Dating

From the moment you start dating, you quickly become aware that dating isn’t all candy and flowers. There are safety issues to be aware of. You are hte person that you have to look out for, so make sure to take these safety precautions before you go on a date with someone, especially if you and this person are newly dating. As much as you never want to think about the worst happening, it’s better to be safe then sorry. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that something couldn’t happen to you. Have a great time and have fun, but your safety should be your number one concern.

Tell someone where you’re going and who you’re going with.

It doesn’t matter if you’re 17 or 27, should you not show up back home there needs to be someone reliable that knows who you were last with and where you were supposed to be.

Don’t drink excessively.

WHen you drink excessively you lose your inhibitions. Being on a date alone with someone that you barely know isn’t a good time for this to happen. You need all of your wits about you and drinking excessively doesn’t help that.

If you’re uncomfortable, say so.

Sounds simple enough, right? Well some people just don’t do it out of fear of embarassing themselves or the other person or they have the mindset that they could be overthinking a situation. There is no reason why you should feel uncomfortable on a date. It doesn’t matteri f you feel insulted, if you were touched inappropriately or anything else that just doesn’t sit right with you, you need to tell the person that is putting you in this position that you don’t feel comfortable. Make your voice heard.

Go to and stick to public places.

When you’re newly dating, you could feel like you know this person extremely well, but you still don’t. Stick to public places for dates while you’re newly dating. Give it more time before you start going somewhere private.
