Tips

Easy & Safe Ways to Start Dating

Get to know the other person before meeting them offline
Use the technology on FitForLifeSingles.com that protects your anonymity to get to know someone before disclosing personal information or meeting in person. We don’t conduct criminal background checks on our users, so if you would like more information about someone, we recommend using the Internet and government resources available to everyone. This can include typing the person’s name into a search engine, reviewing public information made available by government offices, or using a paid service to obtain a full background report.

Always meet in public
Meet for the first time in a populated, public location – never in a private or remote location, and never at your date’s home or apartment.

Stay in a public place
It is best not to go back to your date’s home or bring them back to yours on the first date.  If your date pressures you, end the date and leave at once.

Tell a friend
Inform a friend or family member of your plans and when and where you’re going.  If you own a mobile phone, make sure you have it with you.

Stay sober
Keep a clear mind and avoid doing anything that would impair your judgment and cause you to make a decision you could regret.

Drive yourself to and from the first meeting
Just in case things don’t work out, you need to be in control of your own ride – even if you take a taxi.

Keep personal items with you at all times
You don’t want to risk having personal information stolen.  If you’re drinking, keep your drink with you at all times so it can’t be tampered with.

Long Distance Meetings
Long distance meetings pose special safety concerns to take into account. Keep these tips in mind.
