THE RULES
DATING TIP If you join an introduction agency, always talk to two or three FIRST before making an appointment, and ALWAYS ask, how much it will cost, how many introductions are you likely to recieve and what is the MINIMUM number of introductions they will offer or refund your fees.
These notes are aimed at Women but men need to be aware as well. ( most of these precautions would not be necessay with a professional introduction agency as these safeguards would be built into their system) but for casual or internet dating these tips are very important.
Do not give out your surname or address to someone you do not know well. Use a mobile number
Ask if he will Email you a photograph before you meet him leave the photo at home and if he doesn't match his photo be wary.
Tell a friend where you are going, what time you are expected back and phone her, or if you have to leave a message on an answerphone or text to say you're home safe. Leave a note at home before you go out saying where you are going and who with, so a friend could start to find you if you went missing.
Text a friend when you meet a stranger or better still phone her with the details in his presence tell him this is what you and your friend always do on dates " hi I just arrived at the Royal Steakhouse and I am meeting lan he' 6ft dark a nice guy with a beard and a mole on his left ear he has a red Ford Ka reg no 2 BAD. If you don't have anyone to call, call your own answerphone, or message service at work or even pretend to call it is still a deterrent. Make a note of a car registration number and sent a text to a friend.
TRUST YOUR INTUITION if he feels creepy, if you feel uneasy or afraid there's a dam good reason for it. Get somewhere safe and terminate the date. 9 times out of 10 your intuition is ALWAYS RIGHT don't take risks.
Keep your first date light, a coffee, a drink in the city centre and always in a well lit area. Don't get stuck on a long date with someone you are not comfortable with. Never take a person home on a first date or when you do not know who he is where he lives etc.
When you have met someone for second time ask for a home telephone number not just a mobile, (married people will withhold their number and give you lots of reasons not to give it to you.) Ask for a photograph of themselves .
Watch for "spiked drinks" if you feel funny tell him you're ill, call a friend your parents or a taxi, do not let him take you home. You could end up with more than being screwed, or pregnant, he may leave you with VD or aids.
Don't drink too much, stay within your limits it puts you in danger and it can ruin a genuine date anyway. If you are tense or nervous have a glass of wine before you meet to relax but not too much!
Don't lend anyone money that you can't afford never to see again. Some men prey on lonely women and take considerable amounts of money, always with a very plausible reason. Talk to your parents / best friend if he even asks for money for whatever reason.
With long distance relationships don't be sending money for airfares etc 99% of the time it's a scam. Don't wear risque outfits on early dates he may think it an invitation to grope.
Avoid talking about sex on a first date
Always remember until you get to know him he could be a burglar, rapist, thief, child molester, loony, stalker, violent, confident trickster, married, so take precautions. Stay in well lit public places find your own way there and back, We have many horror stories - one women was called over by the driver of a car in a deserted but well lit city centre so he could ask for directions only to be dragged through the window into the car and driven into the country at 70MPH. (she jumped out of a moving car at 60mph was in hospital for weeks but is alive).
Remember the guy could have any range of venereal diseases; including aids don't risk your life. It's Russian roulette it only a matter of time, it's a numbers game with casual partners. Remember you are sleeping with every partner he has slept with and every partner they had slept with.
Providing you take reasonable precautions 99.99% of dates are absolutely safe and an enjoyable experience
Have fun stay safe!
Some internet dating horror stories to avoid:
