I've met providers who opt out and have had mostly good expierences.

I think you can make your own luck a bit.

I'm confident in my ability to get on well with whoever I meet and have found that occasionally even if the person I'm meeting didn't seem interested initially, after a crap joke or two on my part or whatever ice breaker you can think of, they warm up and the meet will be fun and go smoothly for both of us.

It's a risk, but rarely, I do like venturing into the unknown for some reason.
