  Actually get to known each other before we go over for a drink or lunch, instead of hurrying it up just to have an awkward time?

    You can get to know each other in person. Why would it be any more awkward than over text.

      I don't know about you, but I don't usually meet up with someone just together that I don't know at all. It would be nice to talk at least for a while. It's different when you meet someone already in a social situation.

  This is how it's supposed to be done, after all the other person wants to meet you too. Typically, I make a suggestion of somewhere to meet during the first text conversation. Never had anyone decline the offer. Most of my first dates have been enjoyable, even if I didn't see the person again. It's just pleasant casual conversation with a stranger. I've only ever had one really bad first date, but now the story is quite entertaining. I had her meet me at a concert I was attending with friends. She spent the evening alternately hitting on my friends and crying in the corner. To be fair, I didn't have high expectations for that date anyway which is why I tried to fold it into something I was already doing.
