Arrange meetings in public places, eg restaurants, pubs, etc - not in your home.
Don't give your address until you are sure that you want to continue the relationship.
Trust your instincts and don't meet again if you have any doubts.
On your first meetings, it is best to make your own way to and from the venue. It is best not to accept an offer of transport.
Leave details of your meeting with family or friends when seeing someone for the first time.
These points may seem over-cautious but if the person you meet is genuine, s/he will understand.
