Bismihi ta'ala
The fundamental issue here that must always be observed is "family involvement".
Make sure that parents of both sides are aware, fully involved, and give consent.
The only and best way of honour the opposite is by honouring his/her parents and family members.
If parents give consent, and they are happy with this suitor, then yes, you should meet with each other. Meeting in public could be a good idea, as long as you both know that it will not bring about any problems from small-minded people who might want to gossip and accuse.
Hopefully, by having a meeting, you will both be able to decide about marriage, and get married.
With prayers for your success.
