stefonline: Morning Lo.....how art thou today......yes I need to be very careful.....think if he really wanted he would have made the effort long ago to come and see me....but how and ever.....I may not go and at some time in the future if he feels the need to visit he can come right ahead.......until then...I may go to Barcelona and Italy to see all the CS group instead.....what do ya think....
That is a good idea,if he likes to see you he will come over to you one day,take it easy and you will see,he can be a lovely person too.

He is a very nice person and extremely geneuine, actuall the most geneuine I have come across in a very very long time......but I think this one will have to wait.....
stefonline: Not a lot to loose Skimp only the euros.......but that's not what it's all about either.....it''s more a case of would he have bothered to ever come and see me if I did'nt make the effort to fly to London while he was there during work time.....
Well if he is London for business before he flies to the U.S. he may not get a chance to fly across to Dublin. He did let you know he was in London which is an hour away by plane and that he would like to meet up. Why not go for it as what have you got to lose?. How long will it be before you get the chance to meet up again.
He is divorced and has a little girl who lives with her Mum....he has no other woman in his life and this I know as he works in Bahrain and never has the time.....a bit of a workaholic.....More food for thought....
since he let you know he was going to be in england then maybe that was a hint, maybe he is just one of those that likes to take his time, i know a guy on here that i have only talked to for a couple of months and he met this woman and they have already agreed on a three year dating term, egadds, that is a long time if you ask me, but anyway, i would say follow your heart, you have stated you are comfortable where you are in life and that you don't NEED anyone but would LIKE someone so i don't see the harm in a coffee myself, after all ryan dosen't charge hardly anything to fly between the two....................let us know how things go, if they do and good luck to you

I was thinking go for it, don't much like the workaholic description of the man, but it could be fun, just don't expect a whole lot. And be careful! That's the thing that would concern me, flying to another country to meet a total stranger. I kinda prefer first meetups to be on my home turf, in a very public place, just in case, but that's just me. Follow your heart, but keep in on a short leash.

He is prepared for what ever I decide if I go then great and if I dont well then he will respect me for the decision I have made....either way he feel's if it's destiny we will meet up at some point....

Would like to follow my heart....but that has gotten me nowhere fast in the past....keeping him on a short leash could prove difficult....

God knows Skimp when we would get the chance to meet up again but he has offered in the past to pay my fare to Dubai....but I declined on more than one occassion.....will see how it goes....he should have more concrete bookings made by next Tuesday or Wednesday....so will wait and see.....

well you didn't tell us he has offered in the past to pay for your trip! to me that actually makes a difference, to me he seems inclined to meet you at his costs in the past, i don't think a coffee would hurt now that we know more of the story, and you can keep your heart in your pocket and only pull it out if you want to, if you like him a lot? what is stopping you?
this is so complex and im such an idiot there is someone for everyone do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it yes yes yes i totally would if i weren't afraid of flying
stefonline: Been emailing and talking on messenger to this guy on here for over a year now. Been saying for the longest time he must meet up with me.
Well the day has finally arrived....me thinks.....not holding my breath.Now as it goes he will be flying from Dubai to United states via London for a few days work conference in London. He wants me to fly over to meet him.What do ya all think....
stefonline: Yeah but he's not flying specifically flying to meet me now is he.....I could just be on route for him.....
That was my first instinct on this.
Would need to have more details on him. Is he working there? Was he born there? Why hasn't he made an effort to meet you before? Has he invited you to his home? If not, why not?
A year is along time to be talking to someone that you really haven't a clue about. We all know people can tell you anything on here.
Go and make it a minnie vacation for yourself.....if you have friends in London...visit friends...shop and make it about you with him just being a stopover.....

Will keep my heart in my pocket Irishlass.....have learned the hard way in the past.....mistakes not to be repeated......thank you for the womderful advice.....
