Do you tell a friend or family member your plans before going on a first date? (Page 2)

Question

For your personal safety, I think you should tell a friend or family member before meeting someone for a first date (unless you already know this person fairly well.) The odds are overwhelming that your date is a decent person and nothing bad is going to happen, but. . . what if he walks you to your car at the end of the date, pulls a gun, and forces you to get into his car? You know what happens next. What if she invites you back to her place, you are excited about getting laid, and when you walk in, three thugs jump you, steal your wallet, and drive away in your car? It doesn't guarantee your safety, but it helps if you tell someone who you are meeting, when and where, and if you call them afterwards to report that you are safe and it went well (or he/she is an idiot but harmless.) And you could also request them to give you that rescue call, about thirty minutes after the date starts, in case you need a convenient excuse to get up and leave right now because your date is driving you crazy. Are you concerned about your safety on a first date? If so, what do you do for safety?

I ALWAYS tell my best friends who, when, where, how, what and why… so I ask them advices and confront my choices for everything. I usually get paranoid when I get a date, not only the first one.

It's usually the other way round. Friends tell me their going on dates. We also have a 'track my child' app 🤣 that's usually checked throughout too.

Only if the girl is just getting released from Prison or a Psychiatric hospital. Dangerous women and crazy women are great in bed but I worry that I may not get home alive.

I’m not no bitch and I know how to kill somebody just by hitting them in the heart

_deeznuts · Answer

lol I tell my best friend everything, the person, place, time and anything in between. Sometimes I text her to call me to give me an excuse to leave if I wanna go home.

It would be a little late for you in either of the cases you mention, it would just make it easier to find the perp (s) and maybe your body...

And usually there is an email or phone contact trail that can be followed.

I tell someone about it and where I’m going, but not necessarily who I’ll be with unless they ask. If it’s a hookup, then I don’t say anything about it but make sure my phone’s charged and I keep a knife on me.

I send my mum my location and my friend gets their address when I go to their house as he drives

In the past, I would if there was something important happening.

AimeeKyle · Answer

I usually do not but I am a guy. If I were a female I would probably let someone know day/time/location if I didn’t know the person / early in the relationship.

No, I have a dead man's switch in case something happens. No need to bring in family.

BurntKeyboard · Answer

I went on a date that wasn't so respectable, and I literally just told my friend I was going on a long walk in case of emergency. Not the way to do it, but I did it anyway.

msc545 · Answer

I don't feel the need to tell anyone, but I make sure anything I do on that date is done in public so I have deniability relative to false accusations.

exitseven · Answer

I never told anyone, not that I had a lot for friends to begin with.
