FEMALES - WHAT TO DO WHEN SOMEONE MAKES CONTACT
- Keep the email correspondence going for a while but remember anyone can say anything in an email.
- Although you have seen photographs or a video and read their profile, you do not know them.
- Don't give out personal details such as your full name, home phone number, or postal address until you have met them.
- If you decide to make a date, never provide personal details such as your address or home telephone number or surname.
- It is possible for postal address details to be obtained through your telephone number and your company through you business email address, so again be very guarded about giving out this information.
- Obtain both a home and work number from the man you are arranging to meet. (as well as their mobile number) and give this information to a close friend. Genuine males will have no problem with providing this information.
- Always arrange to meet in a busy public place that you are familiar with.
- We recommend that you try and make it a lunch date.
- Take a friend with you, (male if possible) to meet your date and ask the friend to meet up with you again at a pre-arranged time. Agree a signal/sign with your friend to indicate whether you would prefer that he or she stay with you.
- If you're not with a friend, tell someone where you are going, who with (include the person's name, phone numbers and address) and when you'll be back.
- Ask them to call you within 20 to 30 minutes to say you are needed back at work or home. If you feel uncomfortable you can make your excuses and leave.
- Don't go home with your date on this first date, invite them back to your home, allow them to walk you to your car or offer or accept a lift. Keep the first date friendly and at arms length.
- Use your common sense. Accept another date only if you feel comfortable. If you don't, decline the offer politely. You don not have to give your reasons.
- Trust your instincts. If you feel uneasy about your date, there may be a reason. If you feel uncomfortable, don't give them your personal details and don't arrange a second meeting.
- Most people who use online dating services are ordinary, genuine and sincere people. Providing you follow our advice, you will have a lot of fun and meet a lot of nice and interesting people.
