You FINALLY meet someone who sounds extremely promising as a future lifetime partner so how big of a risk do you take finally meeting them if:
1. the dating/ marriage candidate is in a well developed foreign country in a large city
2. your children fear he may be an axe murderer, etc.and you wouldn't be able to get help there
3. your parents would object because they think you can't pick a good spouse because of previous failed relationships

BUT
you and he both like all the same things:
food, clothes, books, work, etc.
and you have never in your life found someone so similiar to you.
You look forward to talking to them every night by phone for 2-3 hours and you email every day. You're thinking about them wondering what they are doing and feeling at that moment. You smile when you think about him. He tells you he feels the same way and after meeting if the chemistry is great, would consider moving to your country so you can be together until you tie up your lose ends.

What do you think???

I don't see a problem with #1, nor any basis for #2 or #3. If you can't trust yourself and your ability to read the other person's character and intentions, then you ain't likely to succeed. dunno

There is always a risk, however it sounds as though you have minimized it as much as possible.

I guess the amount of risk can be measured by what you are giving up to pursue the relationship.

Relationships are hard enough especially long distance ones. Take it slow. Meet several times and make sure its something you really want to do. Uprooting your whole life and moving to a different country is a BIG leap. What if it doesn't work out? How much do you reallt know about them an their culture? All valid questions to ask yourself.
Good luck with whatever you choose to do!
