What to say

Questions

What does alternative mean here?

Whatever you both say it means. Ask, rather than treating a look as a relationship shape. Alternative, in Ireland, might mean non-monogamy, a music life, a look, or simple weariness with scripted apps. Ask which they mean, and the first message does not need a plan.

Is joining free?

No plan is required to join, browse, or send. Reading them back is the paid step. A membership opens the replies, and ask which they mean. Keep the first plan easy to leave, and the screen on messages is automatic.

Is there a list of venues?

No, name a public place you can leave, in the town you both mean. A list of clubs would be fiction, so pick a public place you can leave. Do not assume a person in Cork wants what a person in Dublin wants, and do not use a small-country joke to pry.

How do I end it if it is wrong?

In one clear message; report and block if they ignore that. Guessing from a photograph starts the conversation already wrong. Alternative might mean non-monogamy, a music life, a look, or weariness with scripted apps. A busy public place, your own way home, and a clear ending if the evening is not it.
