I'm worried for a friend?

A friend of mine is meeting up with a boy in a strange town she's only known for a short period of time. Like she met him on a bus, and spent a few hours with him. She wants to go to a hotel and meet up with him. She's not experienced and has never had a boyfriend. She is over 18. But I'm worried about her being alone with a guy she just met. She's not very strong, in fact she's kind of tiny and weak physically. What sort of things can we do to keep her safe? Me going isn't an option.

Update:

the town she's going to is like 6-8 hours away from where I live. I can't really "shadow" her. I've told her that I was worried for her, but if it works out it could be a good thing for her.

    Meeting in a hotel room is only going to lead to one thing. Quite a foolish idea given she's only known him a few hours.

    However, seeing as she is over 18 and can do as she pleases, all you can do is try and talk her out of it. If she still decides to go, tell her why you are worried, and perhaps ask her if she could text you a couple times throughout the evening just to let you know she's ok.
