*Trust your instinct when dating,after all it has got you this far in life. *Take your time and choose a reputable dating agency. * Stress to your matchmaker what you want. * Don't take everything at face value. * Do ask lots of questions when chatting. * Ensure you feel comfortable at all times when dating. * If someone is abusive to you, let the dating agency know AT ONCE. * Before agreeing to going dating, check that you know as much as possible
Don't allow yourself to be talked into anything, whatsoever! You are the one in charge. Also consider the following: * Take your time to get to know someone, enjoy the dating * Always meet in a public place that is well known and convenient to you * Always tell a good friend where you are going, and who you are meeting * If possible phone your friend during the date to confirm all is fine
And perhaps consider these points too: * Always carry a cellular phone while dating if you have one * Lunchtimes are good for dating, convenient, and they have a time limit * Always make your own travel arrangements on a date initially * Do not accept a lift home on the first date or reveal your address * If travelling far, organize your own accommodation and confirm it * Ensure you have as much information from your dating agency as possible * Keep your first date to a time limit so that you have an "exit" point * Don't feel you owe it to someone to meet them, you do not!
When we think of safe dating by sets of rules like this it can all get pretty silly and scary but the fact is that you are dating strangers without the company of friends. But whatever you decide is best for you, keep your wits about you and enjoy your date!
