Keeping Yourself Safe with Basic Self Defense
Paying attention to your personal safety is so important in this day and age. More than ever, meeting people online is fast becoming more and more popular.
It's crucial to have more in your purse than lipstick to help you fight back if you're attacked by a stranger. Just the other day I heard of case where the girl being attacked was protecting the purse itself more than herself. If your purse is clutched to you rather than dangling from a strap, you'll be less likely to have someone try to take it from you.
If someone does either grab or demand your purse, give it to them. It's not worth risking yourself for whatever's in there! If your purse is large or heavy, you may be able to belt someone with it if you need to, but if you hit someone with your purse, don't be a sissy about it pack a wallop that will hopefully knock the guy down and preferably out.
Staying Safe on an "Alone" Date or First Date.
Dating safety is not a joke and everyone can benefit from reading these easy to follow safety procedures, to ensure your well being on or off a date.
1. Use the buddy system. There is safety in numbers. Group dates are less tense not to mention extremely safe.
2. Don't accept blind dates.
3. Never get in a car with someone you don't know. Always "meet" somewhere on the 1st date. It’s less romantic but much safer.
4. Never let a first time date know where you live. Again it sort of puts a damper on the romance but it could save you from stalkings and other unpleasantness.
5. Stay away from secluded beaches and other private "date" spots until you feel comfortable with them. Even if you're in a group, secluded areas are not recommended.
