No, you did exactly the right thing. Its good to know that some still take the common sense approach. There are some very strange ones out there and you have to have your wits about you.

I have NEVER met someone for the first time at my home, nor for several dates actually. My fella stayed in a guesthouse near to me on the first meeting (as he wasn't local). I covered half the cost, he paid for the other half and the travelling. He was more than gracious about it and fully understood my position.

If this man is insistent and won't meet otherwise, sounds like he has an agenda. Its not worth putting yourself at possible risk and no decent man would expect you to.

Good for you!! bouquet

todger: ONE WORD CRAZY !!!

I was 18, it was a myspace thingy, it was a party but God did I regret it.
SO stupid, I already had a fair idea that I was pushing it a lil bit but jeez, did my gut instinct prove it's worth.
Pure silliness, Crazy is not really the word, stupid and lacking common sense seems way more apt.

Meeting at public place, i think its the right thing to do, especially if its the first meeting.

You are 21 looking for someone up to age 45.
I am 45. Look older. I lived a hard life.
I am a certified red neck. Got my papers, up to date.
Spent 3 years in solitary, in Nigerian coffee shop.

I have my doughts. You are beautiful, like my grandchildren.
I have a basket full of blocked weirdoes. It takes a second and move on. He is not the only fish in the cooler. When you are looking for men much older than yourself, you sound desperate.
You are a magnet for weirdoes. Take it easy. It takes time.
And I still wonder,,,who are you really?

For goodness sake people. This person does not exist. She/He continually reappears here in exactly the same place of residence, with a different pic and/or name, spouting similar untrue tales of unimaginable and unbelievable woe.

Sorry I get excited 'cause I've seen a lot of this.
I realize you are young.
And good to see you are asking and learning.
Please don't let strangers into your house. Why?
If he insists, you know he is a phony and a jerk.
Block them, there are plenty more.
You will find a nice guy some day.wave

Odysseus101: Oh, you were SO right! What a weirdo! Only meet a new contact in a public place. That's the golden rule, never to be broken.


Would a motel room count as a public place?dunno confused

That's where I met my current love. It really has to do with how much you trust your own judgment. There's no necessary safety in meeting someone in a public place. If there that accomplished at deception - to the point where they've fooled you for weeks or months online - they'll past that public test and end up at your or their place in any case.

No. You were exactly right!!!!

I too will not meet someone outside of a very public OR chaperoned meeting.

You can never be too safe. I'd say you got a lucky break.

You are a young girl and you know the answer; of course; you cant' be naive especially with online dating; he wanted a chance to seduce you or worse do something that may not have been too cool.

don't go by sweet words or intentions; the true character of someone is shown by what they do, not what they say and get you to believe. Dump this guy yesterday. good luck.
