Online Dating Safety

We have all heard the story on the news about a person who decided to meet up with

another individual they had chatted with online,and the date has soured and ended in a bad situation.These occurrences are abnormal and rare when it comes to online dating, but here are a few tips to make sure that your online dating experience is fun and safe.

Make sure to trust your instinct.If you have a gut feeling that something may not be right about the other person,always stick with your instinct.You should always feel comfortable with whoever you are chatting with.If someone is abusive or acts strangely,you should block them immediately. There are plenty of other personal ads to look through,so take your time and view a good number of them.

Before agreeing to a date,make sure you know as much as possible about this person.Never publish your phone number or email address in personal ads. Additionally,don't provide your home or work address to anyone you have not met. Don't allow yourself to be talked into anything at all and remember,you are the one in charge!

Take your time to get to know someone.Dont be pressured or rushed.A patient person will be happy to wait until you are ready to meet. Chat on the phone for a while before arranging a date to get to know each other on a more indepth level.

When it comes to the actual date, there are a few things to keep in mind. Always meet in a public place that is well known and convenient to you. You will want to tell a friend where you are going and who you are meeting. Always carry a cell phone on a date, and if possible, phone your friend during the date to confirm that everything is fine or get your friend to phone you mid date.

Try to meet at lunchtime,which is a convenient and acceptable time,and have a time limit. Make your own travel arrangements.Don't accept a ride home on the first date or reveal your address. Keep the date to a time limit so that you have an 'exit' point. This way, if you're feeling uncomfortable, you can politely leave.

Ensure you plan for the date with safety and security in mind to ensure that your safety is priority from strt to finish
