Hooking Up With Him

There's a guy I've been talking to for a while. We live 4 hours away from each other and have completely different schedules. We met online, we text and talk on the phone, but I'm a little hesitant going to meet him for the first time. I want to hook up with him. No doubt there, I'd just like somewhere more neutral I guess to meet him for the first time than spending the night at his house. What do you ladies and others think? What would you do if you were me?
