Since the emergence of social media platforms such as Facebook, Whatsapp, IMO, Twitter, Instagram etc, meeting and socializing with people has become so easy that people across the globe can relate and at the same time communicate with each other irrespective of the distance. Many have benefited from this trend while to some people, it is an experience they wouldn't want to remember.

On 30.05.2015 I just stumbled on the devastating news of Angela Russo, a missing Arizona young woman who was gruesomely murdered by Lashawn Johnson after she was reportedly missing. According to Angela Russo's mother, the deceased went on a date with Johnson, a man she met on a dating site.

Here in Nigeria, a young business woman few years back was strangled to death in a hotel room by a set of young men she met online. The death of these innocent people and so many other social vices motivated me to publish this article which gears towards educating social media users on how to handle online dating. One has to be very careful when dealing with online dating, because in most cases you have to deal with total strangers whom you don't even know their mental state.

I have been active on social media for over 13 years and within this period, I have come across so many people who in one way or the other have benefited from online dating.

If you are going on a date for the first time with someone you met online, you have to put into consideration the points that I will be sharing.

RISK ASSESSMENT APPLICATION: When going on a date with people you meet online, please always apply the risk assessment theory. What this means is that as you agree to hookup, try to identify any hazard that may come up in the cause of you meeting up with a total stranger. When you identify, then you have to analyze and evaluate if you can proceed with such date. When applying this theory, you have consider the personality of the individual, the location, number of people involved and the distance.
THIRD PARTY INVOLVEMENT: It is advisable to involve a third party before embarking on an online date. Yea, this is a mistake most victims of online date make that you have to avoid. Make sure you inform someone close to you of every move you make by sending messages.
BE PROACTIVE: Be at alert when you are going on a date with someone you just met online, do not be carried away by mere mirage. In most cases, the bad guy out there concludes on how to carry out his evil plan when he realize you are being carried away by his gimmick. So never allow yourself to be carried away by sweet talks, smell of his perfume or any other thing he may throw at you to fall.
TAKE A SELFIE: This may sound awkward and challenging, but It is a trick you have to play. When you meet him or her for the first time, just pretend to be exited for seeing him or her for the first time. politely ask for a selfie and when he agrees take it asap. While you chart with him forward the pics to the third party you involved earlier so that they will know the person you went on a date with.
MAKE USE OF YOUR MOBILE GPS TRACKER: GPS which simply means Global Positioning Systems will enable your love one to determine and track your precise location. So before things get out of hands, you will be easily located.
If the above tips are properly made use of when meeting an online date, it will be very difficult for the evil ones to carry out their plans. Remember that any strange person you are meeting from the social media platform is a suspect until you are certified that his or her intentions are genuine. Good luck as you search for true love.
