It's really hard to tell sometimes, honestly when meeting someone new like that bring some form of protection if possible. Also tell someone where you will be and for how long so to know if you haven't come home or contacted anyone then something is wrong.
However, there are good people out there you would be surprised. I met my fiancé' online. We met on an...ahem adult dating site and connected quickly. He was one of the first like...30 guys or so that were trying to flirt with me. I had a seizure for the first time around then, he was the only one that thought something possibly happened and reached out to one of my friends on that site who could reach me directly. He took the extra step and made sure I was ok.
When I woke up because I was in a temporary coma for a bit, I didn't remember him. But, I did remember the feelings. That I would smile when I would read his messages and how he was literally different from every other guy on that site. We wanted the same things, we had big talks early on. We established what our goals were what we wanted in life and we matched amazingly. Getting married December and moving in with him November. He has been flying me out every month or him flying out here. My family loves him, his family seems to like me. As a survivor of domestic abuse, he is literally the exact opposite of what I had before and feel blessed.
Be safe, always be safe! Please first and fore most be safe let someone know where you're going to be and if any changes happen reach out. For a first meeting, have it be public and not for a super long time.
When he flew me out the first time, my family knew exactly what town where when, every detail. Even showed the tickets proving where I was going and everything. Best choice I ever made. Just be careful, you never know.
There are good, and bad people out there.
