How to overcome online dating problems
It is exciting to meet in real life someone you have only met at an online dating service. However, you must practice cautionary measures so as to avoid having problems. The following are some guidelines to worry-free dating.
1. When meeting, do make arrangements first. Since you barely know the person, do not let them meet you at your home.
2. Meet in public places. If it is okay with your date, you could ask another pair or some friends to go with you. If your date is genuine in his or her interests, this shouldn’t be a problem.
3. If you are having a lunch or dinner in a café or restaurant, you should pay half of the bill. Thus, you are free from obligations that you have to meet the person again.
4. If you have your own car, you should use it. Do not rely on a date’s car so that you won’t feel that you have to ride with him or her if the date turns awry.
5. Try to avoid alcoholic drinks dring your time together.
6. If you plan to meet your date the second time, evaluate if he or she deserves to know your personal home address. Never give your address when meeting the person the first time.
7. Do not go to secluded and dimly-lit areas at night. Try to stay in crowded places if possible.
8. Listen to your intuition. If something doesn’t feel right, then assess it immediately. It may be best that you thank your date and leave as soon as possible. Don't be afraid to do so.
9. For safety's sake, tell a friend your date’s contact details and plans for the date and get them to check up on you both during the date and afterwards.
11. Remember: Never give your personal contact information to someone you barely know. They should understand this and agree, at least on your first date.
12. Be alert at all times.
Like traditional dating, online dating has some risks, including safety concerns. To avoid having problems in your online dating, just remember the tips above.
