Blind Dating: How Women Can Prepare for the Worst

Many women are unaware that rape is a very common occurrence in regards to blind dating. If you are a woman, and you are active in the blind dating scene, it is important that you have the knowledge and skills required to prepare yourself for what could happen. If you're lacking the physical capabilities to defend yourself, such as knowledge of martial arts, there are other options available on the market that will provide you with the protection you need, when you need it. These options include pepper spray, stun guns, mace, and many others.



One of the most common forms of meeting new people and forming new relationships is through blind dates. Most blinds dates are set up through mutual friends, and in most cases, the two individuals literally have no clue as to who they are about to meet. In fact, the only information you may be given about your blind date might only include a first name, and what they are wearing that night!



One of the problems of an arrangement like this is that very often your friend, who arranged the blind date for you, does not know the other person very well.



Knows nothing about their background or mental state. But yet, because our "friend" set up the date we automatically place a great deal of faith in their judgement. Before accepting a blind date make sure you ask your friend how well they know the blind date. If they admit they don't know them very well, just tell them you will take a pass.



Being alone with someone that you know very little about can be very dangerous, and you may find yourself in a extremely vulnerable situation. If you like the excitement of the blind dating scene, there are ways you can protect yourself without compromising the fun factor.



Acquiring the proper skills and tools to defend yourself should a blind date become a dangerous one, is a very good idea. Lets discuss some options that are available to you that offer personal protection.
