7 Precautions to Take While Dating Online
5. Meet at public places
Never meet him at his place when you have just started knowing him. Not that every person online is a fraud, but just in order to be on the safe side before you are absolutely sure about the person, you should always meet at public places like coffee shops, malls, restaurants or even clubs. Just make sure there are plenty of people around and that no one can take undue advantage of you.
6. Learn self-defense
It is always beneficial to know some self-defense techniques if ever you confront eve teasers or if anyone tries to misbehave with you. Some simple techniques can just be learnt off the internet or you could enroll in a martial arts class. Carry pepper spray to use in cases of emergency. Knowledge about self-defense will go a long way in keeping you safe without being dependent on anybody else.
7. Do not invite him home
And finally, do everything to make sure you do not let him know where you stay. Never invite him to your home or let him walk you home. You must not let him know where your house is at this stage, for you may not know if he has any clandestine motive. Know the person for real first, let the first few meetings be outdoors only and then think about sharing more personal information.
