Throwaway because I didn't want this on my regular account. My question is pretty self-explanatory but here are some details for those interested!

I'm very close with my mom, as her only daughter and oldest child, and also am an avid Tinder user. However, these two worlds have never collided. I think I may have mentioned Tinder to my mom once or twice but brushed it off as a joke thing (I didn't want her getting on my back about it being "dangerous"). 

Over the last few weeks I've been getting closer with a gentleman on Tinder and we're trying to plan a date. This will be one of my first dates ever, actually, and I would love to tell my mom about it. I definitely need permission to go out in general, and I'd rather not lie. I'm just not sure how to broach the topic of online dating with my mother, since I expect her to have typical worries of "What if this is secretly a 50-year-old madman who is going to murder you," like many mothers (and fathers and sisters and brothers) have, I'm sure.

I'd love some advice from others who have told their parents about Tinder dates/online dates in general. Thanks in advance for the help!
