But if you mention it to your "date", I am sure it would be no problem for her to pick up them at the local drug store. I know I wouldn't mind. (as long as they are a reputable brand).

This precauction is for your safety as much as hers..
I am sure you would agree

Its not personal...just good business sense!

Some providers (not myself) may also have issues such as a latex allergy, or a sensitivity to some kind of lubricant, flavored condoms etc. A provider friend of mine is allergic to latex and for that reason she insists on always bringing her own.

It's not too paranoid to think that a client might have tampered with a condom.  I have heard horror stories of guys poking pinholes in them, so that they break and end up doing BBFS with providers.

It's rare, but it does happen.

After you have made a date, mention your desire. That way it's not a surprise.
