Dating has become common even in India. Boys and girls meet together as a group to have picnics or go to discos. Sometimes your friend introduces you to a new boy who is known to her or her friend, and you give him company. Though you need not be skeptical about every person you meet, it is always safe to be cautious with the person till you are convinced that he is safe to be with. Many a time a person gets hold of your name, telephone no, email id,  the name of your work place etc. gets photographed with you during a party and starts to blackmail you or send you obscene mails.Its always better to play safe than be vulnerable.
