Common Safe Dating Tips for Dating On and Off-line

Guard your identity.

Whether you're off on your first blind date set up by a friend or you found your love interest on DesperateAndDateless.com , your personal safety should always be priority No. 1. The following guidelines will help ensure your safety:

Don't share your real name, personal phone numbers, or any other identifying information while emailing until you are comfortable doing so.

Tip: Never post personal contact information in your profile. Don't risk having this information fall into the wrong hands.

Remain anonymous until you feel safe and ready to explore other options.

Tip: If a person provides his or her phone number early in the email exchange, that doesn't obligate you to use it.

Be careful when using a sexy name unless that is what you want to convey.

Use a current picture and be truthful in your description of yourself in your profile. .
Misleading descriptions or photos can result in angry feelings and can end a relationship before it begins.

Keep a record of your conversations.
Remember to save your emails for future reference. DesperateAndDateless.com does not retain copies of your correspondence.

A first meeting with any new love interest can be exciting, and most first meetings are perfectly safe. But it's always smart to take basic precautions. Always trust your instincts. And be sure to keep the following guidelines in mind:

Meet in public.
ALWAYS arrange to rendezvous in a populated, public place. NEVER meet in a private home (or in a hotel room) or in a remote location.

Tell a friend.
Tell at least one friend or family member you are meeting, where you are going and when you expect to return. Let your date know the meeting is not a secret.

Tip: Contact your friend before and after the date or ask your friend to contact you at a predetermined time.

Stay sober.
Refrain from drinking excessively, as it could impair your ability to make good decisions and may put you at risk.

If you have a mobile phone, take it with you on dates.

Tip: Do make sure to be in area where emergency service is available and know the emergency number to call.

Set up a next date - if you are ready and feel comfortable.

DON'T forget to keep family and friends posted.
Always tell someone who you are meeting, where you are going and when you plan to return.

Tip: Let your date know that your whereabouts are not a secret to your friends and family.

Listen to your gut.
