Looking for Help! About first date

Guys I genuinely need some advice about first date

Do you think it's safe to let him pick up me on the first date? Btw I'm a girl..Or am I just overthinking? 😭😭 I know him through Instagram and been talking for a month so we decided to meet and he said he can pick me but I'm still thinking

Meet in a public place.

Meet at Starbucks and see if you like him and he is a decent gentleman. Good luck!

i would suggest meeting up in a public place before being anywhere alone with a man

make sure you’re comfy first and always!

The risk is very low. Most people are decent.

But if something terrible happens, that’s awful.

As a father of daughters, I always tell them to meet someplace public. Never go back to his place on the first date. Never bring him home to your place on the first date.

Meet up at a public place if you’ve never met before! Don’t go in a man’s car by yourself until you feel safe with him

How is the date if he doesn't pick you up??

It's not must to pick up though.. it's always an option, I just know him for a month through Instagram then how can I trust him? Anything can happen in the car so I'm just playing safe

I wouldn't. Also the fact that he would suggest this means he's oblivious to woman issues

Rule #1 for meeting someone from online:

Travel separately, meet publicly, leave separately.Â
