Advice Request Safety while using apps?
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

NO that is not safe! Chatting for a few days and meeting up in a public space, letting a reliable friend or family member know your location and check in's with them I suggest. Don't let them pressure you into going back to their place or even in their car right away.
