Safety in numbers with DatingDoubles.co.uk

Online dating is generally extremely safe, friendly and great fun and DatingDoubles.co.uk was created with safety and fun in mind. It’s safe for two reasons, first of all it’s distance dating and secondly you go on a date with a friend. When dating online you don’t come into contact with others initially which provides a comfort factor that also allows you to pace yourself and be choosey, and when you do meet up you will be in a foursome which will help to lighten the atmosphere. No awkward first moments, just four people out to have some fun and romance.

Another great thing about dating in doubles is that you’re not stuck for the evening or lunch with the person you chose on site if they turn out not to be as compatible as you hoped … there’s always their friend! It wouldn’t be the first time that two friends have swapped dates having realised that they picked the wrong person initially. And with four people the pressure to find romance is off. You can relax and enjoy the date together.

Dating with a friend does make the whole thing a lot safer, but it’s still wise to be cautious. If possible it’s a good idea to follow a few basic online safe dating principles before deciding to share personal contact information with a stranger or arrange to meet them. The tips here are from LoveBrowser.com. They may appear obvious to you but we think that if you try to follow them, it can only help to ensure you have happy online dating experiences.

Always trust your instinct – it’s got you this far in life already

• Don’t take everything at face value
• Do ask lots of questions when chatting
• If someone is abusive, block them straight away
• Don’t provide your home or work address to anyone you have not met
• Before agreeing to a date, check that you know as much as possible
• Don’t allow yourself to be talked into anything, whatsoever! You are the one in charge

Also consider the following:

• Take your time to get to know someone. Don’t be rushed
• A patient person will be happy to wait until you’re ready to meet
• Chat on the phone for a while before arranging a date, get to know each other
• Always meet in a public place that is well known and convenient to you

And perhaps consider these points too:

• Always carry a mobile on a date if you have one
• Lunchtimes are good for dating, convenient, and they have a time limit
• Always make your own travel arrangements on a date initially
• Don’t accept a lift home on the first date or reveal your address
• If travelling far, organise your own accommodation
• Ensure you have as much information about your date as possible
• Keep your first date to a time limit so that you have an “exit” point
• Don’t feel you owe it to someone to meet them, you don’t
