Thanks guys. It's very interesting to hear the different perspectives. I'm wondering if you would have different responses if we were talking about inviting someone over you met on grindr? Maybe because of where I live I think really its not that much different in terms of the risk of having something bad happen and as I mentioned before if the profile is gold or verified maybe even safer. I just kinda wanted to see if I was being naive. Still working up the courage to hire

Interesting. I hadn't thought about the issues you raise. I was thinking more about perhaps petty crime, stealing or the like. I'm not sure really how I could be extorted but I'm sorry that happened to you. I hadn't thought about their being a problem using my phone either. How often do these sorts of things happen? I was actually thinking the risk would be lower than meeting someone at a bar. Does having a gold or verified RM profile and some reviews make you feel safer?

Hi All, I've been lurking around this forum for some time and really appreciate the friendly advice and nice atmosphere. I'm trying to get the courage to make my first appointment. I feel like I would feel more comfortable inviting someone to my home than arranging for a hotel. What are your thoughts? I live in West Hollywood so I don't think it will be too difficult to find someone close.
