Don’t Argue My Boundaries
I started making TikToks recently about what my dating boundaries are and why I have them and there was a comment probably from an older single man, who argued with me to the point of making me feel like my boundaries might be wrong.
I’m here to tell you that nobodies boundaries are ever wrong.
So, What Are My Boundaries?
I don’t give out my phone number before I meet you in person.
Numbers can easily lead someone to finding addresses, parents info, kids info and so much more! Have you ever seen the show Catfish? They start with a phone number to find out where someone really is!
I Always Meet at a Location I’m familiar With
Usually, I know all the fire exits, where to park, where the restrooms are, if there are any creepy stairwells nearby, etc. This is just safety 101. Don’t go anywhere you’ve never been, with someone you’ve never met.
I drive myself.
Sure some chivalry is still alive. But if I haven’t met you, not only am I not going to give you my address to pick me up — but I’m not getting in your car for you to possibly take me where we didn’t agree upon. I also try to park in a very well lit location near the place we’re going. Especially if it’s at night.
I wait at least 3 dates to do a house-hang.
And sometimes it’s 5. It really just depends on my comfort level after 3 dates. If I see it going somewhere after 3 dates, then sure… come hangout.
And last but probably not least
If Someone Argues My Boundaries, They Get Blocked.
Because they obviously don’t respect my safety, or theirs.
