I need some good first date questions

[rexbeccarox]

If someone is of the mindset of stealing cars and using fake phones and ID then what fill bringing a family member to a first date achieve?

If you're talking about a date that's already happening in public to begin with I mean.

That is the point. 

How do you know if you have no long term knowledge of someone you just met on line. 

That's the point. You don't know either way.

"In public" no sorry, that is not enough. It is a start, but you also need to make family and friends aware as direct witnesses. A lagit person will understand. A con or predator doesn't want that direct contact with others their victim knows. 

Yes; I make friends or family aware of every first, second, third, etc. I go on. We have plans and procedures for worst-cases. I don't have to haul them along with me.

Crimes, be they financial or sexual assault can start or happen in public too. Just because you are in public with a stranger, does not mean once they gain your confidence they wont convince you to go to a place with no witnesses. 

They can also start or happen with loved ones present.

The only pragmatic safety is time and exposure of that person to the people you personally know. Criminals and sexual predators can meet you in public at first, gain your trust, then hurt you when they convince you to go to an isolated location.

Aaaand you don't think that could all happen if you have chaperones for first dates??

And even without rape, a good con can get your personal info in public and fleece you without you knowing.

And what difference would friends or family make?

Having a buddy system when you first meet someone a lagit person will understand.

Cool. You do you.

Also, it's "legit".
