Lavalife wants you to have fun online and offline. Some common-sense tips can help keep you safe:
Never give out your home phone number as an initial means of contact. Use an e-mail address or cell phone if you can
If you're planning on meeting someone, tell at least two people where you're going, the person's name, their general description, and your expected time home
Always meet someone in a neutral location. Never have them come to your home or place of work to pick you up.
Always meet someone in a public place, such as a restaurant, or a movie theatre.
Always be aware of the personal information you're revealing to a date.
If you meet someone for a date, carry a cellphone with you and make arrangements with a friend to be available for you to call should there be a problem.
Use common sense. If you get a bad "vibe" maybe it's time to end the date.
Your common sense is your best protection! |
