Go on group dates when you are unfamiliar with your date and avoid secluded areas.Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and drug useWatch your drink. Use closed containers. Once you lose sight of your drink, do not consume it any more.
Be assertive and clearly communicate your sexual and relationship boundaries early.Always have your own transportation available or access to a cab service.Do not go to an apartment or hotel room if you do not know the person well, and don't let them follow you to your room.
