Whether you’re new to sugar dating or a seasoned pro, ensuring your well-being should always be paramount. Here are some essential safety tips for sugar babies to consider before embarking on a first date:

GET TO KNOW YOUR DATE VIA CALLS & VIDEO CHATS FIRST 

Before agreeing to meet in person, engage in thorough communication with your potential sugar daddy. Exchange messages, have video calls, and ask questions to gauge their intentions and personality. Trust your instincts and only proceed if you feel comfortable.

Be honest about what your expectations are and dont be afraid to discuss things especially when it comes to potential intimacy and boundaries.

CHOOSE A PUBLIC MEETING PLACE

Opt for a well-lit, public venue for your first encounter. Coffee shops, restaurants, or busy parks are excellent choices where you can feel safe and have easy access to help if needed. Avoid secluded or private locations until you’ve built trust with your date.

Don’t go to someones home on your first date and do not invite them toyours too. Dont let them pick you up from home either. keep your address secret until you are comfortable with the sugar daddy.

INFORM A TRUSTED FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND BEFORE YOU GO ON A FIRST DATE AND CHECK IN WITH THEM

Share details of your date, including the location, time, and the person’s name, with a trusted friend or family member. Provide them with your date’s contact information and establish a check-in system to ensure your safety throughout the meeting. Its good to have a code word to let your trusted friend know you are OK or not OK.

SET BOUNDARIES AND EXPECTATIONS BEFORE YOU MEET :

Before meeting face-to-face, discuss your boundaries, expectations, and financial arrangements with your date. Be clear about what you’re comfortable with and what’s off-limits. Establishing these guidelines upfront can help prevent misunderstandings later on. Discuss when any money should be paid and agree on this before you meet.

ARRANGE YOUR OWN TRANSPORT:

Avoid relying on your date for transportation to and from the meeting place. Use an UBER or your own vehicle, a rideshare service, or public transportation to maintain independence and control over your movements. This ensures you can leave the date at any time if you feel uncomfortable.

KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION PRIVATE:

While it’s natural to share some personal details during conversation, refrain from divulging sensitive information such as your home address, workplace, or financial details. Protect your privacy until you’ve developed trust and feel secure in the relationship.

LIMIT ALCOHOL INTAKE & REMAIN ALERT:

Limit alcohol consumption during the date to remain clear-headed and aware of your surroundings. Being intoxicated can impair judgment and make you more vulnerable to potential risks. Stay vigilant and trust your instincts if something feels amiss.

HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY: (Ask for Angela – in London bars)

Plan an exit strategy in case the date doesn’t go as expected. Arrange a signal with a friend or establish an excuse to leave if you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Trust your intuition and prioritise your well-being above all else.

ASK FOR ANGELA!

A lot of bars have a code word for safety of women these days. London based bars have teamed with the Met Police and bar staff are trained to repsond to the word “Ask for Angela“.

The safety initiative ‘Ask for Angela’ is being rolled out to bars, clubs and other licensed businesses across London.  People who feel unsafe, vulnerable or threatened can discreetly seek help by approaching venue staff and asking them for ‘Angela’. This code-phrase will indicate to staff that they require help with their situation and a trained member of staff will then look to support and assist them. This might be through reuniting them with a friend, seeing them to a taxi, or by calling venue security and/or the police. So why not arrange a first date at a bar that is signed up tot his initiative,

KEEP YOUR PHONE CHARGED

Ensure your mobile phone is fully charged before the date and keep it with you at all times. Take a charger too! It’s your lifeline in case of emergencies, allowing you to contact friends, family, or emergency services if needed. Perhaps set up a quick dial number. When going to the loo, check in with your friend or family member to let them know all is OK. Do this several times.

FOLLOW UP AFTER THE DATE:

After the date concludes, check in with your trusted contact to confirm your safety. Share any concerns or red flags you may have experienced during the meeting. Reflect on your experience and decide whether you feel comfortable pursuing further interactions with your date.

REMEMBER THIS IS MEANT TO BE FUN

If after the date you didnt enjoy yourself or had concerns do not see that person again. This is meant to be fun after all.
