sweetowen: For me, I'd prefer he came to my "turf", so to speak. What I mean is that he'd book a hotel room near my place & we meet in a public place, where people know me. If you're meeting half-way, in my opinion, anything could happen. I guess I'm just not as completely trusting. But you're in a strange place with a person you haven't physically met yet. I just like to be on familiar ground.
Yes...again I agree....I would think it more gentlemanly to allow the lady her own turf....
one, as you say, it's 'safer' for her.
two, from my part, I would tend to believe she would be more relaxed in my company that way, making life easier all round.
