Probably would not meet up in person, too much risk of robbery from someone when I am talking about how much bitcoin I have purchased. I'll keep my online profiles separate from my in real life self.
I understand your concern, and given how big the world is, I suspect you aren't anywhere near Chicago anyhow.
However, if safety is the only concern, I'd be happy to meet in the lobby of a police station? Or on the floor of a casino (They have pretty good security in those places)? Or anywhere else with really good security.
Nice point, but police stations are also dangerous. Not from you, but from the police and criminals there. On the floor of a casino is an interesting idea. But no, you're nowhere near me, and also I don't have any casinos around.
