Pick a neutral, public place
A busy café in daylight beats a restaurant reservation. Public, casual and easy to leave keeps the pressure low for both people.
Keep the first meeting short
Sixty to ninety minutes is plenty. A short, warm meeting that ends on a high note is far better than a three-hour interview.
Decide the family question in advance
Agree beforehand whether parents join. Surprising someone with six relatives is the fastest way to end a promising match.
Tell someone where you are
Share the venue and time with a friend or sibling, and keep your own transport. Safety habits are not distrust — they are basic sense.
