This has probably been asked before but I haven't come across it so I'll ask anyway. In browsing around these forums I've come across a number of theads about steps a sub should take to ensure their safety when meeting a dominant in real life for the first time. So this set me to thinking and turning it on it's head. What preparations do the Dom/mes make before and during meeting a new sub for the first time?

I haven't seen this answered but maybe I missed it. I have a few thoughts in mind and things like meeting in a public place go without saying to me but I'm interested in what the Dom/mes here consider the proper or best way to conduct that first meeting.
