Start outside.

When meeting your date for the first time, don’t let him pick you up at home. You don’t know that person that well yet and you have to take into consideration that you might like him after the date. You know little about this person and you don’t know if he’s a criminal of any sort so you have to be extra careful on your first date. You only bring him home after you get to know him better — so better that you have all the reasons in the world to get him home.

The more people, the better.

Never go on a date when the venue is isolated. The best places that you can go are the malls, parks (on a sunny day but not at night), concerts or even in clubs. It might be your dream come true to be invited to a candlelight dinner in his apartment but that might not be a good idea if it’s the first time that you will go out with him. As mouthwatering as it is, you have to avoid being alone with him because you don’t know him that well. You can save being alone with him when you already got to a few dates with him. Of course you have to go to the next level if you get to know him so much better!*wink

No doubt, double date.

If you’re still having doubts, you always have the option to go with another couple. Make sure that you asks him about your idea of a double date. You might want to cancel your date if he refuses to have the date with another couple. It only means that his intentions might not be genuine as you think. If he resists taking your friends with you, you have to think of the reason why he doesn’t want your friends around while you date. Does he have anything in mind that your friends might interfere? Ok, you don’t really have to think. It’s quite logical that if he avoids meeting you with other people then he’s not going to do anything good.

Move on your own.

Although your dream consists of him taking you on a ride in his limousine, you might want to pass on that one.. for now. Get to know him better before you let him take you home or you ride with him in his car. On your first date,try to bring your own ride. This way, you get the excuse from joining him in his. Your date may have went so well that you might consider letting him take you home but people always give their best on first dates. Be a little patient. If he’s genuine, you will get that limousine ride soon.

Warnings About Internet Dating

Internet dating is the trend nowadays. A lot of people are hooked to it, in fact my friends and even some of my co-workers are actually into it. I can even say that they’re obsessed in it. I couldn’t it but i think it’s ridiculous for them to spend every night after work in front of their computer and search for their potential match online.  Look at it this way, why would you spend the night in front of an online list of people when you could go out and meet people face to face?

Don’t get me wrong, Internet dating has already given way for people to meet their partners and they are actually living their lives quite happily. But, with that in mind, you still have to consider the risks involved in Internet dating. Let me lead you through it.

The success rate is low.

Yes there were stories that people were able to meet their soul mates online, but how many were actually successful enough to last in a long term relationship? How many were able to get married and live a life together? How many days, months or years have they spent in Internet dating before they were able to meet their partners? If you analyze it carefully, it actually took them a lot of time before they were able to meet the one they were looking for online. I’m not discouraging you but if the long wait can be frustrating. When you go out and meet other people, its just a matter of weeks or even months of constant dating. You don’t have to keep on spending every night searching through profiles and looking for your match. When you meet him outside, you can immediately get to know him.

You’re genuine but are they?

Everybody can access Internet dating sites and you never know if the person you are attracted to is not the one in the profile photo. Scammers and hackers are scattered everywhere and they lobby mostly in Internet dating sites because they know that beautiful persons are the weakness of the people seeking partners in life. Oh don’t tell me you don’t want to meet that guy with a cute smile? Their profile photo is that only way for you to assess how they look and scammers take advantage of this. They use very attractive photos of innocent people and use this profile to ask money from people. So you have to be very careful when engaging in online dating, you never know if it’s a scammer.
