I would say that the guy is under no obligation to pay for a ticket,only if he says he will cover the cost of send ticket.

Otherwise the choice to visit is in the hands of the person getting asked to visit. Plus that the cost of said ticket is on the one visiting.

It should be a mutual decision...either way...

He made the invitation, he should pay. However, I was in this situation not to long ago and I paid for my ticket, the cost of my luggage in the belly of the airplane both ways, the cost of a taxi both ways to the airport and half the cost of most meals. It's not only about the cost of the ticket. Be careful of what you're getting yourself into.

You may pay the ticket, and he may accomodate you. It's already an LDR,, i thinks it's more essier to brought out the topic at this stage, when one party is ready to go,, then tickets or accomodations are only secondary.

thumbs up

That's the way I'd deal with it.

He, of course....did invite you....so if he insists to pay the full costs....don't put up too much of a fight...laugh

I would prefer to pay for it myself.
That way you are under no obligation, or even hint of obligation to be with him during the visit.
It may not work out the way you had hoped or planned, and it is nice to be independent if this is the case.

Wise words....even better than my "mutual decision"....at an absolute minimum it should be discussed before-hand so no confusion or misinterpretation results...cheers

If i were to invite the Woman, then i would be prepared to reimburse her the cost for her expenses etc. But no way send her the money prior to the trip. I have been stung a few times like that in the past by what turned out to be scammers, and it won't happen again doh blues

It said when the man was inviting so if he invites he should pay. Maybe if she said she would like to go to meet first then she should pay and then he should offer to pay half?.

Like you say 'Happy Birthday' to someone and then they need pay for the cake you just bought for them?

Yubba Happy Birthday thing and then expect them to buy a cake for themselves is different.You'll probably ask me how is it different.I would say because it is.lol

What if the woman chooses to purchase her own ticket so their no expected obligation?
