I do lots of selling on craigslist. I meet people in a public place where there are lots of other people around I usually bring my dog. I have met people in front of the police station because they sounded weird so I told them that's where I meet everyone.

I think if you stay in well lit and well traveled areas of the public you will be fine. Maybe you know someone who owns or works at an eating establishment they can keep an eye on you there.

I would not worry about it as long as you use common sense, do NOT go anywhere with anyone for any reason.

I don't feel threatened in any way.
