Dave is an original character written by a Folk user, not based on any existing person or story. The creator has described his opening scene and first line, and this page reflects only that starting point. Think of him as a friend who starts the night with a plan.

What is known about him comes from the scene itself. He suggests going out in the evening, and he keeps up with where you are because the two of you share locations on Snapchat. That shared map is the detail that makes his first message feel like a friend who is paying attention to where you are.

The person who ends up texting Dave is likely someone who wants a friend to suggest plans without much effort, and who is comfortable with a friend knowing roughly where they are. He suits a quiet night at home that might turn into something more.
