Six Questions to Ask Yourself Before You Go on a Date with a Stranger

1. What is my date’s full name? You better know this! You’re not just going out with HotGuy86 that you met online. And by now you have Googled his ass and verified key information on him.

2. Who else knows where I’m going other than my date? Be sure to tell your roommate, your sibling, or parent your full itinerary for the evening. Ask them to check in on you with a text once or twice throughout the evening at a specific time. This way you can check your phone at that specific time and not have to be fiddling with it all night taking time away from getting to know your Mr. Maybe.

3. Where are we meeting? He’s not picking you up on your first date and taking you somewhere. Tell him you’ll meet him at the chosen public location, preferably one that you are familiar with and maybe even friends with the barista, server, or bouncer.

4. How am I getting home? Be sure to have a plan to get yourself home safely or have someone you trust pick you up. Don’t let a complete stranger know where you live on your first date unless you both live on campus, and then it’s inevitable. Just don’t let him in!

5. Do I have enough cash on me in case I need to ditch the date and grab a cab? Always carry enough cash with you in case of an emergency.

6. Do I feel confident, strong, and comfortable setting my limits for the evening and communicating them when I need to? If the answer is no, then do not go! There’s no rush. There will be plenty of men around when you are ready and confident to set your limits.

Our friend, Alex Franzen is truly one of our self-confidence sheroes. The girl speaks and lives her truth and helps others do the same through writing and speaking.

Alex wrote several books, including an e-book called, How to Say No…Nicely.

Just for you, we had Alex wordsmith up some confident ways for YOU to say, “No,” to a preep who asks you out. Here goes:

If the preep asks you out on a date, and he’s sorta polite about it…

Say: No, thank you. My instincts are telling me we’re not a match.

If the preep keeps pressuring you, or doesn’t accept your answer...

Say: Actually, this isn’t up for discussion. I said no.

[Ideally, you should leave the situation at this point. Don’t give the preep a chance to keep pressuring you.]

If the preep says something gross or offensive like, “Your loss. I can tell that you need some good d*ck…”

Say: And THAT is exactly why I said no to begin with. Thanks for confirming that my instincts about you were correct.

[Then: remove yourself from the situation immediately! Walk away, hang up the phone, delete him from your social media friend-group, or whatever it takes.
