Meeting in a public spot, like a bar or coffee shop is part of our screening & vetting process. It gives us a chance to see if there's chemistry, provides a sanity check for a first face-to-face meeting, and leaves a way to bow out without undue stress.
If things are good, we do what KK calls the "cock inspection," going for a ride in our vehicle, while KK checks out the candidates package. Often, that leads to more, some hot backseat sex.
