ONLINE DATING SAFETY TIPS

12 Tips For Safe Online Dating for Women

You are just about to meet this guy you've been talking to online and you are SO excited! Don't let your excitement make you forget that the MOST important thing you can do is be safe! Here are some dating safety tips to help get you started:

1. Make arrangements to meet in a public place for your first date. Remember, don't give out your home address. Just because a guy seems nice while chatting online, does not mean you should trust him enough to give out your home address. That just is not safe!

2. ALWAYS meet in public places. For safety's sake always meet where there will be other people around. You may also want to consider going out with a group of people, or a double date.

3. Never give your home phone number out. It's ok to give your cell phone number, but your home number can easily be used online with a Reverse Phone Number search to find out your home address. That just is not safe.

4. Consider going dutch for this first date. Even if the man offers to pay, don't let him on this first meeting. He may well just be a genuinely nice guy, but unfortunately, there are those men who can just ruin your whole date by making you feel as though you "owe" them something just because they paid for your dinner or movie. Paying your own way, releases you from even thinking about feeling like you "owe" anyone anything. Once you get to know him better, then let him pay if you want!

5. Avoid alcohol on your first date at all costs! We all know that when we've had a few drinks, we get a little "looser" than we really want to and that can be a HUGE mistake. If this is Mr. Right, you may well have ruined it by getting drunk and going further with a stranger than you know you should. If this is Mr. Wrong, you may well find yourself being very badly hurt or worse if you drink and lose your good judgement.

6. LISTEN TO YOUR GUT FEELINGS! If something about this guy makes you uneasy, nervous, or you just feel something is not right, then leave immediately. You can do this in a nice way, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

7. Always drive yourself to this first meeting or two. Don't allow him to pick you up because if you do, you may very well be putting yourself in a dangerous situation and/or being stuck in a car with someone you may not even like in person. It's just not worth the risk. Even if your new biker friend, wants to take you for a ride on his bike, don't do it yet. If he is a good guy, he will totally understand!

8. Never make assumptions about someone you are meeting the first time, no matter how long you have been talking online or on the phone. Many women have been fooled by a man who claims to be religious or who seems so kind online or the phone, but when you meet for the first time, he may well be hoping that you place 100% trust in him. Don't do it! You don't know this guy yet and the risk just is not worth it.

9. Remember, don't let him know where you live. Wait until your 2nd or even 3rd date before you disclose that information. Keep your mind open and see if you get any bad vibes about him.

10. Avoid any dark and secluded areas. Remember to always be in public with others around in case you should become uneasy. If he is a true gentleman, he will totally understand your feelings.

11. Make sure you always let someone know where you are going to meet your date at, tell them what time you are expecting to be home, even have them call and check on your during your date and you can have some code word ready to let your friend know if things are going good or bad. Never just go on a first date and not have anyone know where you are. That could be a disaster.

12. Remain alert during this first date. Even if you are having the time of your life and the chemistry is awesome, don't let your heart overrule your mind. If this guy is the ONE for you, then he will still be the one for you in the weeks to come. You just need to keep your wits about you. Keep your cell phone turned on and ready to use at a moments notice should things take a turn for the worse. Safety first!

Remember, dating should be fun and exciting. You can keep it that way even while using caution and keeping yourself safe. There is no need to feel you have to be "cool" and do whatever it is that this guy wants you to do. Remember, if he is the ONE, he won't mind waiting until you are comfortable enough to let him know more about you. He'll respect you for it and more importantly, you'll respect yourself. Bikers are not all "tough guys". Sure, all guys want to get intimate if you allow them to, but they will respect you more if you respect yourself. Yes, even in 2008 and beyond!
