The 12 Rules That Matters To Your Dating Safety The Most

There Are Many Things You Can Do To Make You Feel Safe When Going Out With Someone For The First Time.

You Can Find A Couple Of The Rules Below In The FAQ-Section On The Dating Website As Well.

I Think That These 12 Rules That I Selected Are The Best Of Them:

1. Before You Go Out On A Date, Call Eachother and Talk For A While. It Doesn’t Matter If You Are Talking Through A Video Chat On The Dating Website Or Are Using An Old-Fashioned Phone Call. Both Are Equally Good Because Then You Will Be Able To Hear The Person’s Voice.
2. Let Your Friends Know That You Are Going Out On A Date. Try To Give Them the Contact Information To That Person and The Location Of The Place Where You Will Have Your Date, So They Know Where To Find You If They Need To.
3. Don’t Just Let One Friend Know. By Passing The Information To More Than One Friend, You Might Have A Chance To Get A Lift Home For Free After The Date, Even If The First Friend Doesn’t Show Up. It Is Also A Kind Of “Safety Net” For You To Know That A Couple Of Your Friends Knows Where You Will Be and Are Standing By To Assist You In Every Possible Way, If and When You Are Going To Need It.
4. Bring A Friend With You To The Place Where You Will Have A Date. Let Your Friend Sit A Couple Of Tables Away From You and Your Date So They Might Monitor What Happens.
5. Giving Away Too Much Information About Yourself. If The Person Wants To Know Your Phone Number, That Is Good, and I Strongly Recommend That You Exchange Phone Numbers. If A Person Wants To Know A Lot Of Details, Like What You Do For A Living and How Much Money You Earn, That Is Not Something You Should Give. Also, Be Aware If They Ask You To Borrow Money For Whatever Reason It Might Be. It Should Raise Suspicion In You Since It Is Never Okay To Ask A Stranger For Money. You Might Be Tricked and Lose Money At The End Since This Is A Very Typical Approach By The Scammers Who, Unfortunately, Lurks Around All Kinds Of Different Dating Websites Today. You Can Find A Comprehensive List Of What Kind Of Information I Think Is Okay To Share Here.
6. Make Sure That You Use Your Own Way To Get To The Place. Don’t Let Your Date Pick You Up. It’s Not A Good Idea If You Are On A First Date. The Same Is True When You Leave, You Should Both Go Your Separate Ways When The Date Is Finished.
7. Bringing Some Extra Money Could Also Be A Best Practice Since You Might Need To Take The Cab Or A Bus Home If You Have Been Drinking Alcohol. Do Not Never Ever Drink and Then Drive, No Matter How Far Away Or Close You Are To Your Home.
8. Meet In A Public Place. Don’t Allow A Stranger To Get Into Your Home On The First Date For Whatever Reason. Keep Your Private Home Private For Now. If Things Goes Well Between The Two Of You, Maybe On The Third, Fourth, Or Fifth Date, It Would Be A Good Idea To Invite Your Date Into Your Home But Never On The First and Not Even On The Second Date Either!
9. Watch Out, So That Nothing Is Slipped Into Your Drinks Or Food When You Are Not Around. Unfortunately, some People Tries To Drug You For Different Reasons. The Means Can Be Rohypnol, Antihistamine, GHB, or Other Illegal Substances, Depending On What They Want To Do To You. Try Not To Leave Your Drinks and Food Unattended, If You Have To, Order A New Drink, To Be On The Safe Side.
10. Defend Yourself If Necessary. Having a close friend is good, but you might need to defend yourself if your date attacks you for obvious reasons. A Very Quick Move Both Men and Women Can Use (and Is Not Illegal In Any Country, According To My Knowledge) Is To Put Your Thumb Below The Adam’s Apple (or The Larynx On Women) and Press It In The Little Cavity You Will Feel Then. It Will Make Your Date Feel Uncomfortable For A Couple Of Seconds, Giving You A Chance To Get Some Distance Between You and Your Date. If Necessary, Ask The Staff To Call The Police Or Leave.
11. Whatever You Do: Do Not Lie. Misrepresenting Yourself By Sharing Photos Or Videos and Saying That It Is You When In Fact, It’s Somebody Else Is Never Okay! Being Honest Is Key In Life and Dating. If You Lie, You Might Upset Your Date, and Then It Would Be For No Good Reason.
12. The Last Piece of Advice: Trust Your Instincts. If Something Or Someone Sounds Too Good To Be True, The Thing Or Person Often Will Turn Out To Be That Too. It Is Something I Learned Is True, Not Just In Dating But Life In General. So To Summarize It: Trust Your Gut Feeling!
