Go to a busy place and make sure a friend knows where you are... and set a time that you will call him or her to let them know how you are.
Do you know what he looks like?
Also, for the 1st time... I would say, don't leave with him to anywhere.... and don't take the "normal" route home... just in case. NOT trying to scare you... just be on your toes.
Shane & I meet online and so did my Sister & her guy.... so it CAN work out....
