How to reply when she says my roommate says I should be careful with guys from apps

When she brings up her roommate, she is not usually asking for a formal answer. She is watching how you handle a little pressure. A message that says "my roommate says be careful" is her saying she has a reason to be cautious and she wants to see whether you respect it. The tone matters a lot. If she is teasing, she wants you to tease back lightly and keep it fun. If she is flat or a little serious, she wants you to slow down and not make it a bigger deal than it is.

The warning also tells you where she is starting from. She is likely a little on guard, which means the early messages carry more weight than they would with a friend. Anything that feels like pressure, like repeated questions about meeting or a push to move off the app, will land as confirmation of what the roommate said. Anything that feels easy and unhurried will quietly lower her guard.

The reply that fits this moment acknowledges the caution in a sentence and then points the conversation back to something she cares about. One kind of message agrees the caution is reasonable and says you would expect nothing less. Its job is to show you are not offended. Another kind makes a light joke about the roommate being a good judge of character, which works only if you keep it short and do not mock anyone. A third kind asks her a real question about her week or what she does, so the warning becomes background and the conversation becomes about her.

You can tell a draft is right when it has one line of acknowledgment and then something that invites a real answer. It should leave out any proof of your character, any list of reasons you are trustworthy, and any mention of the roommate's opinion beyond a passing nod. If your draft is mostly about you being safe, cut it down.

After this kind of exchange, pace matters more than wording. Send your reply at a normal time of day, not late at night when it reads as a move. If she answers warmly, match her energy and keep the next message light. If she answers short or waits a while, do not chase with a second explanation of why you are safe. One follow-up a day or two later with a simple question about her week is enough. If she still does not engage, let it go and stop texting. A clear, low-pressure exit is better than a string of messages she has to dodge.
