• Never make the first date a home date. Don’t give out your address or phone number till you are quite sure of the person you are meeting.
• If you can arrange it, make your first meeting s double date or a group date. You can ask a friend to tag along, or ask our date to bring some friends along as well.
• Drive yourself, and if you don’t, or can’t, be sure to take a taxi. Do not allow your date to drive you anywhere.
• Do not consume too much alcohol on your date. It is imperative that you re sober enough to judge your date, and be alert about your own safety at the same time. You need to listen carefully to the other person, and this can be done only when sober.
• Inform someone close of your whereabouts and give them contact numbers where they can reach you. Once you’re home let these aides know you’re home safe, to prevent them from worrying unnecessarily all night long.
• Inform your friends about everything you know about the person you are meeting.

Although these tips may make online dating seem like a frightening prospective, it isn’t all that bad. You just need to be careful. The next time you need someone to cheer you up when you’re feeling down and out, go visit one of the online dating sites and search for a partner. For all you know, you may just find the answer to the eternal question – “where art thou, Romeo?”
