Regardless of whether or not the OP is legit, I'll address the basic premise of the question.
As for me, I wouldn't accept an international ticket paid for by someone who I would be meeting for the first time. I wouldn't accept a domestic ticket, either, for that matter. I don't want to ever feel any obligation to anyone and the cost of the ticket puts me in a position of obligation. If we met and didn't hit it off, then what?? No, it's just too extreme for my comfort level. If I wanted to meet him bad enough, I'd buy my own ticket and make all of my arrangements. Conversely, if he wanted to see me bad enough, he'd find a way to come to where I am when he could take some time off from work. But I would be very slow in coming to such a decision...I would take time in getting to know him via chats, cam conversations, phone calls.
When the desire and the need to meet is so strong that I can't put it off any longer (feeling that I may be letting something wonderful slip through my fingers if I don't take the plunge)... only then would I make my flight AND hotel arrangements. And I'd have a plan B...what to do, where to go, if things aren't as I had hoped they would be.
