How could i safely arrange a meeting with someone i met online?

I met someone on Y!A and we seem to share a lot of interests, we're the same age and we only live a few hours apart...i think it would be really cool if we could meet but i dont know how to ask her without making her think im a creeper...and where could we meet etc.How could i safely arrange a meeting with someone i met online?
If you haven't already, talk on the phone a few times just to make sure it isn't a guy pretending to be a girl. Then, make arrangements to meet in a public place (like at a fun casual restaurant) and either meet w/ a group of friends or at the very minimum, make sure that you tell your family/friends where you'll be, mention to her that you've told someone as well. She won't think you're creepy unless you're pushy about it. If she hesitates, just drop the idea until she brings it up.

there is no way that you can posibly know who this person is. there is no real 'safe way' to meet anyone from online. if they make you at ease and to trust them, that is not a good sign. despite my advice not to, keep in mind that not everyone is evil.
How long have you been chatting online? Does she want to meet you in person at this point? These are both factors in making that initial "in-person" meeting. When you do, make it someplace very public. Starbucks, a park, someplace comfortable. No movies or dark restaurants; save that for later, if things get that far.

During the day, maybe for lunch somewhere that is full of people.

Just say that you two seem to have some things in common and you would like to meet her. Don't be pushy, and give her the choice of where to meet. Tell her to bring a friend along if she would like, although this is an option that you use as a last resort. Maybe

she will be more receptive to this than you think. Good Luck.
