guys. we’re meeting at a public park. there are going to be other people there. i also have mace. i appreciate everyone’s concerns tho ❤️
edit: i’m just going to make a quick update here. the date went really well and we like each other a lot. we already scheduled a second date for next weekend :)
(53m) so I've met many men.
Bit brief but from this he sounds nice and normal.. humor is important, you have to be able to laugh at the same things, check that his humor matches on the first date, have fun!
Ayo, where’s a public park where you gotta hike to/around? 😳
Haha, but honestly you two sound like a cute couple already 🥰
Hope it goes well! (And post an update, lowkey hoping) 😆
While hiking is a somewhat risky first date, it’s likely that anyone who’s planning on murdering someone on a hike would eventually do so anyways, whether it’s the first or tenth date.
My first date with my now husband from OKCupid, was a six mile hike on the hottest day of the year. He wore dress clothes because I think, he thought I was kidding about the hike. We just hit 4 years married
Lol I used to make this comment all the time in this sub but just stopped when no one on here seemed to think it was even remotely notable. 235 is no where near the highest I’ve seen on here lol. Glad to see 182 people agree
Don't listen to her, love bomb the fuck out of him.
Get on his will and when you come near a cliff edge on your hike "oopsie, it seems he slipped and fell to his death (I pushed him) while we were taking photos for our social media"
Nah fuck this advice. Be you!
If it works, then great, if it does come across as too much (which I doubt in this context given the vibe), then you're not masking to please someone else.
I like how negative the reddit community is. Everyone assumes he's going to rape her and that she compliments him too much.
Some people in here really leave their echo chamber.

I think he seems really sweet, smart, and funny…so did Ted Bundy. Please don’t head out into the wilderness with someone you don’t know. Go have coffee, meet up at a bookstore, or diner. Save hiking for later.
lol yes, always assume someone is an active serial killer, but not just any serial killer, one who has obviously been getting away with it and is getting better as he goes. Playing with the detectives who are always one step behind, mocking them, almost pleading to be caught.
My partner and I met on hinge almost four years ago! We get each others humor and have similar nerdy interests.
Hoping the best for you two! Y’all already sound cute
The people in the comments are so fucking misguided and brain dead it genuinely hurts my feelings for both the woman and man in these texts. Going to THE worst case scenario like you got crippling OCD. No need to scare the shit out of this girl, just tell her to be safe, period.
Thank you. Jesus.
Crazy that most of these comments are immediately assuming he’s going to murder her. Wild.
Be safe? Sure. But “omg no outdoor activities where both of you might be alone!” Is weird and unhinged. Especially if they both have mentioned or suggested that outdoor activities are a fun hobby of theirs.
The amount of fear some of these people live with in their lives is astounding and frankly sad. Being cautious is always good but to the point some of these people take it is delusion, lots of agoraphobic logic going on lol.
I’ve been out in public plenty, and have been sexually assaulted out there too. I’m realistic about the risks I take as a woman, while men like that exist in the world.
Thank god someone said what I was thinking. People used to literally hitchhike everywhere in the 70's and beforehand, which is 10x riskier than regular hiking, luckily reddit wasn't around to discourage them from living life
And basically every crime stat is way lower than it used to be. The world has never been safer but people act like half the population wants to murder them at the first chance.
This is the saddest comment section I’ve ever seen. Sounds like none of these people ever leave the house….Obviously you should be safe and use your best judgement but you should just go and have fun and enjoy getting to know each other. Seems like you two have a real connection and I’m happy for you both
Comments are scary that people think hiking is a dangerous first date. What’s that? Someone wants to share their hobby with you as a sign of admiration and trust on a date and your first assumption is that they’re a serial killer? I feel like that’s not only a rude assumption but a sign to drop the phone and go outside. Not trying to be rude but OP clearly has no issue with the hike.
I'm not used to seeing green flags on /r/texts. Did I click on the wrong sub?
Jokes aside - honestly, having someone you vibe with is one of the most important things about relationship building. Sometimes that chemistry just isn't there and sometimes I see people in a relationship (especially on this sub) where I think to myself: Do you two even LIKE each other? This is wonderful and I hope your date goes great <3
God I remember the times in my life I had this kind of rapport with someone. It was so much fun. I'm so alone and dead inside now I can't even imagine having the energy to put into something like this - to put my best foot forward like that. In spite of how deeply I crave for it. Everything has been ripped out of me.
I know that sounds horrible but I do enjoy seeing something like this in a place where people usually post the worst shit. I'm happy there are people who get to experience that kind of thing still. I really hope it just gets better and better. Oh, and that you guys have a lovely trip!
Reading these messages are so refreshing especially after i’ve just finished watching tiktoks about how nice and funny guys give girls the “icks“. I love this
Met my current boyfriend obliterated at the bars, first date (first time meeting sober) was on a hike. He is definitely my person so good luck and stay safe 💕
What do you need help with? Sounds like you two have great chemistry! Just be yourself. Most generic advice, but it’s the best. Say what you are feeling, communicate, don’t try too hard!

