On a first date she invited you in?
Not all first meetings were at my home or hers. Of those that were, or if not a first meeting but still first time to have picked her up or dropped her off, yes, I would be inside. Same goes for first time at my house.

I can imagine that individual travel time, possibly age, or having children might change this, but It's been an unbroken pattern, for me.

Perhaps I am socially inept, but it didn't seem like inviting a first date into my empty abode before the date would be all that appropriate or interesting to do. What would we do? Watch TV? Have a drink before driving to a restaurant where we'd have another drink perhaps with dinner?
In my case it is usually waiting while the other person actually gets ready, and / or to show then around the house.

To decide where to go or what to eat, also.

I can see it being easier to leave immediately when the trip was short in the first place, but once the online meetings are 60 minutes or longer away from each other, and often on Friday evening after two uncertain workplace departure times, it's tough to get that coordinated.

I have never had a first meeting with an online dating situation start at my house.

All the first dates where I got picked up at my place were preonline, people I already kind of knew, and we were heading to somewhere else kind of on a schedule I guess. Ie, leave now or be late for the movie type thing.
