The decent person in you is tempted to consider suggesting that you two meet somewhere in public for your first meeting with this guy.

After all, his dating profile was nice enough and you are worried that in habitually unmatching with guys like this, you may be missing out on guys of quality.

Notwithstanding, your immediate instinct is to immediately unmatch with a guy on a dating app who suggests a movie date at his place for a first date.

Subconsciously, you know that it doesn’t sound right.

Your immediate instinct is correct.

It doesn’t sound right.

Suggesting a movie date at his place wreaks of a guy who is solely intent on hooking up with you.

This isn’t the one time he has suggested this to a woman on a dating app.

Some of those women have agreed to it and gone over to his place for said movie date.

This has emboldened him to persist in this behavior with a hodgepodge of women.

It is of no consequence that this tactic has worked for him in the past with women, what is of consequence is how you feel about it.

Even in the event that all you are looking for is a hookup, you still need to practice safety first.

This means that meeting him in a public place is a must beforehand.

If you are looking for a long-term relationship, this guy isn’t the right candidate for that, as his mindset is completely fixated on hooking up.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that there is something more to him.

No doubt, he has been charming so far as you have chatted with him on the dating app, but it’s merely a means to an end.

Women make the mistake of thinking that a movie date at his place is their way of showing him that they are game for whatever.

She hooks up with him during the course of that first date and returns to her home feeling conflicted.

Her mistake was in never being completely clear about why she joined a dating app.

When he suggested a movie date at his place, she figured that saying yes wasn’t a big deal, given her confusion of knowing exactly why she was on a dating app.

That movie date at his home ended with casual sex and as she leaves for her home, she doesn’t know what this means.

Unbeknownst to her, she has put herself in an impossible situation.

Ushering in her relationship with this guy by journeying to his place for a supposed movie date, unwittingly set the tone for their exchange.

From here on out, he is strictly looking at her as someone he hooks up with and nothing beyond that.

This is why you must know what you want when you join a dating app.

No ambiguity.

Where your sole intention is to hook up and you feel an attraction for the guy, practice safety first by suggesting to meet up with him at a public place before considering going back to his place.

On the flip side, should you be seeking a long-term relationship, venturing to his place so soon sends the absolutely wrong message, and regardless of how much you try to get the guy to look at you as long-term relationship material after the fact, he won’t.

He is stuck on the immediate impression you gave him and can’t see past that.
