Safe Dating Tips
SafetyTips
Setting up a new email account for your online dating, this
account
should be separate from all personal and work accounts. That way you'll
keep track of online dating communication and be able to easily isolate
any unwanted or inappropriate content. Make sure your real name isn't
included in your email address and check that any signatures are
switched off.
Remember you should have fun online and offline. Some
common sense tips can help keep you safe.
Never give out your home phone number as means of contact. Use
an
e-mail address or cell phone.
If you're planning on meeting someone, tell at least two
people where
you're going, give your contact the person's name, their general
description, and your expected time to return home.
Always meet someone in a location. Never have them come to your home or
place of work to pick you up.
Always meet someone in a public place, such as a restaurant,coffee shop
or a movie theatre.
Always be aware of the personal information you're revealing to a date.
If you meet someone for a date, carry a cellphone with you and make
arrangements with a friend to be available for you to call should there
be a problem.
Use common sense. If you get any bad "vibes" or feel that there are too
many personal questions being asked, maybe it's time to end the date.
Your common sense is your best protection!
