If you’re going on a first date with someone, you should always make it in a public place. That way if the person isn’t who they said they were, you can leave easily. Let a relative or friend know your plans by telling them where you are going and who you’ll be with. If something were to go wrong, that person would have an idea where to look for you if you needed help. You’ll also not want to give a person your address or personal information about where you work until after you’ve been seeing each other for a while. That way, they can’t drop in on your unexpectedly if your date didn’t go well.
