Giving Authority to Your Intuition
February 4, 2009 by Madeline

by Tonya Genison Prince
The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness, and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival- Aristotle
Intuition is the divine ability to connect with our inner self. It is the part of us that knows the answers to questions before they are even asked. However in our society, we seem to have decided that it is far better to be reasonable and logical. Have we not yet learned that the two should be in loving relationship to one another and not in competition? By joining the forces of logic and intuition, one can even enhance their safety from one of the most damaging criminal acts-sexual assault.
Sexual assault is non-consensual sexual contact. Women, men and children of all ages can be victimized by sexual assault. A rapist may be a stranger, acquaintance, or relative. In 1998, the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Statistics reported that roughly 18% or 17.7 million women had experienced rape or attempted rape at some point in their lifetime. Here are just nine tips to keep in mind when confronted with the stealth attempts of a potential stranger assault:
•Be aware that someone may attempt to disrupt your intuitive flow by asking you a question or providing you with information.
•Often strangers will ask a question like “Excuse me, do you know what time it is?”or “How do I get to route 301 from here?” or say something like “It sure is hot out here!” “Your purse is open.” “Your ride is here.” When you allow yourself to begin thinking only, you are not connected to the discomfort of being in the presence of someone you do not know. Maintain a balance of intuition and reasoning.
•Be aware of the discomfort that comes with being alone with a person that you do not know well and recognize In the absence of intuition, we tell ourselves that nothing will happen or that we are being silly. Our inner self is right when it informs us that it may take quite awhile before we should feel comfortable enough to trust another person enough to be alone with them.
•Be aware that it is dangerous to leave your beverages unattended if you are in the company of persons you do not know and trust well whether they be male or female.
•Trust the voice of your core if you are getting a message that someone is being too controlling.
•Be aware that it is not safe to be in a position that causes you to be dependent upon another person. Carry a well-charged cell phone and always know whom you can call in a jam.
•When communicating your limits and boundaries speak from the core. Speak clearly in short concise statements. Polite statements may be ignored. Make it clear that your decision is not up for discussion.
•Be aware that that it can happen to anyone. Ignoring that reality may further increase the risk.
•Finally, remember within that so many times you probably followed your gut feeling, or hunch. Remember that listening to it served you well in the end.
I should strongly note that, while all of these tips relate to stranger assault, most people are more at risk of being assaulted by people who know them. Between 70-80% of all sexual assaults occur at the hands of someone that the victim knows. By nurturing our intuition with awareness we can help others and ourselves to enhance their safety.
These points of awareness may help to reduce your risk of sexual assault but may not entirely prevent this violent crime from occurring. It is essential that you know on every level of your being that the offender is always to blame and that sexual assault is never the fault of the survivor! No one “asks for” or deserves to be sexually assaulted no matter what. It is one of the worst and prevalent violations of human kind.
Should the unfortunate occur, be aware that help is available. I would personally recommend calling the National Sexual Assault Hotline @ 1-800-656-HOPE(4673).

Important Tips For Safe Dating Online

First things first; know who you are talking to. Meeting someone in a public chat room for a computer conversation is one thing. Meeting that person in real life is something entirely different. If you feel that this might be the one for you, proceed with extreme caution. Never give a stranger your full name, or your home address. Give only your cell phone number if you are giving numbers at this point at all. Do not get drawn or bullied into the “quiet night at home” idea for a first date. If that is the only acceptable idea for him, stop talking to him and block him from further contact.
Make sure that at least one person know that you are going out, where you will be going and when to expect you home. Make sure that you have your cell phone with you and check in with your friends often. Give them as much information as you can about your date. Tell your date up front that you need to touch base with your friends because they are worried about you. If he is a decent human, he will understand, if not, you might consider ending the date right there and then.
A better and usually safer option to prowling the chat rooms are the dating sites. There are countless sites available, some better than others that facilitate safe dating online. Look around and check out the features before you sign up. There are a few dating sites where membership and all of its benefits are free to women, so research can save you quite a bit of money. Once you have joined and found your matches, remember, the same rules of safety still apply.
Some people are uncomfortable with a Google search of their dates, some will not even consider a date without one. Either way it is always best to know at least a little bit about your date. Always know the warning signs and have an escape planned if the date goes sour. I know a girl that has a code word for truly awful dates. She calls her friend and pretends to be talking to an answering service. She then announces that she has an emergency and that she must go. For this reason, and for safe dating online, do not get into a car with someone that you have just met. Take separate cars even if the date is going well and you decide to continue onto a second location. Tell him that you will follow him and do not take no for an answer. A well mannered man will not want you to be uncomfortable, nor will he want to allow you to put yourself in a potentially unsafe situation. Know your dates or keep it public. Be safe or stay home. Period.

