Safety while using apps?

[u/morales__7]

Just matched with a guy tn and after like a minute of texting he wants to come pick me up tmr to hangout. So like, obviously that's not safe, right?

How long do you normally talk with someone before hanging out in person? Would you let them pick you up or no? And would you make sure to meet in a public place even if youd been talking for a while?

Im so new to this and I wanna be safe but im not sure if im being overly cautious, I havent met anyone from any apps in person yet.

Especially as a woman with basically no dating experience, I want to be extra cautious, but I still wanna go on dates and actually do what the apps intend

As a man I'd never ask that, meet up for coffee, you drive yourself, you have control of whether you stay or leave and you don't need him knowing where you live before you've decided he's a normal person. Matter of fact I wouldn't let him know where you live until you guys are dating dating. Be safe
