I am quite new to online dating scene. So we match, chat for a while and then meetup, pretty standard, nothing fancy. The problem is that I can't take anyone to my place, because of some problem with logistics that I don't want to elaborate here.

If a date goes well, I generally end up making out in the car. But when I say that I can't take anyone to my place, instead I want to go to her place, it kills the mood (so far I think). Then after a couple of days I get ghosted. Please note that I am also new to western dating etiquette. So my questions are,

  1. Is not being able to bring anyone to my place considered a turn off? or in other words, does this create a trust issue?
  2. Am I getting ghosted because of this? What is the general norm? "Man takes a woman to his place"?

Please help.
