A couple reasons why you should meet your first blind date especially over the internet at a public location is because first of all girls you don't know who you going to meet. If he's too strange or something doesn't feel right with this guy that you don't know you can either stay at the location until he goes away or leave the same way you arrived on your own. If you jump into a car someone you don't really know then you are a captive audience. Not just that there may be Danger but he may be boring or disgusting or rude or mean and you don't want to find yourself stuck especially with a stranger with him in control at the car. And if he's a cool cucumber he shouldn't have a problem with you wanting to ride your own transportation especially on the first few dates. Just be safe and have fun. Also and I don't mean to sounds so fatherly but please remember to let others know where you're going and the information of who that person is with someone else. I hope my opinion helps. Happy blind dating! :-)
I once had a online date with a girl a mall. It was her by herself it seemed. Then we stepped on sidewalk and here come two guyd (her brothers) she says this is who I'm on my date with. They glance and say to her well if you need us or any trouble call us. I'm thinking good lord seriously? Mall. Public. That was my intent for it to be a safe environment. So she would be at ease. Instead I was wondering the entire time if I was gonna be jumped at the end of the night or some kind of lie perpetuated against me, or if my car was being broken into (the guys remained outside as we went in)
Dating as a teen, they've always picked me up. However, once I'm into adulthood more, we will be meeting somewhere public because I'm really trying to not be killed
"Do you pick her up from her address" Noooooooo! Always meet at a public place the first time. You don't know who you have been communicating with until you see him. You need that eye to eye contact for your intuition to work as to whether he is a good guy or not. It doesn't take long, but is a necessary step.
I’ve always met my first dates somewhere in public. I would have no problem offering to pick someone up, but would be surprised if they actually wanted me to considering they’ve never met me at that point. I’ve given women a lift home from a first date before, once they’ve met me and can tell I’m not a serial killer! From the second date and beyond I’m much more likely to pick her up.
Of course, I’m assuming here this is someone I’ve met online. If it’s someone I already know from the real world (a rare way to find a date these days 😂) then it’s a little different.
In my country people are more environmentally friendly and even those people who can afford cars, often choose to use public transport instead (not to mention that it's often actually signifficantly faster to go by metro). At this point picking somebody up is rather difficult
As a woman it's safer for you to meet a guy in a public place. You never know what kind of nutters you might meet online so that's why I'd never really suggest it. It's a bad idea for you. Later dates when you know the guy isn't an axe-murderer, sure.
Considering it's online. It's close to blind. but i try to taylor it to her. I make a suggestion but ultimately leave it up to her. I understand if she wants to meet ( that way i don't know where she lives as if i was to pick her up). Or if she wants to pick a place she feels safe at.

I would recommend to all women to meet the guy somewhere, especially somewhere public. And make sure you have your own way of getting home. Too many guys expect a woman to have sex with him after the dinner/date and if she's dependent on him to take her home, he might not if she doesn't "put out".
Meet her somewhere public and surrounded by people so as to make her feel safe. Never pick up a woman from your car or if you just came from a bar fight. Always make sure the woman feels safe in your presence.
Very few girls that actually have a car would let a guy they've never met pick them up at their house; this isn't a good idea; so, I don't suggest it and typically meet them somewhere.
With the way society is nowadays, the last thing that I would want a woman to feel is afraid of me or scared. Online dating can be scary for women, that's why I'd let her pick the place so she feels comfortable and ask her to meet me there so she knows she isn't dependent on me to take her home. I feel this way out of respect because dating in the first place is already intimidating.
The times I've gone on a first date with someone I met online I insisted that we meet somewhere in a public place. That just makes good sense for girls' safety. I want her to feel comfortable.
If you want to give him your address so that he can come anytime and become fuckboy then it's okay but if you want to check the guy behavior and looks then meet him in public places.
Well I don't have a license nor a car, so I can't drive, so I request and arrange that we meet up somewhere in the area for our first date, but only after we've established contact through phone call or video chat.
Meet in a public place for the first time, no doubt. You don't know enough about the person yet.

I met this girl online and just because she showed her face while being sexual. I gave my address and home pone number and surname. I thought she loved me and trusted me so much to do that. Lately found out she gave me fake address and burner numbers.
It's always best to meet up. If something happens or you just aren't comfortable, it's best you both have a way out. It is the first date, and first meeting after all
If she is comfortable with me knowing where she lives then I'll pick her up. If she is more cautious with her home address then I'll meet her somewhere.
