Safety on a Date
The old method of dating was to meet people through friends of acquaintances, but with internet dating as the new standard, it’s often that you go on a date with someone whom you only know through the internet. Because communication and interaction through the internet can be at times deceitful, it’s important to be prepared. You should ensure that a friend or family member knows where you are going, and when you will return. It is also wise to buy pepper spray or pepper gel if you don’t happen to own some already.
Should you encounter a situation which makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t debate about social niceties, leave right away without informing your date if necessary. There are other fish in the sea, and keeping yourself safe is the most important.
