When you’re getting ready for a date, you pick out the perfect outfit, style your hair, and rehearse how to avoid awkward moments that might pop up during the conversation. But beyond the butterflies and glam, do you ever stop to think about your safety measures?
What if your date gets aggressive or tries to talk you into going someplace, you’re uncomfortable with?
Whether you’re meeting someone from a dating app or being set up by a friend, your personal security should always be the top priority. From social media to real-life stories, we’ve all heard tales of dates gone wrong. So how do you protect yourself while still enjoying the experience?
Let’s break down the top 10 safety tips every woman should know before going on a date. Make sure to send them to your entire girl gang!
Repeat after us: “I don’t get picked up on first dates.”
If you’re meeting someone new, make it a point to use your own car, ride app, or public transport. It gives you full control and keeps your home address private. Until you truly know the person, it’s always wiser to meet at the spot instead of riding together.
You know what’s sexy? Confidence. You know what’s sexier? Carrying a tiny can of “back off, creep.”
If nothing, you can carry at least pepper spray. This one’s a must. It’s legal, cheap, and could buy you critical seconds if things go south. According to security experts, pepper spray disables an attacker for up to an hour. Stay prepared.
Always meet in a well-lit, busy location like a Café, Restaurant, or shopping area. Avoid secluded spots. If someone insists on meeting in private, don’t give in. Your comfort zone matters.
Never accept open drinks. Never leave your drink unattended. Date-rape drugs are often tasteless, odorless, and colorless. So, if you feel woozy or weird, don’t brush it off, ask for help, or leave immediately.
Always trust your intuition. If something feels wrong, it probably is!
Before you meet in person, schedule a quick video chat. It’s the easiest way to confirm the person matches their photos and vibes right.
Pro Tip: Take a screenshot and share it with a friend, just in case
Make sure someone you trust knows the details of your date. Send your live location and let him know:
Even better: set a “check-in” alarm in case you forget to text back!
We’re often taught to “be nice” even when we feel uncomfortable. But safety is more important than social grace.
If something feels off, leave. Immediately. You don’t owe anyone an explanation.
Excuse yourself to the restroom and make a quick call to a friend. Bonus moves? Say this in front of your date:
“Hey! Just checking in. I’m here at [Restaurant] with [Date’s Name]. I’ll ping you when I head home.”
This tells them someone is watching out for you.
You can catch red flags early without risking your safety!
