Advice for meeting up with someone in person met through an online dating service?

I met this girl last week, through the free online dating service plentyoffish.com. She wants to meet in person. I have talked to her online and on the phone, and she seems okay. She lives out of my state, but only a half hour drive away. The strange things is that she says she is 34 lives with her parents does drive, but has no access to a car. I guess I would have to come to her parents house and pick her up and go out somewhere if I decide to meet her. When I have met potential dates before it has always been in public places, where we both brought our own transportation. Since it is the gentlemen thing to do, I will drive with a girl who I met in person before on a date, since I know a little bit more about them. But this situation just seems awkward and uncomfortable for me. I am not sure if I should meet her this way or not. This where I think dating sites are just not cracked up to what they claim and definetly not worth what they charge!

Public Comments

1. i personally wouldnt even pick up a stranger in their home even if its a first meeting. honestly, you dont really have to if you dont feel comfortable enough to pick her up in her home, just tell her the time and place (in a public place) where there is accessible transportation available. its good to exercise common sense and precaution. Dont offer the ride if she doesnt ask for it! Good luck. :)
2. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. be careful, have her to suggest a public place in her hometown. tell her to meet you there. this will put the pressure off of you. then if if doesn't work out, you can end the date.
4. She lives with her parents at 34 because she was just released from a mental hospital because they needed the extra bed.
5. uhm. find a girl where you actually met in person. online stuff is so lame.
6. Unless you are 30 something you can go but if you 16-22 don't
7. My suggestion would be that if you feel uncomfortable, then don't go through with it -- whatever "it" is. In this case, the "it" is meeting a stranger at her parent's home in unfamiliar territory. Trust your gut instinct. :) However, you could suggest to her that she find a way to meet you at a restaurant in between where you both live, or you unfortuantely won't be able to meet her. I'd trust your initial reaction and keep looking. Best wishes.
8. If you only just started talking to her a week ago, what's the rush in meeting her? And that is a little odd that she says she's 34, but still lives at home and has no access to a car. I would wait it out and see how things progress over the phone/e-mail/whatever before you meet her. When and if you do, i totally agree; have her meet you somewhere. There's no reason for you to be picking her up. If she doesn't have a car, tell her to ask a friend or something. It's definitely a little fishy....
