so,i met a guy on the bus the other day and due to the roadworks we were on there for ages together.We talked and found out we had a few things in common and we were both single.We swapped numbers,he said he'd ring me and he did and he wants us to go on a date on sunday.I'm a bit nervous tho as i dont know him.He could turn out to be a rapist or a mugger.I may be over-reacting,what would you do? I think he's good looking i'm just nervous as it's like meeting someone off the internet.Please help.

Not sure why it's any different to meeting a guy in a bar, or coffee shop. i.e. the way people have been meeting each other for years.
Sensible precautions would be - make sure a friend knows where you are and who with.
Meet in a public place, and stay in public for your date. And seeing as a nice girl like you would never go back to his place until you are married that won't be a problem.
However if it wasn't such a nice girl, I'd suggest taking him back to yours rather than vice versa.
All should be fine
Have a great time

If you are meeting Sunday, meet in the day time at a public place and tell somebody where you are going and an estimated time you will be back.
This is the same precautions you should take with any kind off blind date, and maybe have a back up plan that a friend will pop along after half an hour to an hour to help if the situation gets strange.
Good luck on your date and relax, it is normal to be nervous but remember to enjoy yourself and relax you will have a nicer time.

No biggie. Go on a daytime "date" with him say at lunchtime and you meet him where ever you both agree. Keep it short; 1-2 hours. In that time you'll be better able to judge if you really want to date the guy. It's only lunch; it will be in a public place and you will have your own transportation. OH..and tell someone where you're going and whom you will be meeting (leave his number with someone else). Just to be cautious...public first date is best especially if you're nervous. Godloveya and have a good time.

There's not much you can do about being nervous. However, meeting him at a public place and making sure you have your cell on ya won't hurt. You must not be TOO uncomfortable with this guy or you wouldn't have accepted his offer. So just relax and have a good time.

You can't be too sure these days. If you think you'd like to meet him still, instead of a date, make it coffee. Make sure you meet him in a public place & keep it short. Say you need to meet a friend. And make sure a friend knows about it and who he is and is there to meet you. Determine the meeting place in advance and meet there. Have your friend turn up too after a while.

Go and see what happens but make sure plenty of people know where you are going and what time you are expecting to be home. Also go to somewhere very public so there's lots of people about. And don't do anything you don't want to do. One step at a time and just be on your guard until you are 100% sure of this person.
We all have to meet somebody somewhere. Otherwise we'd all be single but just be sensible about where you meet etc.

I think you should go, since your initial meeting was fortuitous and positive and you both seem to really like each other.
What you can do is tell friends and family who, when, where you're meeting and what time you expect to be home.
Then, also mention to HIM, casually, when you meet that others are aware of this meeting--where, when, who, etc. It leaves a trail that helps protect you.

Arrange to meet him in a public place, make your own way there and back, just to test the water or you could see if he wants to double date , take a friend .

Meet up in a busy area, with lots of people around and stay that way the entire evening.