Free Dating ideas for singles – Singles chat and online dating tips.

There is an avalanche of online dating services now days. Singles have thousands of profiles to select from. Meeting singles now becomes a numbers game, perhaps a law of averages increasing our chances of finding love.
Traditional dating, before the internet was popular was a daunting task for singles looking to enter the singles and dating market. Before online dating emerged, asking people out on a date meant risking rejection not to mention losing some self confidence. Once upon a time knowing how and where to begin and which approach to use wasn’t easy.
Plucking up the confidence to approach singles in person and asking them on a date could perhaps result in complete disappointment, not to mention the embarrassment if your mates found out, or it may result in excitement and satisfaction if they excepted the offer to go on a date with you.
Thanks to new technology online dating and chat rooms have taken away most of the scare factor singles used to have to contend with. The “online” scene has opened up many options for guys and girls across the whole world. 15 years ago the thought of chatting online to a potential date in a foreign city or country was not heard of nor was it even possible. Online dating and chat rooms have recently made this possible.
What makes this “online” dating method so great is that we can now chat to singles and also friends from any country or state as if they were right next door to us. Dating in cyber space is upon us, and it takes out the whole scare factor of worrying about rejection if your advances don’t go the right way. It may also take days or months to locate someone else your attracted to and if you do the rejection from the previous effort is still ringing loudly.
There is an avalanche of online dating services now days. Singles have thousands of profiles to select from. The dating concept now becomes a numbers game, perhaps a law of averages. When you chat to a person you fancy and it doesn’t move on to a romantic level, before you realize you will have forgotten them and will have shifted onto the next member.
The Online dating idea just gets better. With all the dating sites after for your membership there is also free online dating. that’s right “free”. Many webmasters who own the free online dating services make money from advertising on their dating websites so this really is a a win win arrangement between the dating site company and their members. Just like the non paid websites, some “free” sites have chat rooms, video cam chat and singles profile matching.
If you have not tried to meet singles this way you are without doubt limiting your options to mingle and meet members of the opposite gender, and further more, you know they are single and looking so alot of the job is done before you even make contact with other members. Dating for newbie’s has never been so easy to access singles of all types.
An excellent way to start is to check out one of the general chat rooms online. You can sit back, watch and participate on the chat session when you feel comfortable. If you click with one of the other singles in the chat room, you can move on to a private “chat room” and chat privately via video cam chat and actually look at the person you are chatting to in now time.
So if this all sounds really exciting – which online dating is, remember it can all be done for free and in the convenience of your home. So get on the band wagon now to begin online dating today and meet real “singles”

10 Online Dating Safety Tips You Should Never Forget
July 30, 2008 by JohnF
Filed under Dating Safety
by Dr. Date
It seems everyone is into online dating today. Years back it was taboo to say you had met that special someone over the Internet as today it’s become mainstream. Popular Internet dating sites like www.TheFitnessPersonals.com are making meeting that special someone increasingly easier. With this new medium for induction taking off with it comes some common sense and not so common sense rules to go by.Hear are my top 10:
1. Only meet your date when you are 100% ready. You got to feel comfortable first. Make sure your ‘gut’ agrees with you head.
2. Keep it public. First date should be in a public place like a coffee shop or restaurant.
3. Meet at the date location – meaning DO NOT meet at your dates place of residence or yours. If the date goes really well you’ll then have plenty of opportunity in the future to go there but not now.
4. Keep the date to a limit. Say 1 hour. That give you both plenty of time to get an idea if a connection exists plus it keeps the pressure off if one person can’t wait for the date to be over. Remember – if it goes well then the next date can always be longer.
5. Make a friend aware. Let a friend know that you are going on a date with a new person and let that friend know where you are going to be. Agree to call your friend after the date to let him/her know everything is ok.
6. Make sure to have your cell phone with you and fully charged.
7. Avoid alcohol.
8. Do not leave your drink or food unattended. You don’t know this person so don’t trust too much from the beginning.
9 . Remember your gut. If it tell you things are off be ready to listen to it and simply end the date and leave.
10. Make sure when the date is over that you are not being followed so you get home safely.
Relationships take time to build and trust is something that shouldn’t be given away in a matter of minutes, hours, or even days. Remember – follow your gut and you will know when it’s right to take your relationship to the next level.

