However, about the dinner part: If the guy's meeting the girl for the first time, going to his place for dinner is not safe for the girl. I don't have anything against it but as a 1-3 date rule, I never do. I need to see this guy's not a maniac from a safety point of view.
From a guy's point of view, this experience depends on your own level of attractiveness. For a guy, if you are doing online dating or cold approaching and getting new tinder matches every day, or going out and grabbing a bunch of numbers every day, you can afford to screen out girls for easier dates. Girls that are too picky or want to be a challenge just get tossed aside in favor of easier more appealing options. The majority of women are not going to be very excited for a house date immediately, but there are going to be girls that know exactly what is going down and if they think you are hot enough and you are not crude or pushy about it, they will be willing to do close to anything. This makes the screening process much easier, as a date that starts at your house, is a much easier date to pull off and takes next to no effort.
Also you should keep in mind when on dates that it isn't how long you make a guy wait that makes him decide if you're a keeper, it is how much of a connection he feels with you. I know for myself I'm an absolute sucker for goofy girls that are confident enough to joke around and tease me, without that element there I will rarely end up actually dating a girl. Typically however as long as physical attraction is there, that is usually good enough for a guy to want to sleep with you. If there is no connection there, but there is physical attraction, holding a guy off for a few more dates really just delays how long until he gets what he came for and slowly starts falling off the grid. If there is nothing in common and no enjoyment around being together besides the sex, then typically that is all the relationship will be unless the guy is desperate and clinging in there because he has no other options.

Secondly, if I'm meeting a guy (from online dating), I prefer earlier in the day, around 6-7 PM. Again, I don't want to leave the bar with a parking lot empty and the guy following me. This is strictly from a safety point.
There is no ambiance at 6pm, where is your sense of romance girl? Bring some mace if you're scared and call a girlfriend before you go so she knows where you are. It's good to be careful but at a certain point it starts to be ridiculous if you won't even go out during the evening on a date. Candle lit cocktail lounges in the evening are so much more fun and classy then local pubs/restaurants and coffee dates are absolutely terrible if you don't like coffee.
