Date
Safely
Always
be on your guard when out on
a date with someone you don`t
know or barely know. I'm not
saying that your date is a serial
killer but if you don`t know
the person well you can't be
too trusting. Here are 10 tips
on staying safe.
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. Pay half of the
bill that way you won`t feel
under any obligation to return
the favour.
4.
Remember that alcohol affects
your judgment and lessens your
inhibitions. If you are drinking,
keep your drink in sight at
all times and don`t get too
drunk that you don`t know what
you are doing.
5.
Use your own mode of transportation.
And leave with a full tank.
6.
Don't assume just because a
person claims to be religious
that he's safe
7.
Don`t let him know where you
live. If you do 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. And if you haven't met
him before and you know at the
beginning of the date you aren't
interested 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.
