What makes you comfortable about meeting someone for the first time?

I think instead of trying to figure out when you're "comfortable" just focus on being safe. If you meet in a public place and check them out in the flesh, you'll begin to have more confidence in meeting new people. Every meet won't be a match. But you can have fun if that is your purpose... and if something more happens, great.

I have never met anyone off this site, bc I grew up and learned to talk to females in public. Even though my profile totally contradicts what I am saying, but life without humor is not life at all.

I hope I'll be forgiven for not reading the whole thread in depth, but I think I catch its drift. "Comfort" can have a variety of meanings; I think in a first meeting with a relative stranger, safety would be a primary concern, especially to a woman. Then, compatability of personalities. A quiet person paired with an obnoxious lout might be a bad mix. Two reserved types, or two boorish louts, for that matter, may be better together. So, learning as much about the other person as you need to know before getting too involved would be a good idea.

On an individual level, as someone has already said, your personality contributes a lot to your comfort level. I think self confidence is the key factor. That plus avoiding people who get on your nerves.

Having said that, I think that in dating, consideration for the other person is important. If you sense that he or she isn't enjoying his/her self much, it's not so hard to find out ways to make the time more enjoyable.