Ensuring Your Safety With Online Dating Sites

The world is hardly a safe place to live in at the moment. With all sorts of violent crimes happening on a daily basis, the news is always full of rapes, fraud and attacks. This is hardly painting a great picture but you do hear of plenty of problems, especially as some of them are linked to online dating sites. However, not all online dating sites are unsafe, and you can help to protect yourself as well.You should only ever use secure online dating sites. Those that offer assurances and are backed up by secure payment systems are always the best option. You can check this in the information given on the site itself as well as via the payment system. For example, the web address of the online dating site will be displayed as beginning with https:// rather than http://. There will also be a small lock appear in the frame of your browser. This ensures that your payment details will remain secure. In terms of your own personal details, good dating sites will ask you for your details in order to verify that you are in fact human but will also allow you to choose what you reveal and what you do not.
You can also guard your personal details when using online dating sites by following these suggestions:
- Never reveal your phone number – This is a recipe for disaster and plenty of crank calls. The safest way to communicate when online dating is via the site itself or via email. Never give your number to someone until after you meet him or her for the first time.
- Never reveal where you live – Again, this is a recipe for disaster. When you do arrange a date, both of you should make arrangements to get there yourself. As such, you have no need to reveal your home address until you get to know your date well.
- Choose your picture very carefully – It should not reveal anything about you or your home. You should not feature any expensive personal possessions, the outside of your home, your car number plate or anything else that could make you a target. Online dating pictures may be seen by thousands so play it safe.
- Never divulge your daily routine or a specific work location – Stalkers and potential attackers may well target people that they have found via online dating as a result of their workplace or places that are part of a daily routine (the gym for example). Do not reveal this information. Of course, this only happens in a minority of cases but the risk just is not worth it.
- Always meet in a busy and public location – This is just basic offline and online dating safety. You do not know anything about your date when you meet them other than what they he or she has told you so just be careful. Your well being is the most important thing.

10 Online Dating Safety Measures To Beware Of by Muna wa Wanjiru
1) Follow your instincts. If the general gut feeling is that the person you are talking to is suspicious, trust this feeling and cut all communication immediately.
2) Never give out your personal information until you are sure it is safe.
3) Use a safe site; that is, one that is primarily concerned with the safety of its clients by enabling ways of weeding out potentially dangerous users say for example those with previous criminal records.
4) Do not give your personal contact details eg telephone numbers (even cellphone numbers), addresses etc. With todays technology finding somebody through a phone number is a matter of only a few clicks over a period of several seconds.
5) Learn some self defense skills. You might be accosted physically and these will come in handy.
6) Do not talk about your kids online, post their pictures or divulge any information about them, say for example what school they attend and the likes.
7) When going out on a date for the with someone you met online, ensure that you meet in a public place at a “safe” hour.
Ensure that you have your own means of transport to and from the venue of the date. Do not under any circumstances let the person drive you home.
9) Be wary of people who ask weird intrusive questions and remember that you do not have to answer anything that could put you in danger.
10) If you have to meet outside your locality take extra care especially if you are flying to a place you have never been to before. Make sure at least one person close to you knows the full details of the plans to go meet the person and also about the person you are meeting.

Establishing Online Dating Relationships: Safety First by Michael Saunders – Bruised Onion Guide
Take care of your equipment and systems before you head out into the Internet realm. You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):
Free Firewall Download: ZoneAlarm www.zonelabs.com
Free Anti-Virus Download: AVG Anti-Virus www.grisoft.com
Protect Yourself
Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service. How? Begin by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which places they recommend. In addition, search “online dating services” and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place. Try only those places where you feel safe. Avoid the others.
So take care. Arm your computer – and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge!
