Tinder

[Lisanoonan]

I used to have no problem using Tinder. I used to like meeting a guy off it, going on dates for him for a couple of weeks then maybe going back to his place. Then moving on to meet a different guy after a while.

I didn't want commitment. We were all on the understanding that it was casual dating. And everything was good. I haven't met any really awful men.

However when the Grace millane casehappened , it made me think a bit differently. She met a man off tinder , went back to his hotel room, nd he murdered her.
She didn't do anything wrong at all by using tinder or going back to his hotel, the man was just a vicious killer.

However it's made me more aware of my own safety. How do I know what these guys on tinder are really like. Do you think it's safe to go to a hotel with these men after a couple of weeks of dating.

I know people can be murdered by someone they know for a long time.

But the Grace millane case has definitely affected how I see tinder. Do you guys think it's a safe platform to use?

I don’t think it’s Tinder that is the issue. I think it’s wise to get to know someone first before being alone with them. That would apply too if you’d just met in a bar etc.
With any dating there comes a point where you have to decide that you’re comfortable being alone together and obviously it’s a leap of faith whenever you do it. And I guess it makes things extra complicated for people who just want casual sex (no judgement)

I don't think it is more safe or dangerous than any other way of meeting men. You should always exercise caution.

I used to like meeting a guy off it, going on dates for him for a couple of weeks then maybe going back to his place.

I don't see how doing this with a guy from tinder is any more or less safe than with a guy you met at the gym, or at a bar or wherever.
