Dating violence is on the rise we’re sorry to say. When there’s testosterone and booze involved it can be a very unpleasant situation.
Here are some great tips to minimise risk of getting into difficult situation:
1 – Avoid drinking heavily. Keep drinking to a minimum and always be aware how much they are putting away. If they are drinking too heavily then make your ecuses to go early.
2 – Be prepared. Be ready to attract the attention of people nearby with a rape alarm or even a scream.
3 – Stick to busy places. On early dates make sure you are in a densly populated bar.
4 – Remain calm & rational. If they do show signs of potential violence don’t start crying or pleading. This may actually make him get off on the situation.
5 – Repulse them. If violence looks iminant, try and vomit or urinate to get their mind off any images they may have cungered up.
6 – Get evidence. If you are a victim of dating violence do not clean yourself. Get straight to the police station, report it and get them to take samples.
