Way back around 15 B.C. (before cellphones), a considerable amount of advance coordination and subsequent cooperation were involved in meeting up with friends, checking in with parents and finding a meeting place. Landmarks, clocks and precision timing were all employed for a smooth rendezvous. Trust was also a large factor.
