jlb684: I would do it if the online connection and phone calls convinced me that it would be a trip worth taking, but I don't act impulsively. Also, though, I would have a Plan B. If the face-to-face was not as positive as initially imagined (and I mean for all reasons....mainly, no chemistry in person), then I would have a back-up plan of what to do while I am in his country. I would do some touring and sightseeing on my own to make the most of my journey. Because, let's face it....sometimes there's just no spark. It works both ways. If he felt no chemistry between us, I'd have to accept it and go on and do other things.
I agree. You don't know till u meet. I'm talking to a guy now. I knoe there a connection. We met one time in person but he is from another country (right now) he's in the states. Recently I've talked on the phone with a man who wants to fly in from Wales. I don't feel comfortable with that because he wants to stay a week. What if I don't like him?? That would be a mess.
OUTRAGEOUS: If a plane ticket and hotel is paid for with the invite, I don't see why not... I'm not sure I'll do it on my own dime, unless very, very much interested in the person... who knows... I might make the effort.

Laura25: unconditionally?
i would yes, if its someone i really want to meet.............but we would have to be communicating for a while.....emails, phone, whatever way possible.....and a while means for a while!..i don't have a problem with spending my own money to do that...how i see it is that im doing for my own personal reason.
