Earlier today I had to take one of those phone calls that always saddens me to take.\u00a0 A VIP<\/a> client of mine was on a date, and well, let’s just say things didn’t go as planned.\u00a0 .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her date was rude, made perverted comments, and looked nothing like his pictures.\u00a0 As much as I wish these types of situations could be prevented completely, sometimes bad dates are\u00a0inevitable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Online dating is a numbers game and as the saying goes, sometimes you have to meet a bunch of frogs before find a prince.\u00a0 \u00a0Okay, that\u2019s not\u00a0exactly<\/em>\u00a0the saying.\u00a0 But you get the idea!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And while bad dates can never be completely avoided, there are some actions you could take to minimize your chances of having a 1st date from hell.\u00a0 Let’s take a look at some measures you can implement into your dating life right now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Always set a time limit before meeting in person.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Drinks at 7 sounds great.\u00a0 Just so you know though, I can only meet for about an hour, I have to help a friend out with something after, but looking forward to meeting you!”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may have the entire night free, but your date doesn’t have to know that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By creating a time constraint prior to meeting, you have limited the total amount of\u00a0awkwardness in the event\u00a0that your date turns out to be a disaster.\u00a0 This is a lot less awkward than attempting to create an excuse to leave on the fly.\u00a0 It also allows you to leave with ease because your date expects it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And if you decide you want to stay longer because you are having a great time, you could always say that your plans fell through or tell the truth and have a good laugh about your motivations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pay attention to the signs online<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before you agree to a first date, pay attention to any signals that something may be off.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Does he text you way too much?\u00a0 Was there something off about one of his online dating profile pictures<\/a>?\u00a0 Did a line in his profile rub you the wrong way?\u00a0 Do you feel like he might just be out for sex?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If your instincts have you second guessing anything<\/em>, even if it’s really tiny, trust those instincts.\u00a0 They are usually correct.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Always meet in a neutral location<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unfortunately the good old days of a guy walking to your door to pick you up are long gone.\u00a0 There are just way too many crazies out there.Make sure you meet in a public setting with lots of people around.<\/p>\n [vc_separator type=’transparent’ position=’center’ color=” thickness=” up=’10’ down=’10’]<\/p>\n Avoid providing too much information<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are a lot of sheep in wolves clothing out there.\u00a0 Never give our your Facebook, family information, home address, or anything that could come back to haunt you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The odds of running into someone dangerous\u00a0is extremely rare.\u00a0 \u00a0Most of the creeps are just harmless weirdoes.\u00a0 But occasionally bad things happen and you do not want to accidentally find yourself in that position.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Want a little professional help?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our professional profile writers<\/a> have years of experience\u00a0implementing these\u00a0strategies to absolute perfection. \u00a0To learn how you could have one of my world class profile writers craft your profile, completely risk free, visit this page<\/a>. \u00a0We have success rates of over 99% since 2009!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And if you’d like your profile personally\u00a0crafted by me, check out one of my custom coaching packages by visiting this page<\/a>. \u00a0Spots are limited, but if they are full I will\u00a0be happy\u00a0to put you on the waiting\u00a0list.<\/p>\n1<\/h2>\n
