Is it better to chat more before actually meeting?

I met a guy on a date site today and we chatted a little bit. He wants to hang out this week in a couple of evenings. I feel that is too soon. I find it strange that he wants to meet right away. Is it strange of me to want to chat more or talk on the phone for a few days before meeting?

Why waste any more of your time, or his? You are interested in him, right? So, why not meet to find out if there is relationship potential? You can get to know him in person to decide. 

Although, do meet in a neutral location and drive yourself.

If you are unsure of this guy, follow your gut feeling and get to know him better remotely before deciding on an in person meeting.

It's not too soon to meet, BUT you should be sure you meet in a public place, NOT in his place or yours or a hotel room.
And be sure to tell a  friend where you are, and ask them to check you're OK after an  hour or so.

Yes chat a little more.
If he does not want to, ghost him, or politely say “no thanks,” if he is decent he’ll respect your wishes.
Meet in a public space.
Do not let him drive you home or go to his house.
Do not get drunk! Or do drugs.
He may just want sex, adviseable not to have sex with him on first date.

Keep it 1.5 to 2 hours max, casual, a coffee and a walk as example.. don’t go out for dinner, too much.

Have a friend text or call you to “remind” you that you need to be somewhere.
Be careful, but enjoy the date.
