- For your own protection, never disclose any personal information that a stranger could use to possibly take advantage of you. It’s not necessary to always use a fake name, but be weary of giving out your address, place of work or other sensitive information.
- We all go on blind dates and an occasional anonymous trick. In most cases things go well (at least safety wise). However, it only takes one incident to put you in harm. Should something happen, you can greatly assist the proper authorities by leaving a log of where you’re traveling or telling a good friend the exact location of your trip. This may seem cumbersome or over-protective, but a few seconds of time is well worth your safety.
- Prior to meeting, be sure to get a photo of your date. Ask as many detailed questions about the picture as possible, including the date it was taken. Save the picture in an accessible place on your computer. You can always erase it later if his psycho rating is extremely low.
- There’s nothing wrong with having a conversation before meeting blindly. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they communicate. You don’t have to be psychic to get a bad feeling after the conversation or to realize that you may not be a good match after all.
Have a blast on your date!
