Many times we have heard our friends whine about stupid jerks who don’t know how to pay compliments, or narrate about those blind dates that nearly lead to heart-attacks (because of those hairy arms that nauseated them…well isn’t that charming ladies?)

Blind dates are difficult to manage and the first time blind dates rarely ever materialize in anything concrete on the relationship front, but still, the charm that a first blind date holds is immense for any girl. So, just like those bad boys that women lust after, despite knowing that they are impossible to tame, the first blind date is a dream that is cherished by generally all womenfolk. And since it is not possible to fight those cravings, hence, they must look for some safe options that would at least give them some backup when they are pushed to the wall. The foremost thing that every girl must understand is that safety comes first, although a guy may look innocent but try and keep the brains and wits about, because date rape is a common crime. Make sure to always meet in public places, especially, on the first date. Follow these rules and keep safe:

1. In case the meeting is through some agency then it is important to make sure that every detail is verified particularly the guy’s background. Also, keeping the friends and family in the loop about the date is not a bad idea.

2. Keep your mobile fully charged and in case of any untoward signs simply walk off. Remember when safety is at stake, there is no point being Ms. Polite. Leave him in a lurch and rush out. Speed dials, as they are called, are for speedy communication. Keep emergency numbers on speed dials…Always!

3. Do not wear steamy clothes and no steamy talks; those can come later…

4. Keep a pepper spray or even chili powder with you as they are historical weapons that have seldom failed women in tough times!

5. Keep your nails long; scratch his face if the need arises because that’s no time to play poor damsel in distress!

6. If he is just a Bugs Bunny then even sweet and smart talk can help you, but if that doesn’t work, then remember the old adage; attack is the best defense. Hit him in the loins and run…run as fast as you can and shout out loud to attract people.

7. Even perfumes when sprayed in excessive qualities can blind him for a few minutes…Please use liberally! Keep a cheap bottle handy, that ways it won’t pinch your wallet either.

8. It may sound harsh, but when in doubt act coy i.e. don’t go on a date! Say that you have suddenly gone traditional and would only prefer the guy of your parent’s choice. That too will keep you safe!

If all else fails and you still are unsure about the blind dates, then try and read a Mills & Boons first, although for teens, yet, the iconic male characters can put you off any man in the world, thanks to their hyper sensuality! Remember that is what will probably help you the most!
