Two things I'd suggest: You've already indicated you've become frustrated and dissatisfied with guys with whom you don't click, and with one nighters. If you want more than drunken, high one-nighters that you barely remember, I would leave that whole story out and focus on what you do want and about you. Secondly - but it should probably be first - Safety. Treat the first meeting like the person might be a psycho killer. Treat the first time you're alone with him the same way. (Alone isn't just behind closed doors - getting into a car together alone, walking some place secluded or deserted alone, etc.) Meet in a public place where there are going to be people. If possible, meet some place where someone you know will be able to see you. Have your own transportation back and forth. Don't get high or drunk. Get a photo of his face from him online, and if it doesn't look like him when you meet, don't even introduce yourself, just keep walking. Make sure a friend has some info that can be traced about him, just in case it's necessary, - a copy of the photo, where you're meeting, a license plate, his contact info, where he works, whatever, and knows about your plans to meet. If there were trouble, just being able to tell him that somebody has info about him and knows you're with him now, could make him think twice. Have a safe call arrangement with a friend - if you don't know about those, just ask. Even if you insist upon a one-nighter, don't go straight from the first meeting place to being alone with him. Make the first meeting brief and public, like just for coffee or a snack. If you really want to get together that same night/day, agree to meet back up in a couple of hours. You'll have time to have any second thoughts. If he's up to bad things, he'll probably be discouraged from meeting back up. It'll give you time to set up a safe call. But you don't want a one-nighter, anyway. The least you're looking for is a hot play partner who's good company, someone you'd look forward to seeing again, and who feels the same way about you.
