Dating Advice for Single Women: Be Safe
In the old classic of the seventies “Looking for Mr. Goodbar”, the famous Hollywood actress Diane Keaton has given an excellent performance as the heroine who gets killed by a man who she had been dating. Well not many women would want to go on a date after seeing that movie!
Nobody actually likes to talk about the violence that could arise in dating. All of us believe that we can spot an offender or that a woman’s intuition will always tell us when to be careful if there is something is suspicious about our date. Alas this a false notion and many women have suffered violence on dates. On occasions the violence has been reported to be extremely painful.
However that is a thing of the past and there is some good news. Women can now follow a lot of dating advice and safeguard there interests. This advice is specifically for blind dates or people about whom you do not know much. If you are about to date your cousin’s friend whom you have known since years you need not press the panic button. What we are discussing is how to go out safely with someone you meet through an online dating site or a personal advertisement in the websites.
Let your Friends Know About it
Always tell a friend about your date before going out with someone. Tie up with a friend or an associate to call you at some predetermined time at the beginning of your date. The moment your phone rings, tell your friend how things are going well and that you would get back in say a couple of hours or after the date. This acts as a deterrent for any person who might have any wicked ideas as your date would know that there is always some one who is going to check about your whereabouts. Do not for one moment feel shy or awkward about this behavior, as your genuine date will appreciate what you have done clearly reflects your ability to handle your life’s activities
Have your own vehicle
It is extremely advisable to have your own vehicle while going to any date. This is important as your own vehicle offers you freedom of movement instead of depending or being coerced into using your date’s mode of transportation while coming to, or leaving from the date. You should never go to a date on his vehicle but use your own, or take a taxi cab, or ask a relative or friend to drop and pick you up at specific times. A simple precaution as this could save your life or prevent you from any physical assault.
Always carry your cab fare in your purse and you can always say a polite no when your date offers you a lift. You might like to kiss him a good bye or give him a hug but never ever get into a car with him initially. Spend a few more hours of quality time before you can trust him and get into a car with him. By observing a few steps on the advice on dating you will feel quite safe. If you were to ask me i would suggest that you go on group dates or double dates at least to rule out any other minor chance of any unhappy event at your date. There is always safety in numbers – even in dating.
