You must not only worry about the right hair, makeup and outfit for your first date, you should also be thinking about your personal safety. Whether you meet your date in the corner shop or got to know each other via online ads and other online ways to communicate, it is important to prepare for the date with safety in mind.
Keeping a can of pepper spray or other security item in your purse before the date might be a great idea. You never know what type of person you will be meeting and being prepared can make a difference if things go sour.
Do not disclose where you live to a date, especially until you get to know him better. It is safer for you to maintain your privacy and meet in public. Therefore, for the first few dates be sure to plan public meetings and be sure your date does not follow you home afterward.
If your date move too fast or your date's advances make you feel uncomfortable, you should firmly tell him his behaviour is bothersome. If you feel in danger, be sure to call the authorities or a friend to meet you immediately at the place of your date and refuse to go on another date with this person in the future. It is always a good idea to pre-arrange for a friend to call during the date to ensure you are safe. While it may seem rude to use your phone during the date, it is a good idea for a first date for you to have someone check in with you. Also, remember your gut instincts are usually right about people, so follow them!
Remember, there are many men out there willing to take advantage of single women. So, keep yourself safe and protected by being prepared in advance and while on your date!
