Speed Dating 1

Some people use speed dating and dating websites or apps to look for partners. They have to be very careful to make sure they do not tell people private details about themselves like where they live on the internet, tell someone they trust what they are doing and get proper advice about online dating to make sure they are safe. Never meet someone for the first time without telling a parent or carer what your plans are or where you are going. Watch the videos to find out what sort of partners these people are looking for and the impressions they give about themselves. Follow the instructions in the worksheet.