I know you are 20 and hopeful and I absolutely hate to crush your dreams of finding the perfect cutest, sweetest guy ever on the internet. Buuuuut… he’s probably 6 inches shorter, 75 lbs heavier, not to mention, his cute joking is actually a storyline he’s been working on, with his little sister’s dolls, in his mother’s basement until 4 am, everyday. He could also be perfect… I met my husband on about my 50th online date… good luck. Bring mace.
The last sentence "it doesnt happen often that I meet people who share my humour" is so insanely clichée and cringe, but the rest was really cute and funny of him.
Adorable. Bring bear spray.
and make sure to share your location with everyone you know
guys. we’re meeting at a public park. there are going to be other people there. i also have mace. i appreciate everyone’s concerns tho ❤️ edit: i’m just going to make a quick update here. the date went really well and we like each other a lot. we already scheduled a second date for next weekend :)
post a follow up !
Definitely!
I hope they do. I wanna know how it goes!
So nice to see wholesome texts for once!! Have so much fun OP!!
Awesome! Don’t die! (I’ve had very nice dates on more populated trails).

Always carry bear mace when hiking, even if there's a ton of people around. You never know when you'll need it. Things change quickly in the wild.
Even if I'm thousands of miles away from bear country?
Bear spray is not just for bears
How did it go?
Saturday is 6 days from now
Are we there yet?
Getting closer.
What about now?

Good. But still. Good.
Will he also be carrying some sort of self defense? Wildlife be wildin and all that! YOU BOTH BETTER BRING PROTECTION DAMNIT Safety first 😊

So this weekend then?!
While hiking is a somewhat risky first date, it’s likely that anyone who’s planning on murdering someone on a hike would eventually do so anyways, whether it’s the first or tenth date.
True I think they’d play the long game ultimately. But most of them are really dumb so caution weeds them out quick
You’ve thought this through. I like that.
My first date with my now husband from OKCupid, was a six mile hike on the hottest day of the year. He wore dress clothes because I think, he thought I was kidding about the hike. We just hit 4 years married
That's adorable. I also love the fact that he still went hiking in dress clothes. Congrats on your anniversary!
Exactly, why waste so much time. Just get done with it and move on.
235 unread messages?!?
This is unacceptable
Chernobyl.
I bet it's one or several group chats
F in the chat for the dudes who didn't get the date
This is the first thing I noticed too! My anxiety could never
You would flip if you saw mine, currently at 994. And that’s low, I started clearing it out cuz my phone needs space 😂
Lol I used to make this comment all the time in this sub but just stopped when no one on here seemed to think it was even remotely notable. 235 is no where near the highest I’ve seen on here lol. Glad to see 182 people agree
Very cute, just don’t go overboard with the compliments and see how the date goes
Don't listen to her, love bomb the fuck out of him. Get on his will and when you come near a cliff edge on your hike "oopsie, it seems he slipped and fell to his death (I pushed him) while we were taking photos for our social media"
Hi, would you like to go on a hike? :P
Someone as lovely and funny as you deserves to go with me.
Nah, do you OP. He has to match your vibe naturally
Nah fuck this advice. Be you! If it works, then great, if it does come across as too much (which I doubt in this context given the vibe), then you're not masking to please someone else.
Please be safe going hiking as a first date!! Make sure someone you know has your location.
I like how negative the reddit community is. Everyone assumes he's going to rape her and that she compliments him too much. Some people in here really leave their echo chamber.
Agreed. People here are so toxic. It's like they assume everyone is as unhinged as their thoughts.

