That's what I was thinking. A trap? Like Buffalo Bill from silence of the lambs trap.
Admiral Akbar!
When I did OLD, I preferred "coffee dates" for the first meetup. But it really didn't have to be coffee. Even a quick lunch at a place like Panera where you are typically only there for about 30 minutes would work. I met one guy at a bar for drinks, it was essentially like a coffee date.
I like the quick date for a first meeting from OLD much for the same reasons others commented on--if it went poorly, it was over with quickly and if it went well, just make arrangements for a "real" date. And I was glad for it with that guy I met for drinks I mentioned, he was the worst jerk I ever went on a date with. Spent the whole time passive aggressively insulting me to the point where I slapped money on the bar and payed for the drinks and left. Only time I ever walked out on a date too (and he followed me into the parking lot and tried to get a kiss after insulting me all that time... yeah, like that's going to happen).

He was just a jerk... not a typical man by any means. I was just using it as an example of why I think (with OLD anyway) a "coffee date" or other quick date for a first meeting is best.

Scary. I'm not sure how many online guys I've met at this point (maybe 50 or so), but luckily nothing like that has ever happened. But yes, I wouldn't just walk out. I'd run!
He must live in a mental house because why would a guy want to waste him time like that? I can see a guy saying he is 5'11 but is actually 5'8 but not completely different looking
I honestly don't see how a coffee date is anything different than a lunch date, other than it's shorter. Even in regards to food, many coffee places also have sandwiches, salads, or at least snacks.
They must have changed because I only remember starbucks having latte's juice and pastries/muffins in 2001 which is why I stopped going there on a date
