Dr. Dato’s Brief:

Here the article points to the real dangers of meeting someone for the first time on a date and a woman becoming a victim of sexual assault. In truth, the incident could very well happen if the two had met outside of dating for example in a club, restaurant or any other public place.

There are several steps one should take to ensure the safety of the individual whenever you go out for a date with a stranger for the first time. I will go further and add the following;

- Meet in a public place
- Tell someone or friend you can trust where you are going and ask them to call you later in the evening
- Follow your instincts (these are primeval forces in all of us that has protected men and women through the ages)
- Do not give out any of your personal information
- Before you go out on any dates, find out as much as you can about the person, talk to them on the phone

For more information on online dating safety, you can read one of our earlier post here.
