2. Order your food carefully
Valentine’s daydate is not the time to experiment with different recipes and foods. It’s advisable to stick to what you know so you don’t embarrass yourself by visiting the restroom multiples times on yourdate due to stomach upset. That can make yourdate totally awkward and cut yourdate short. Just order the foods that you’re familiar with. You can also ask the waiter to explain the menu if you don’t understand what’s on the list.

For those that are making Valentine’s day their firstdate, it’s not a bad choice to use some precaution.

Also, you don’t want to contract STDs and other transmitted diseases because you had unprotected sex. You can’t be too careful.
5. Share your location with your friends
If you’re meeting yourdate for the first time or it’s your firstdate, share your location with your friends. The streets out there are not so safe and you’re not paranoid by trying to be careful. Stay safe by sharing your location with your friend. They can be your ally in case anything bad happens.
