Iâm supposed to have dinner with an older guy I met on a dating app, but he insists on meeting at night even though itâs a public holidayâ and that scares me. I mean, if he had plans during the day, meeting at night would be fine, but someone who starts out specifying night is suspicious.I told him, âSince itâs our first time, Iâd prefer to meet during the day,â and suggested picking a day when we could have lunch instead. If he still pushes for night, I figure he probably has that kind of motive. Dating apps can lead to great encounters if you use them well, but theyâre also risky. Among people looking for a genuine relationship, thereâs an equal number just looking for a hookâup.So itâs crucial to screen them from the start. If he insists on night, I think you should stick to daytimeâ and if he wonât budge, itâs better not to meet him at all. Protect yourself.
