Where Should You Meet Your First Online Date?

Be safe not sorry…

As online dating has grown exponentially in the last few years, more and more people are taking to the internet super highway and turning their carefully worded online profiles into real dates. Online dating used to be looked down upon as a domain for crack pots and weirdoes where the only members were nerds looking to date other computer nerds. While this may have once been true, now the online dating world has had countless millions of pounds worth of investment as more and more people are accepting it as a respectable place to meet people.<br/><br/> That being said, the internet is not secure. The dating site you have signed up with probably does not have a vetting process that fully checks the credentials of every individual who has access to your details, though some of the biggest sites do check names against various police registers.<br/><br/> To make sure you are safe if you do agree to meet someone you have met through your dating site, here are a few pieces of advice:<br/><br/> Tell People Where you are Going<br/><br/> Make sure you have a phone with you and that you have told your friends or family where you are going and who with. Tell them that you will phone them at a certain time and that if you do not call, that they should call you. This way you can either have an excuse to leave or your friends will be able to raise the alarm if they can't get hold of you. Some UK dating sites run sating evenings where online members can all meet together. This is one of the cleverest and safest dating innovations created by any of the existing UK dating sites so far.<br/><br/> Meet in a Public Place<br/><br/> By agreeing to meet someone in a busy place when exploring free dating UK, where there are lots of other people, you ensure that if they turn about to be a total freak you are not isolated and alone and can easily get help within seconds if you need it. Of course this doesn't stop them from waiting until you are alone together some time in the future, but it does at least give you a chance of gauging what they are like in person and allows you to decide if you would like to trust them or not in safety. The vast majority of people involved in free online dating UK sites are safe enough though.<br/><br/> Hopefully you will meet your soul mate and start a beautiful relationship, but at least in the beginning by sticking to these simple rules you will be a lot safer.<br/><br/><br/><br/>
