Well gumi I am by no means an expert, however a very trusted source who is a hero member here told me about bitcoin OTC. I looked into it a bit, and it seems super legit, but it will take you quite a bit of research and effort to get going with it. Hope this helps, and good luck to you!

I've had success with using Coinbase.com the only draw back is it takes 5 days to clear your transactions when buying coins.

Here's how localbitcoins works, if you do it right:
You and the seller meet up in the lobby of a local bank, where everybody is safe.
You show him your stack of cash money.
He uses his smartphone to transfer to your wallet.
You use your smartphone to check that the transfer is complete.
You hand over the cash and the two of you shake hands.
Neither one of you just did anything remotely shady or illegal, that's why you can do it in a bank lobby.

You can do localbitcoins online from a bank transfer too :)

There are services which you can use where you deposit cash into a bank, and they deposit into any wallet. A pretty decent system for anonymity IMO.

Will have to get a mobile phone first...I stopped using those years ago...they are one of the most effective tools of the surveillance state...
You don't really even need one. You can just print out your Bitcoin wallet address on a sheet of paper, and the seller can scan that square barcode-looking thingie with his camera phone. Then, ask him to show you the transaction happening on his phone.
