Let’s face it. Whether you like it or not, dating apps have become the main way to meet people nowadays. Apps can be a great and easy way to find a date, however, finding a date off the internet does come with some safety concerns.
Are you talking to someone online? Is the conversation going well? Want to go on a date with them? Here are some safety tips:
Step Number One: Do your due diligence
Are you talking to someone online? Is the conversation going well? Want to go on a date with them? Well, you need to get some information first.
Take their number. Google the number. Usually nothing comes up but in some cases it might. Ask for their social media. If they give you their snap chat then run. Nothing good comes out of that. Once you have their social media check if it looks legitimate.
You might be thinking, but what if they say they don’t have Instagram? Then google them. I always recommend googling. You never know what you might find … I also recommend a nice LinkedIN stalk. Just remember to make sure you’re viewing in private mode.
Step Number Two: planning the date
Are you ready to get some? Make sure that you never go straight to someone’s house for the first time you’re meeting them. Even if you just want a hook-up make sure you meet them somewhere public first. For example, go get a drink or coffee somewhere. If they insist on it being at their house, then bye bye. #safety is sexy
Step Number three: tell a friend
Whenever you are meeting someone off an app you MUST TELL A FRIEND. Make sure you tell your friend the name of the person, send them a photo, and share your location with your friend. Make sure that they check on you. You might think this sounds a bit extreme, but it’s better to be safe! Find my phone is your friend.
Overall, always do some due diligence before meeting someone off an app. And if you feel even a little bit uncertain, or uncomfortable do not go. Your instincts are there for a reason and they are usually right.
