All online dating sites have some kind of protection, but still, you need to be careful when you use these sites. No one can’t protect you if you don’t protect yourself.
We will bring you some advice on how you can protect yourself.
1. First of all, search for the site that has a great reputation. And before you start to use this site, search what other people say about this site.
2. In case that your potential partner ask money from you or he gives you strange information about him, move on. Probably he just wants to get some money and then he will disappear.
3. Never send any nude pictures or videos to anyone. Sometimes someone can use that for blackmail. And you don’t want that.
4. Don’t give your addressee to anyone. In the first place check geographical settings on the site. Most of the sites will show your general location. But you should not show your address. You never know who can knock on your doors.
5. Try to research your potential match with online research. You can look at so many sites, like Facebook or Instagram. But don’t forget to look at LinkedIn. Here you can get maybe the best information about your match.
6. Before you meet your potential partner, speak with them on your phone. This can give you a better idea of who he is.
7. When you go on a date with a stranger, always go with your car. Don’t let that your date picks up you. In the first place, you don’t want that some stranger knows where you live or work. And in the second place, don’t let that stranger has full control over you.
8. For the first date go to some public place, where you can find a lot of people. This will give you some kind of security that if something goes wrong you will have someone to ask for help.
9. Tell someone from your family or to your friends where are you going, and give them time in which you will send them a message. In this case, they will know if something went in the wrong direction.
10. In some cases, you can tell some of your friends to be in the same area. Like that they can help you in case you need urgent assistance.
11. Finally, when you come on your date, don’t drink too much. You need to have your head clear. In case that you get drunk, you can become vulnerable and you can bring some bad decisions. Not to mention that you need to have your drink always near you. To make sure that nothing suspicious can be added to your drink.
12. Don’t tell to much personal information to your date. Specifically, things like where you work, address or some places where you go on a daily base. All this information is for some later time when you will know each other a little better.
13. Good advice is to carry pepper spray, not only on a date but for sure is good that every woman has one in her bag. You can't know when you will need to use it.
In the end, remember that your safety needs to be your priority. And if you feel at any point that something is not right, just stand up and leave. In most of the cases, your feeling will not lie you.
