Really anyone could be a murderer - whether I've met them in a bar, at school, online, wherever.

Yes, so check their criminal history before you go out on a date alone. If you are in public, fine, but still need to check once you get their specifics. And don't make excuses for their backgrounds. At least if a friend is setting you up, you have a little more background on them. 

I hope you find out that he has a great personality even if you are not thrilled with his looks.

I did personal ad dating in the mid 80s and a singles group. I never gave my phone number but got theirs so when I called them and found them not interesting I could not worry about stalking. Always meet in a place like Denny's for coffee so if you feel the least bit in danger take your purse and go to the ladies room and never come back, it is by the door.

Some were ok, most were not interesting. I found ISO at a party put on by the singles group, dated rather long term two of the personal ad guys. Sometimes you can really get a feel for someone over just a cup of coffee and decide to never see them again. One owned a roofing business and I said they you can earn as much as you want and he said then he could quit when he didn't need money. We both knew we were on different financial wave lengths so one cup of coffee was enough to decide never to see each other again.

I've had tons of blind dates.  I liked it.  I like surprises.
