Hey there, I hope you’re doing great. Now lets talk about planning for a date with someone you do not know well, and have not met before.
Blind dates can be both exciting and stressful, but it’s crucial to prioritize your safety while still enjoying the experience.
To ensure a safe blind date, follow these tips:
- Meet in a public place like a coffee shop. Avoid meeting strangers at their homes. Being in a public place gives you more control and allows you to walk away if you feel uncomfortable.
- Do some online research on your date. Look for their social media profiles and note any peculiar behavior or reputation that you don’t agree with.
Keep your drink close and non-alcoholic. Don’t leave your drink unattended, even if you’re stepping away for a moment.
- Tell at least one friend or family member about your date. Share your date’s picture, contact information, and where you’ll be meeting. Set up a check-in call after a certain duration and let them know tht if you don’t answer, they should contact the authorities.
- Meet at the venue using your own transportation, public transport, or a ride-sharing service like Uber. Don’t let your date pick you up from your house.
- Trust your instincts. If something feels off, excuse yourself and leave the venue. Send a text message if you’re in a place where you’re trapped and cannot leave.
- Refrain from giving personal details like your phone password, house number, credit card details, or the value of your bank account until you’ve built trust with your date.
Remember, your safety comes first, so don’t hesitate to protect yourself.
Best Wishes!
