Dating doesn't have to be risky business

At RSVP Dating Agency and Singles Club, we know how exciting it can be when you are starting to get to know someone new and eagerly anticipating that first date. But, it’s equally concerning that the person that you are going to meet may not turn out exactly as described. We’ve all heard the horror stories of those first dates that didn’t quite go to plan - where the person they were meeting wasn’t who they portrayed in their profile; or they turned out to be already in relationship and only looking for one thing; or where things have taken a sinister turn when the person in question put too much trust in a stranger. So why do so many of us put ourselves at risk for the sake of finding love?

RSVP's expert dating consultants hear these horror stories over and over again and it always makes us wonder why more people don’t opt for a safer way of finding love. Traditional methods of making sure people know where you are when heading out on a date and checking in regularly are good practice. There are also new apps for those going dating, with built-in features for safe zones, check-ins and panic alarms to keep your loved ones up-to-date and sure that you are safe. But, I can’t help but feel that we don’t put enough emphasis on personal safety.

I am all for safer dating and anything that assists us in staying safe in a world full of hidden dangers. In life, what’s free is generally free for a reason: there’s a trade-off. Free dating is free because there’s no-one checking the person you are meeting really is who they say they are; there’s no-one ensuring that the person you’re chatting to on a site isn’t a criminal in some far-off land. Much better in my book is to invest a little in your own safety up-front so you do not have the fear of what could go wrong on that eagerly-awaited first date. By using an accredited professional matchmaking service like RSVP, you can be safe in the knowledge that whether you are heading out on a date with your own hand-picked introduction or attending one of our hosted singles events, people you meet have been met personally by one of our expert dating consultants and that they have agreed to behave accordingly.

Why not let our expert dating consultants put your safety first and introduce you to other like-minded, single people who have been vetted and approved to join our exclusive dating agency and singles club with one goal in mind – to find the one.
