"How to stay safe when speed dating. Obviously, you're going to an event. You're going to meet fifteen to twenty people. And, they're strangers to you. And you don't, you don't know who they are, where they come from, or what they're doing. Hopefully, by the end of the night, you might have a clearer idea. But, I'm just going to give you a few tips, how to stay safe speed dating. Number one, always tell someone where you're going, or go along with friends. Number two, don't give out any personal details that you don't wish the person to have, i.e., mobile phone number, e-mail address, or your surname. Because if you give them your surname, and your first name, you're very traceable. Number three, do not leave the speed event with a member of the opposite sex, i.e., go back to their flat, or accept a lift home. Because that you don't, as I, as I say, I can't stress to you enough, they are strangers at that point. And number four is, if you get a "matc", if you get a match, always arrange to meet in a public place. Don't, don't go anywhere, that's not, the publics not around. Go to a bar, restaurant, wherever. Just make sure you tell someone where you're going. And number five is, use your common sense and be sensible. And just to make sure you look after yourself at all times, and that's five safety tips for speed dating."
