Meeting In Person

If you’ve been talking with a person and have gotten to feel comfortable with them, you might want to rush right out to meet them in person, but there are a few things you should keep in mind before you do.

Remember, the only way you’ve gotten to know this person is through what they have told you. The only image you have is what photo they’ve posted or through a webcam. We’re not saying they’re being untruthful with you, but you need to keep yourself safe when meeting someone for the first time.

The most important thing is to meet in a public place preferably during the daylight hours. You don’t want to meet a perfect stranger in the dark night where there’s no one else around but you.

Do not have them pick you up at home. Arrange for your own transportation to the agreed upon place. Make sure you have a full tank of gas in the event you need to make a getaway.

Arrive a little earlier than the pre-arranged time so you can take stock of the environment. Take note of where the doors are in case you have to make a quick exit. Also find the nearest pay phone. They’re often by the restrooms.

Perhaps you can meet for coffee in a local café. Try a museum or art gallery for your first date. Go where there’s going to be a lot of people. Bad things are less likely to happen if there’s a crowd around you.

Why not consider a group date? Double dating can ease the anxiety you’re going to feel and make you more at ease. Plus, you won’t be alone with anyone and there will be many more chances of diverse conversation.

Don’t plan to meet up without telling someone where you’re going. Make sure a family member or friend knows what time your meeting is and where it will be. That way if anything should happen, they’ll know where to find you.

Have an exit strategy. If the person makes you feel uneasy or you just plain don’t like them, don’t feel bad about leaving. After all, your safety comes first. If it feels wrong, get out!

Carry a cell phone with you or have plenty of change for a pay phone. Not only can a cell phone be a lifesaver when it comes to getting away from a bad date, you’ll want to be able to communicate with someone if something should go bad.

Never, ever, under any circumstances have them come to your home for your first meeting. While you might have a certain comfort level being in a familiar place, if this turns out to be not what you expected, you won’t have a way to exit and no way to get them to leave aside from force, and we’re pretty sure you don’t want that to happen. Along the same line, don’t meet at their home either.

Stick to public places. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

Don’t meet with someone until you are completely sure you want to. Some people may apply pressure to get together in person, but you have control and shouldn’t do so until you are truly ready.

Once you are on the date, steer the conversation away from overly personal details. Just as if you were chatting online, you’re meeting this person for the first time so try not to reveal specific things about your life. Keep it general – at least for now.

Pay close attention to any displays of violence or sudden outbursts. This could signal emotional problems that you certainly won’t want to deal with. Also be aware of any attempts to control or pressure you. As we said before, you should be comfortable and do only what feels right for YOU.

When you are eating in a restaurant or café, go Dutch. Pay half the bill. That way you won’t feel like you “owe” your date something in return.

If possible, avoid drinking alcohol while on a date. Alcohol could affect your judgment and lessen inhibitions. If you are drinking, keep the drink in your sight all the time. Do not get too drunk. You might not know what might happen later or remember what you have been doing.

Finally, just be alert and trust your own instincts. Try to relax and enjoy this first meeting, but don’t let your guard down too much. Safety is your first concern – for both you and your date.

Now that we’ve addressed the safety issues, you will want to make a good first impression.
