#1) SHARE YOUR LOCATION

Alright ladies sharing your location is the most important thing for Tinder dates whether it’s just a hookup or nice date out. To share your location you can do this through Google Maps, my friends app for iphone users and Whatsapp. Always share your location with your friend group and at least one person out of the city your college is in. Having fun should always be safe. SO when going out remember to share that location sis. 

 

#2) TELL ONE TRUSTED PERSON THE DETAILS

Now everyone has your location, but who is really stalking their friends locations? In all friend groups have that one trusted friend that you keep posted throughout the night. A one to two hour check in is always good to have when going on Tinder dates. 

 

#3) CARRY THE EMERGENCY CREDIT CARD

Now this is important. If the date goes south please always have the credit card on deck so the Uber is outside and ready to get you. There have been so many scenarios where the guy takes you out and pulls the gender equality card. What happened to courtship? – nonetheless, we are bosses, so swiping the American Express or the Discover to cover this will never hurt. 

 

#4) HAVE A PORTABLE CHARGER

Now this relates back to number 1. No one can find a dead or powered off phone. On Tinder dates you never want your phone to die – trust me, we can’t see the smoke signal. A portable charger or even a charging phone case is so essential. With data and bluetooth usage from those airpods you want to be able to order that Uber or Lyft. 

 

#5) WEAR YOUR FAVORITE FRAGRANCE 

Now Tinder is all fun and games, but make an impression. Everyone has that special scent that makes them feel like a baddie. Personally, A Thousand Wishes by Bath&BodyWorks is my favorite.
