Monday, December 1st, 200810 Things You Should Never Say To A Guy On The First Date
Monday, August 11th, 2008Following on from the 10 things that you should never say to a girl on the first date, we’ve got to fill the ladies in on protecting themselves as far as possible against rejection. Not only do guys have to watch what they say but girls do too. If a guy feels that he’s being insulted on the first date then he isn’t going to want to see you again.
In some ways, guys are more sensitive than girls. Although girls won’t like a guy that waxes lyrical about his ex or his mum, a guy won’t like any phrases that attack his masculinity or looks. Check out the 10 things not to say to a guy on the first date below:
- For some reason you’re thinner than I remembered you!
- I like feminine looking guys
- You call those muscles?
- Wow, check him out!
- My ex says…
- I want to get married in the next year or so.
- My ex was a bouncer/security guard/professional wrestler/policeman etc
- I’m very independent and don’t need looking after by anyone, especially a guy.
- I don’t do sex, not until after I’m married.
- I can’t wait to settle down and have lots of kids.
Now if you stay away from those phrases on your first date, or variations of them, then you’ll be absolutely fine!
Ensuring Your Safety With Online Dating Sites
Thursday, July 17th, 2008The world is hardly a safe place to live in at the moment. With all sorts of violent crimes happening on a daily basis, the news is always full of rapes, fraud and attacks. This is hardly painting a great picture but you do hear of plenty of problems, especially as some of them are linked to online dating sites. However, not all online dating sites are unsafe, and you can help to protect yourself as well.
You should only ever use secure online dating sites. Those that offer assurances and are backed up by secure payment systems are always the best option. You can check this in the information given on the site itself as well as via the payment system. For example, the web address of the online dating site will be displayed as beginning with https:// rather than http://. There will also be a small lock appear in the frame of your browser. This ensures that your payment details will remain secure. In terms of your own personal details, good dating sites will ask you for your details in order to verify that you are in fact human but will also allow you to choose what you reveal and what you do not.
You can also guard your personal details when using online dating sites by following these suggestions:
- Never reveal your phone number – This is a recipe for disaster and plenty of crank calls. The safest way to communicate when online dating is via the site itself or via email. Never give your number to someone until after you meet him or her for the first time.
- Never reveal where you live – Again, this is a recipe for disaster. When you do arrange a date, both of you should make arrangements to get there yourself. As such, you have no need to reveal your home address until you get to know your date well.
- Choose your picture very carefully – It should not reveal anything about you or your home. You should not feature any expensive personal possessions, the outside of your home, your car number plate or anything else that could make you a target. Online dating pictures may be seen by thousands so play it safe.
- Never divulge your daily routine or a specific work location – Stalkers and potential attackers may well target people that they have found via online dating as a result of their workplace or places that are part of a daily routine (the gym for example). Do not reveal this information. Of course, this only happens in a minority of cases but the risk just is not worth it.
- Always meet in a busy and public location – This is just basic offline and online dating safety. You do not know anything about your date when you meet them other than what they he or she has told you so just be careful. Your well being is the most important thing.
