Hosting at my house right now is not practical for a number of reasons. And since a first game would probably involve people that I am still in the process of making friends with, the rules of where to meet for a first game would closely mirror the rules of where to meet for a first date.
Meet somewhere public, preferably with other people around. A Friendly Local Gaming Store is good for this, but a coffee shop that's open late is also a good meeting place. Gaming conventions also count, but by the time you've gotten them to the convention, this is unlikely to be their first game. Maybe the first game of whatever you're running, which is still good.
Make sure that if anyone is uncomfortable, they can leave. Meeting in public addresses some of this, but also make sure that your location isn't too far from their home or in a neighborhood that they're not comfortable being in.
