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.
