Badoo meetup advice

15 replies

Hey all. Just after a little reassurance. Ive been online dating for all of lockdown. Not been single for a few years and a little rusty when it comes to dating.

Ive been talking to a few guys on Badoo. I really like one and he wants to meet but we've been sexting for a week or so. I must admit, im ready for some action... Do I just go for it.

He seems nice but im sure we will have sex when we meet.

If you want no-strings fun, then go ahead and insist on safe sex. Just take care with your personal safety and don't go anywhere without telling a friend. If you meet and it feels 'off' then run for the hills. This is easier to achieve in a pub than a hotel room. Do a bit of googling to find out about the man. Badoo doesn't have a good reputation for long term relationships, but if its a fling you want then go ahead.

As long as you are happy and comfortable. Also remember he is a stranger so if you do go to meet him, tell someone so they know where you are etc .

Are you both wanting a FWB situation?

Thanks for the replies. I do want a relationship, but I also think I need to get out there, maybe have fun. im sure that's what he is thinking.

He has offered to book us a B&B in the lakes. But I don't drive so would be stuck with him for a few days. Maybe I'll sugest we meet for a drink first. never know, I might be the one that can't keep my hands off him.

Sounds like a great start. Enjoy!

That's good, probably the B&B was a bit full on for a first date 😁

hi all, update. Its not worked out :(. He's gone quiet on me!

Well it did work out because you had some fun with him. He wasn't looking for more than that. Otherwise he wouldn't have started off with the sex convo. If you want to go down the bit if fun route, don't expect it to last. Infact, it's better if it's just one or two nights because then there no chance of being messed about.

Onwards and upwards op.
