If she's dressed in green with nice cleavage...like a hare...

Well I wouldn't exactly be getting the next plane there. There's have to be some more talking about realities involved, practicalities and such. I'm not a complete idiot. Sometimes though, our opportunities for meeting or being with the person that suits us, isn't going to be the person next door, so in my case, if I am serious enough to entertain a man in a romantic way, then I'd have to be prepared to want to move too, or else I'd just be playing games. I don't do games.

I have travelled extensively inthe last 10 years I have been online. I have met and stayed with many of the friends I have made. some were good experiences, and some were bad. My thoughts on it is that as long as I am not taking advantage of anyone or their hospitality, then why not meet them? If they offer that I stay, and most of them do, then I gratefully accept. It is a great way to experience a new culture first hand. A few of my friends have stayed here too. All of them were wonderful and we had a great time.

Another question for you then. Take a hypothetical. You and I have been emailing/chatting on line for awhile. I'm in Illinois, your in Pennsylvania - a distance away. I invite you out to spend the weekend. I have an extra room so not a problem. Would you even contemplate doing something like that before 1st meeting in person? Because of the distances involved seems like a reasonable solution but trust REALLY enters into the equation here. Or would your 1st thought be "uh oh!!"

Bravo!! Have a buddy from England that we met on line 10 yrs ago. Takes trust to invite someone you've never met to come stay with you and just as much trust to accept! But, the rewards CAN be wonderful! Nick's one of the nicest people I've ever met and it would NEVER have happened if we didn't take a chance. To my mind, the gains far outstrip the losses.

I have a grand daughter too. She is two years old and is the light of my life. We adore each other and I see her almost every day. I also have a grand son who is 5 months old now and so lovely, always smiling.

My love for them would never change no matter where I lived. But I would never let it hold me back from doing the things I wanted to do.

To continue to stay near and be there for them every day sets an example to her and to my kids that my life is only important if they are near me, or when I am devoting it to them.

I have never, and will never, give them that idea.

My life is important just because it is my life, and I have to live it for myself and not vicariously through them, just as one day they will have to do the same, when they find partners and settle down to their lives.

We know we love each other, we always will know that, and how deeply. Living near or far won't change that.

Just don't know!

Some people can rush into things...

But i'd like to know a little bit about someone first.

Because some people don't show there true colors until you've been
with them for two years.And some act like there self right off the bat.

So for me i would have to hear Specific things that hit home for me to
even click with a person, and even then its a leep of faith!

Good luck to all!!!!

I think I'd have to really get to know the person. And then I'd ask if you have a guest room. I'd also warn you that I grew up with an older brother who is 6'4" & have learned how to defend myself verrrry well! But I wouldn't say it'd be out of the question, if there was a reason I'd be coming out there.

Nicely put! Surprises me, tho. From reading the threads there seems to be a WHOLE lot of trust issues here. Nice to know that not everyone has that particular hangup/problem. Kudos to you!!

The next day after your online relationship colaps you hould really be available. It's all online sweetie. Who cares?

A click online? mmm...just anxiety. Is that a click?

Exceptionally i'll marry a CS member, exceptionally

Hi Cristina! How's life treating ya today?

I would if it was someone I've been emailing and chatting with for a while...esp if there have also been phone calls. How else are you going to ever meet in person? Somebody's got to visit the other somebody. You've offered another room for them to stay in. Shouldn't be a problem. And IL isn't that far from PA...it's only 9 hours from me by car, even less by plane. Even with a bigger distance, it shouldn't be a problem. There's only one way to meet in person in that instance, and it means somebody's got to travel to do it.
