Dating safety tips
After reading this VERY carefully please send it on to everyone you know…put it on your blogs…send it IM…send it via email and even tell your family and friends verbally… I want everyone to remain safe and healthy so please read these carefully and take heed when speaking to people online. If you do decide to meet people online please do the following so it is at least a safer meeting for all of you:
1. Meet in a VERY public place. The brighter the better. People are less inclined to try anything if there is a good chance they will get caught. People who are really wanting to meet you and are safe will not take offense to meeting in this type of area. If the person you are meeting gets upset at the suggestions then do not meet them.
2. If you feel it is not a safe meeting area take a friend with you. Do not allow yourself to get roped into doing anything or going anywhere that might make you feel uncomfortable. You must feel safe in whatever venue you decide to meet them in.
3. Pick a place you know well…preferably where the people there know you well. If you have someone who knows you make sure they meet the person so if there is a problem they can describe the person you were with. DO NOT meet in hotels even if the reson you are meeting is sexual…meet in public first and talk a little while…if it is going to happen it still will but you have then covered all your bases to make it a safer experience for both of you.
4. Get any information you can before you meet. If possible get phone numbers, email addresses, and if at all possible a picture of them before the meet so you know who you are looking for and so that there is a picture of the person you are seeing available if there is any problems. Make sure someone you trust has access to the information and send it via email to someone that you trust.
5. Talk to people you trust and give any information you can. If you do meet with a man and they mistreat you please let someone know so this does not escalate and become a situation like those you are about to read about.
Please just understand that I am not trying to tell you what to do I just want you to be safe and find new friends. People are not all bad we just must be careful and watch out for ourselves and those we love.
