I know.. was just upset .. I'm over it now though.. I've moved on.. ;)

my friend went on a Christian online dating site...the two men she talked to were both scammers...she is so upset...

He isn't worth it. But I don't think it's fair for everyone to jump on him when we're only getting one version of the story.

If you're uncomfortable meeting online (totally understandable! It's great that you're cautious) I'd do things a little differently.
-meet in a public place
-have 1 or 2 friends at that place, but not WITH you. This way they're nearby if you need them, but they aren't ON your date. What if you started talking with your friend because you were so nervous, and then you ignored your date for most of the night? That's not fun for him!
-Tell someone where you are going and when you will be back, or at least when you will check in. "If you don't get a text or call from me by x time, try to call my cell to make sure I'm okay."

Yeah dont get upset so many people out there dont take it personally

That's a great idea, could you also time-limit the meeting, say Let's meet at x'oclock; I have to do something at y o'clock' and then go meet a friend who has come to be 'nearby'. This way, the meeting has a definite time frame, and you have something fun to look forward to if the meeting doesn't work out.