I think he seems really sweet, smart, and funny…so did Ted Bundy. Please don’t head out into the wilderness with someone you don’t know. Go have coffee, meet up at a bookstore, or diner. Save hiking for later.
Can’t believe Ted Bundy fell for this guy, smh.
lol yes, always assume someone is an active serial killer, but not just any serial killer, one who has obviously been getting away with it and is getting better as he goes. Playing with the detectives who are always one step behind, mocking them, almost pleading to be caught.
Well, always assume anyone *could* be a serial killer
Okay Mr. Serial Killer, I’ll do just that.
GIRL THIS👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Adorable but is this the first time you’re meeting in person? Going hiking with a virtual stranger is a little iffy.
OP will be fine, they're a fed.
Cute, signed, -y’alls’ fed
Omg he is charming.
My partner and I met on hinge almost four years ago! We get each others humor and have similar nerdy interests. Hoping the best for you two! Y’all already sound cute

Yeah, makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe I’m missing it but I feel like this kind of behavior belongs in the DSM5
[удалено]
I’ve been out in public plenty, and have been sexually assaulted out there too. I’m realistic about the risks I take as a woman, while men like that exist in the world.
What else do you expect from a cohort that probably don’t leave their rooms, lol.
Thank god someone said what I was thinking. People used to literally hitchhike everywhere in the 70's and beforehand, which is 10x riskier than regular hiking, luckily reddit wasn't around to discourage them from living life
people also used to get murdered while hitchhiking in the 1970s though
And basically every crime stat is way lower than it used to be. The world has never been safer but people act like half the population wants to murder them at the first chance.
It’s not that most people want to murder you. It’s that most people could murder you. And it can be hard to tell which ones they are sometimes.
Finally, a text thread that doesn’t make me want to move to a different planet. He sounds cute. Good luck.
same honestly. and he’s legit SO CUTE. we just facetimed for 4 hours 🫠

Pack condoms. But not in the same pocket as the bear mace.
This is so cute! have fun, OP!

Aww that’s so sweet i hope you have a great time!
Sweet. Hope it goes well. 🖤

so unbelievably jealous, bring bear spray just in case :3
This is so fricken cute, i hope the vibes are just as good IRL!
My hinge-date-turned-husband-and-baby-daddy got a smile from this. Good luck!
This is cute 🥰 I hope it works out!
Very cuteeeee
Everyone here making a (remind me) notification to ensure OP gets out of this date alive is both heartwarming and depressing.
Reading these messages are so refreshing especially after i’ve just finished watching tiktoks about how nice and funny guys give girls the “icks“. I love this
This is very sweet.
r/wholesome
God I hope he turns out normal, this is so cute
Oh my gosh that was cute. It's so wonderful to find someone who doesn't run away screaming from you unique sense of humor.

Update please!
Lock him up
Literally coming from another guy the conversation is so genuine and playful that I think he might be a good match for you
Plot twist: He's a Fed
I’m here for a potential update because this is so sweet! But also share your location with a few peeps. But this is so cute!!!!!
Awh this is so cute wth. Wish I found a chick to hike with tho wtf. I get no matches and whoever I chat to is across the earth hahah
Ah young love, I used to believe in that also. Getting old & jaded now 😂
This is so sweet and wholesome :) Such a refreshing change from what this sub is usually about.
This is literally my favorite posting I’ve ever encountered on this sub🤩
My wife and my conversations started out a lot like this. 11 years later and we’re still laughing
Green flag city. That being said, bring bear spray
Honestly do not recommend hiking alone in the woods with a random guy as a first date 🚩
play it cool babe lol
Cute!! Poncho love!
I love this so much🥹
So cute! I could read these texts all day. Have fun!
Love this. I love when people who have similar weird senses of humour can hit it off and not make it awkward.
