If you have finally met someone with whom you are compatible, then you should consider yourself to be very lucky. It takes many people years to find that special someone. The Internet is the most common place for finding your soul mate, and more than likely this is also how you found your significant other. After spending weeks talking to each other, you both might have agreed to finally meet in person. There are some things to consider before meeting them offline for the first time.
Above all, do not feel pressured to meet them. Any person who threatens to cut off communication if you do not meet is not worth your time. Hopefully, if you are both considering an in-person meeting, then you have done enough background research to make sure that he or she is trustworthy. If you have decided that the person is safe enough to meet in person, then suggest a public place and bring one of your friends. This is especially crucial if you are a woman. If your online significant other is serious enough about you, then they will understand, and they will accommodate your wishes. If you both consider going to another place after meeting, then drive separate cars.
Until you know the person very well, do not agree to a date that requires hiking or going to any remote place. It would be best to have a short initial meeting. If, after meeting the person, you are sure that you will not want to see them again, then a short coffee date will not be as painful as a long date. If you are sure that you would not wish to meet again, then be honest at the end of the date when they ask for a second meeting. The last thing to consider is that if you are traveling a long distance to meet the person, do not give them the name of your hotel. Just in case the person follows you back to your hotel without your knowledge, you can ask the hotel staff to not reveal to anyone that you are staying there.
