YOU ALSO PROVIDE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS YOU WANT NOTIFIED IF A DATE GOES BAD.
THEN, BEFORE YOUR NIGHT OUT, YOU WRITE AN ALERT, ATTACH YOUR DATE'S INFORMATION AND SET UP A TIME FOR THE MESSAGE TO GO OUT. IF YOU DON'T CANCEL, IT'S SENT VIA EMAIL, INSTANT MESSAGE OR TEXT MESSAGE TO YOUR CONTACTS.
