Get to know the person. Talk with him/her about your plans, your thoughts, your ideas. Make sure yours and his/hers are lined up. Talk about all of the what-ifs. Just know who you are dealing with and let them know also. Any uncertainties should be discussed. If you are not comfortable with the person, dont do it.
