Alternative might mean non-monogamy, a music life, a look, or weariness with scripted apps. Ask which they mean. The first message does not need a plan. A membership opens the replies. Ask which they mean. Guessing from a photograph starts the conversation already wrong.

Keep the first plan easy to leave. The screen on messages is automatic. If the fit is wrong, say so in one sentence.
What to say
-
Ask which
Non-monogamy, music, a look, or weariness with other apps. The word does not pick for you.

Dublin is not Cork
Say the city you can reach. A small country is not one room with one taste.

Easy to leave
A busy public place, your own way home, and a clear ending if the evening is not it.
Questions
What does alternative mean here?

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.
