After meeting a new guy online, you go out for a first date and he seems wonderful. You are definitely ready for a second date. But how do you know he is not a sex offender or any kind of person you really don’t want to be around? Although many dating sites have implanted screening services and have limited those registered as a national sex offender from signing up with their site, you still should be safe and know a little bit more about the person you will be going out with. Here are a few tips to stay safe. Do you own background check. Just simply Google his name. You can find much about the person by looking at what sites he is registered on, his social networking profile, even if he is registered as a sex offender. Let him know that others know where you are. He should know that you haven’t snuck out to meet him. Let him know that you told your relatives or friends where the date is happening, but you can do it in a polite way. For example, say “oh yeah, I told my sister the name and address as well as phone number of this restaurant in case of an emergency or if she needs to contact me”. Tell your friends about him. Listen to your friend’s and family’s advice first before going out. Give them his phone number and information as well. Also, listen to your own gut. If your intuition is telling you this guy is no good or you are getting a bad vibe from him, then be aware and try staying away. If you ask to meet in a public place and he gets defensive and says “what, don’t you trust me?” then you should immediately stay away from him. Verify his honesty. If he is employed, get his work number so you can verify his honesty and it will put your mind at ease a bit. This might seem like stalking or even embarrassing, but remember, these are precautions. You don’t know how you are going out with so by doing these precautions, you will be able to stay safe and enjoy your time with your potential date. Read more…
