For A Date, Do You Prefer To Meet Up At The Location, Or To Go There Together In A Car?

Question

I've been told by some girls that they're not comfortable with their date knowing where they live when they're getting picked up, so they prefer to meet them at the location instead. It isn't until they're officially in a relationship that they're comfortable with their boyfriend knowing, naturally.

it really is up to her and her comfort level, so meeting at a place does have advantages.
They can feel safer, who knows who is picking them up, or what might happen on the way back home after the date, and it isn't the worst thing if the date just plain doesn't work out well, there is just a goodbye, enjoy life and off we go to wherever we feel like going.
Plus, the prerequisite phone call text from her friend to see how the date is going.
I don't mind that at all, a person can't be too careful.

Depends on how much chemistry band connection we have prior to the first date , I usually get to know a girl first over the phone or FaceTime before asking her on a date , so I will offer to pick her up if that’s was the case , but if it’s just a girl I met that I don’t know too much about , I will ask her to meet me somewhere just in case the date goes bad , her and I can just both leave and go our separate ways lol

For a first date yes meeting up is ideal but if it's been a couple of dates then going together would be more ideal. I'm a passenger princess so if I can avoid driving I will lol

Escape hatch is required.  But like to meet up for something adventurous. People show all of their sides best when exposed to fun.

Until chemistry and trust are established, always meet in a very public location where there are lots of other people around.
Even men who ignore this rule are natural born suckers, or psychopaths.
Ell oh ell!

For a first date, I always suggested that we meet at the restaurant, unless I already knew the woman.

Meet up works for me. Less hassle picking her up and dropping her off. I don't know where she lives and she doesn't know where I live. Fair is fair. If she wants to leave, she has transportation. If I want to get out of there same, I have my car. No need for an awkward ride after a failed date. I may be able to salvage the evening.

This can vary with the woman. If you meet online chances are high they’ll want to meet at the location. If you met by chance out in public those women seem more inclined to being picked up. I am
Fine either way. The upside to meeting on location is if the date is … meh … it can just end there.

dragoblack · Answer

Meet up at a location.
It's safer, we can both decide on a public location we both feel safe at, we can both go our own ways if things don't work out, and less chance of vehicle getting damaged if the girl I'm meeting is actually crazy, petty, & vindictive.

For a first date, women usually feel more comfortable meeting at the agreed upon location.  But it doesn't matter to me. I am more than happy to pick them up and drive if they are okay with that.

slatyb · Answer

I would not ask a woman that doesn't know me to get in a car with me. If she had no other transportation, then I would give her enough information to make her feel safe.

spartan55 · Answer

I would NEVER suggest picking up a first date, that is just not a good idea for all parties involved.

Booboolove69 · Answer

It’s safer to meet up because I don’t know the guy well enough yet.

I’ll meet him there, and thank him for offering to drive!

exitseven · Answer

I prefer to show up at her door and escort her to my car. I will open the door for her as well.

BDRick · Answer

I’d rather go together, because I’d prefer to be a couple which makes one of two rather than two individuals who meet up to go on a date

Anonymous · Answer

I never had a date, and I can't drive, so even if I had a chance to get a date, I would rather meet up with her (or she would drive me).

Jamie05rhs · Answer

If it's someone I don't know, I would prefer meeting at the location.

Anonymous · Answer

no, i would not want to get in with a strange in a car for the 3,4, or 5th date. if you have any sense, you should always try your best to drive your lover, if you actually love him.
