Is there a risk in meeting someone you don't know?

Meeting up at a public place
Super casual
Will probably end up being a group thing


Has anyone had a bad experience or are there any dangers I have not considered??

The way you're going about it is the absolute best way that I know of. It helps if you make sure they don't follow you home :wink:

Oh, and be sure you're letting others you know where you're going, what he looks like, etc...

there is certainly a risk. there have been bad experiences.
it is an excellent idea to make it public with an easy way
out for you - and also a great idea to have a friend along or
nearby - until you get a chance to know each other better of
course. no reasonable guy would object to this in any way!

Of course there is a risk. But there is also a risk going to work, to school, to the supermarket. Risk is what life is about.

Don't worry too much. I have personally met 30 or so people off line from various daring sites. It's really not as bad as the media makes it out to be.

But it sounds like you are taking all the right precautions though. You just make sure that you have been talking to this person a while,

thank you, thank you for your responses.. I thought it would be nice to see where everyone else was coming from when it came down to it.. We are all cautious when it comes to strangers- that's the way it should be
