Meet In Public And Share Your Location With Friends
“Always meet them in public and in a neighborhood you are familiar with. This ensures you can get home even if your phone dies.”
“Also, make sure you have live locations shared with someone who knows you are going on a date.”
Set Up A Text System
“I would recommend buying a personal alarm and setting a ‘deadman’s switch.’ This sends a scheduled text to someone you trust about when and where you are going and who you might meet just in case the worst happens.”
“These scheduled messages can be deleted, though. So, you will also want a pin code, or a good pattern lock enabled on your phone.”
