you'll be with.  You might even consider arranging a time to call and check in - or - you could arrange to meet up with friends later that night.

  11. Give him your cell phone number instead of your home phone number.  It's always important to keep your guard up when communicating with someone online.  With that in mind, you may want to think of initially giving your cell phone number.  The reason why is because someone armed with your home phone number can go online and easily find out what your home address is!  This can usually be done in less than 20 seconds.  And with your home phone and home address, a person with the wrong intentions can find out a lot more private information about you online.  This is unfortunate, but part of the society we live in today.

  12. Always remain alert.  Even if you're having a blast and the chemistry is great, it's a good idea to remain alert the whole evening. Make sure you have a cell phone on you.

Dating safely is very important. In the initial stages of dating, you are still getting to know someone you know little about.  By creating a safe environment, you're creating a better situation for yourself.
