If you don’t know the person and meeting at first time, try to meet in public places. Private locations like homes or out of the way or unheard of restaurants should be avoided. A familiar restaurant or coffee shop, at a time when a lot of other people will be present, is often a fine choice.
If you know the person you can date anywhere you like.
Well.. picking her up is always a good thing to do as it make her feel good and also it will have a positive impact on your image in her mind.

Thanks..
