UK dating agencies
directory and guide
- Choose
a safe, neutral spot for your date, just sitting down over coffee, or perhaps a light lunch at a
casual restaurant. Emphasize that your first meeting will be for just that: meeting. Don't expect much more than that you'll sit down,
get used to what the other person looks like, maybe have a bite to eat, then go home.
- For
the male dater, you may want to invite her to bring along a friend. This will
make her feel safer. The point is, make it somewhere public, safe, and neutral, and done in such a way that either one of you can bow out gracefully
if things aren't going well.
 Get
yourself out of a jam. Never do anything you feel unsure about.
If you are in any way afraid of your date, use your best judgment to diffuse the situation and leave. Excuse yourself long enough to call
a friend for advice, ask someone else on the scene for help, or slip out the back door and drive away. If you feel you are in danger call
the police. It's always better to be safe than sorry. Never worry or feel embarrassed about your behavior. Your safety is much more important
than one person's opinion of you.
- And if it doesn't work out, or the other person decides at the last minute
not to meet you, hey, that's fine! It happens to practically everyone. At minimum, you should have made a new friend this way; maybe more will
develop, or maybe it won't. Stay calm, don't expect too much, but be open to whatever might happen.
