Yeah, meet him in a public place - a walk or event can be free, just meeting up for a drink can be inexpensive too!!

If he can't leave his house at all, hmm - you sure you want to date someone like that? (Maybe he can work on his sa first to at least be able to meet you in a public place??)

NEVER ever go to a guys house you meet on the internet for the first time. If you do decide to meet a guy make sure it is in a public place with lots of people (Like a mall would be the best or a busy restaurant if it's a date). Always stay safe ! ! ! !
There is a show, To Catch A Predator. I'm sure you've heard of it everybody has. It's really good in educating people that we need to be safe when meeting people on the internet. And I agree with the above posters him asking you to meet at his house red flag. It's not just a red flag it's a GIGANTIC RED FLAG.

Don't do it. I feel, especially for a first meeting, you should always do it in a place where there are plenty of people and it's open. A coffee shop, book store, restaurant, someplace like that.
A guy I met online wanted me to meet at his place and I just told him no because I didn't feel comfortable with that. Especially since I would have had to drive two hours to get to his place, a place I've never been to and know no one there, it just didn't sit right with me. Also, strangely, after that he didn't want to talk to me anymore, so I'm really happy I didn't go.
You have to be careful meeting people online. While there are plenty of normal people, there are also plenty of creeps and if someone insists you meet them in a private place, that should set off some alarms bells.

If he tries to pressure you into it, just say "what, did you get so fat you can't fit thru the door? No thanks, C ya"

That sounds very weird and fishy. Nothing good could come from that encounter.
