Meeting someone from the internet: what do you tell your family?

In Bengaluru this is still a thing. How honest are you about how you met?

If they can't do a short call first, that tells you something.

Book something with an end: a gallery that closes at six, a class that finishes.

Don't push through. Say it was nice, finish your coffee, go home.

Meet in daylight the first time. Everything else can follow.
