Is your date suggesting their house on a first date a warning sign?

[palmtree33]

Is a date suggesting their house for a first date weird or is it ok? Or should I suggest my house instead? Or just go somewhere public?

For so many reasons - don't ever do this.

At best, he can't be bothered to make an effort / travel somewhere.
At worst, he could be dangerous and you would be walking in to the lion's den.
It's likely he's just expecting sex and doesn't want to make the effort of dressing up and having a meal out first.

None of those options are appealing.

Don't go to someone's house when you don't know them properly. Don't invite someone to your house if you don't know them properly.

No way.
Unless you want to get murdered, laid or you like cheap-skate fuckers.

I don't know how you can seriously be asking this?

Change the word "a date" where you have used it to mean the person, and change it to "a stranger."

Is it a good idea to go into to a stranger's house on your own? Answer: No

Is it a good idea to invite a stranger into your own home? Answer: No

Is it a good idea to go on a date with a stranger who suggested you have the date in their home? Answer: No

This.

This reminds me of a time I told an online potential date that I liked swimming and then some time later they suggested we go skinny dipping as a first date...

I politely explained that I had never met them so why on earth would I go somewhere secluded enough to go skinny dipping with them, never mind actually go skinny dipping with a stranger.

At that point I was prepared to still meet them if they had gone with a horrified "I had never thought about how vulnerable women are" type thing. I have had a man do something that made me uncomfortable before, I explained why, they were horrified and had just not considered it and then never did it again. This man got in a grump, told me I was overreacting and why was I being so ridiculous. Unsurprisingly he got blocked.

I'd treat a suggestion of going to someone's house the same way - say no, explain why and if they're suitably apologetic consider meeting them still. If not, ditch fast.

OP OLD advice - these men are strangers, you don't know them and you don't owe them anything! - no explanation, no reason, or anything else. You only do what you do and if it doesn't fit in with you, your morals, your life, your time - Don't do it. No apology, No excuses.

Trust me, you will attract more men who are respectful and worthy of your time

Would never meet at a strangers house and wouldn't feel comfortable to going to a dates house until at least the 4th date.

Highly likely they are lazy, tight, boring and just want a shag, and they might murder you.

Depends. If it was someone I'd known for a while and/or was already friends with, then a first date in the comfort of your own home with a nice meal and a film afterwards is actually quite nice in my opinion. None of that pressure of being in public.

If it was someone I barely knew, then definitely not.

What a lazy bastard and cheap skate, also a potential dangerous one too boot.

No. Red flag. He could have his mates there. It’s so unsafe I can’t believe you are asking.

A warning sign that they want some sex???? Yes

If someone suggested this to me I'd block them. So out of order.
