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 favor.
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 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 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. 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.
