I do face to face trades, meeting people in real life.
Be careful when you do face to face trades. It is very dangerous. Try to it in most crowded area.
i wouldn't lay it on too thick -- people are buying/selling on localbitcoins legitimately all the time, every day. but yes, just meet in a Starbucks or something. i mean -- why would you meet anywhere NOT in public?
lol

maybe the seller/buyer insisted won't meet in public for several reasons, like busy or something. If that's the case, be careful.
