My rule for first dates from tinder is no getting in their car, no going to their house, and no having them come to my house. You never really know someone unless you personally know them in person. If you want to do it and feel comfortable just make sure to have pepper spray and your location shared with friends. You’re an adult, do what you think is best. But personally I wouldn’t.
So like this, once a guy asked me out and said that he'd pick me up in his car. I was like oh wow. ( Coz that's a nice first impression- caring nature). Next time onwards, he always called me to his place and never came to my place. Hahaha. So you know they could this that it's one time effort or something though I don't know if your case would be the same or different ;)
It sounds like it's probably safe, considering your friends, if your friends trust him because they know him, I think it's a safe bet that that's fine. But, in this day and age it may be better to play it safe and meet up driving separately.
Then he has an opportunity to show you how much of a gentleman he is by walking you to your car 😉
u Suppose he reveals a psycho aspect of himself in a dating context and now he knows where you live. . . see any potential problems?

NO. I don't care if your friend does know him, do YOU know him that well?
Take your own car so if the date doesn't go well or you need to leave, you don't have to rely on him.
I'm personally one to always be cautious. I would meet up with him rather than riding with him.
No. Arrive by separate transportation.
I'd say no.
I've heard too many stories about people thinking they can trust a guy they know. In this case it's a guy you don't know yourself...
As an example, this summer the sister to a friend of mine met someone she knew from school, they hadn't met in a year or two. She trusted him... he slipped something in her drink... You know how the story ends. Don't trust so blindly, please.
If he was a complete stranger is say no but if people you know know him then go for it but make sure to keep your location on and make sure you let your best friendd or someone know he picked you up and when you get and leave the restaurant just in case. Not saying something will happen but never know, even if it is he gets drunk and yea need another ride
Always meet your date, have your own ride. It doesn't matter if you two have mutual friends and a lot of people know him. Ted Bundy was pretty great, too, to everyone around him.
He could reveal a part of himself that makes you feel uneasy or the date may not go very well. At that point, you'll want an easy escape.
If you drive yourself he can't try to pursued you to get into his car. Better safe than sorry.
Bring pepperspray.
Don't leave him pick you up from your house but if you really don't want to meet him there suggest a local coffee shop or something to link up first. That way you can suss him out for a bit before getting into his car
Just because people know him doesn’t mean he’s a good guy. It’s always safer to have your own transportation on a first date. That way if at any point you get uncomfortable or something doesn’t seem right, you can leave
Oh my... no, no, no! Meet him wherever you decide to eat. Have a friend you can when the date starts and ends (not during for God's sake). This is basic personal security.
Absolutely not! You guys need to meet in person first in a public place. Once you guys actually meet in person, and if everything goes well, then you may consider that. Think about it, meeting in person first at a public place allows you the ability to a) know he is who he said he is and not a catfishing situation and b) give you the time to sit and talk to him and get a better sense of who he is through interpreting his behavior and catch any red flags.
it helps to have references for someone. but how well do they know him? If you do, have a backup contact/escape.
Personally, I would not do that...
No. Meet him somewhere. Get to the date on your own and get home on your own. You have no idea how the date will go. And you don't want a stranger knowing where you live.
Always best to meet up for the first few dates in your own car. Unless u have an account with uber/Lyft. So u can leave if needs.
Yeah most likely. Always have your guard on, but I believe you can trust him enough to get in his car.
Good luck, aaand have fun!
oh no. please make sure to have your own transport. if he turns out to be a freak or anything you have no transport and depend on him.
Well if you got mutual friends then I guess he's ok. Might want to pack a taser just to be safe but you can rist it.
If you're worried about it then meet there.
If you really don't trust the guy, don't meet up in the first place.
Tinder is for losers anyway. He's just hoping to get laid.
I never suggest getting picked up on a first date. Meet him there. Then if you are uncomfortable then you can leave on your terms.
Definitely not! I would feel safer taking an Uber than doing that
You do know there are much less complicated ways to commit suicide right? You obviously have a death wish by even considering this, Charles Bronson
