Yup, I did it too. You just gotta get to know the person and see if they're on the up and up. I met a few who worked very near me, so it was pretty easy to verify they worked where they did, lots of first dates gave me rides home or to my car at the Metro, some even knew other friends of mine. DC was a very small world. I never met any girl I would have considered shady. Emailed with a few of them, but realized what was going on before going through with a meeting. It's usually very low key and not nearly as big a deal as some make it out to be. I don't consider meeting at Starbuck's for a cup of coffee after work to be much of a risk.
