My Two Cents...
If you're on dating apps... please, a moment of your time.
The world's an open and exciting place and apps helps us meet companions, lovers, and perhaps soulmates.
They also help criminals meet their next victims.
The story below is current, in NYC (where I live), and just gives me the creeps all around.
It also shares a woman's inventive solution to reaching out for help in an secretive way using the Grubhub app's "Delivery Instructions" textfield.
And it worked... Thank Goodness!
