Nowadays we meet a lot of people online, and then we meet them face to face. Once online dating was weird, now it is the most effective way to find your partner. If you meet someone for the first time, it is better to meet him/her in a public place where you can talk and have a good time.
You can go with your friends. Visiting someone at home for the first time is not recommended considering your safety because you do not know for sure who you are talking online.
