Things To Do Before You Meet For a Date
Make sure you’ve spoken in person on the phone. It is just a reality check that lets you know you are still interested and not doing anything risky for the wrong reason.
Select and propose a venue for the date that is in a public place. Do not agree to any location that you are unsure about as this will naturally make you feel awkward during your first date and is an off signal to give. We’d recommend first date venues like coffee shops, quiet bars anywhere that does not have to much noise and distraction around, after all its about you both getting to know each other.
Suggest that you have limited time for the first date. They will either laugh this off or make a joke about your mum wanting you in bed by a certain time. There is a good reason for doing this, its a safety feature that you are putting in place in case the date goes badly, if the date goes very well then you can just get your second date in sooner rather than later. If its going really well just be honest and tell the truth, you wanted to get to know them a little better and now you’ll really like to spend more time with them. Extending a date is far easier than cutting it short.
What happens if you get stuck anywhere? Well simple, make sure somewhere you’ve kept a little extra cash – just in case you need an emergency taxi ride home.
When you go on your date make sure someone knows where you are going. This is possibly the most important thing you can do. We understand you might not want to tell you parents (no matter how old you are) that you’ve started online dating but a friend really should know. Make sure you send them a message to let them know you’ve arrived at the venue safe, how well its going and also that you are home ok.
Remember safety first. And if you follow the tips above you’ll have given yourself the best opportunities to enjoy your evening.
