PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR LIVE MEETING

Use the same precautions for your first meeting as you would with any other meeting. You may feel like you know the person very well and can trust him/her, but the truth is that your don't really know each other until you meet and ultimately spend time together. 

For your first meeting, do the following:

1. Meet in a public place ( such as a restaurant, a museum, or a movie theater).
   
   
2. Meet during daytime.
   
   
3. Take a friend alone, for safety and also for an independent impression of the person.
