Online Safety
If they use too many grammar errors, be cautious. I feel it’s disrespectful, but a friend of mine says it is a bad sign that they cannot utilize their education.
Never share personal or financial information with strangers, it should be common sense. Some things are wonderful to share, such as taking paralegal certification courses, but don't let them know where and when.
Don't send or give anyone money either, no matter their excuse.
Don't share too much personal information, including your phone number! If they want to send flowers to your house or work, tell them they can bring them on your date.
If they talk about how much they love you after an inappropriate amount of time, this is the red flag!
Use as much time as you need to chat with this person online. If you feel pressured into doing anything you are uncomfortable with, report them and/or block them.
Offline Safety
Let family or friends know where you are going, when you will meet and when you plan on ending the date. If plans change, let them know too.
Meet in a public place, such as the coffee shop in the mall. Never agree to meet in a remote location where you could put yourself into danger.
Do not drink any type of alcohol on your first date. You want to remain in control of yourself and not make poor judgments.
Stay in control of your way to and from the date. Drive your own car; borrow a friend's, take a taxi or the subway, whatever you need to do so you feel in control of your own ride.
Keep an eye on all of your things, including your drink! You don't want to get slipped a drug, or have your wallet stolen.
Leave alone, even if things feel they are going well. Do not go to the person's home, do not invite them to your home, or allow them to escort you home.
Be prepared with your clothing choices also. There are many more ideas to maintain your personal safety.
