Aloha
you could do no worse than listen to Denu's comments. All of them.
Whilst not all of us are 'beasts' you can not always tell which is which by looking at us. Denu's tips will keep you safe and out of harm as much as poss. Yes I hope all goes well and you find the perfect partner and all - I really do, but do so in a safe way (for both of you). He should take precautions to, after all there are just as many strange and wonderful subs as there are Doms and Dommes I'd guess.
Any Dom who didn't agree that safety for both of you is paramount, in my humble is not worth his (or her) salt. But keep in mind that you want it to be fun to. So keep safe and have fun.
I would agree with Denu to remember that you don't have to do EVERYTHING first meeting. Maybe just meeting will be fine and lead to more at a next meeting. Main thing is to ejoy the nervous feeling and excitement and remember he is perhaps feeling similar.
I wish both of you all the best in all things.
