Dear Fonseca
My date got mad and canceled our evening out at the last minute on Saturday. We met on Tinder and had been chatting for a week. Just before the date, she asked me to send her a picture of my driver's license and another form of ID such as a credit card. She said she wanted to do a background check before we went out so she would feel safe. I told her I wasn't comfortable sending personal information like that. She got mad and canceled. She said I was being unreasonable because she is new to the area and a single woman. I don't think anyone should give out their last name or personal information before a first date. We were meeting at a restaurant so it wasn't like I invited her over or I was going to her home. Was she wrong to cancel the date? Should I have sent the info? My friend says she may have been trying to scam me. What's the protocol for background checks?
