    US Embassy: Exercise caution when using dating apps

    You're right but I think you missed my point. Get the persons number from them personally, not an app.

    Eggs

    Yeah, rendered it down to an oil and covered the meat before closing up the barrel. Supposed to still be good after a few months. Quality is questionable however, and I wont try it.

    US Embassy: Exercise caution when using dating apps

    If your phone works for the app it should work for the number, right? Well, unless you're still on the plane.

    US Embassy: Exercise caution when using dating apps

    Not to turn this into a dating site, but there are safer ways. Have the person take their phone and call you. Your phone in front of you. You have the proper number and the name. Better than one for the local fishmonger.
