I agree with you Gal. Not only does it provide a "cushion", but if things don't work out, then at least you have someplace to stay (i.e. if the person puts you out).
Bob McGrath, who played friendly music teacher Bob Johnson on “Sesame Street” for nearly five decades, died Dec. 4 at his home in New Jersey. He was 90.
CC, whilst I think that your idea of staying at one of my friend's on the first night is a great one, I don't have access to such 'good' and accommodating friends (). And those very few persons who I know wouldn't mind, don't have the space.
You've connected with someone on a dating site from another country, and, after some time, agreed to meet the person. Whilst making arrangements, the question arose about where you should stay during your visit. Would you have a problem staying at a nearby Hotel/BnB?
You've already been offered airport pick-up (and drop-off, too), as well as to be taken on brief tours around the area/beach, etc, and he/she has even offered to cook for you (to minimize cost and ensure that you have a fun time, even if you don't 'click' as a couple).
So, would you have a problem with this arrangement? I'd appreciate your candid opinions. Thanks, in advance men. teddybear
I hear you DL, but I don't believe that it should be necessary for either party to operate based upon your last statement, in order for respect/courtesy to prevail between us. Following the "Golden Rule" should be enough.
I agree with your perspective Selenite, and it makes sense. However, their is a sort of hierarchy due to age and responsibilities (I am older by 15 years, I am co-owner of our house with my older brother and the sole Executrix of my mother's will, managing her 'estate' for the last 5+ years). She is the youngest sibling, and have been a bit spoilt (by all of us older ones). She demonstrates an attitude of 'entitlement' that sometimes affects her expectations of others (including me).
I don't mind them "snooping" , but I am more interested in 'hearing' what the ladies have to say, because their perspective/s and experiences are more relevant (to me). The men could lend their support by giving as many 'thumbs up' (or thumbs down) as they want. Any other points are welcome, but I'd really prefer to have the ladies' comments first, please men.
Dan, I agree with you and want to avoid having to endure any "horror stories" of my own.
In one's excitement to meet who might be 'the one', one might overlook the possibility of him/her being a huge 'disappointment', un-trustworthy or ill-intentioned - a psycho, as you said.
You've connected with someone on a dating site from another country, and, after some time, agreed to meet the person. Whilst making arrangements, the question arose about where the person should stay during his/her visit. Would you let the person stay at your home, or would you prefer that the person stay at a nearby Hotel/BnB?
You've already offered to meet him/her at the airport, as well as take them around, and even provide meals and entertainment during their stay (to minimize cost and ensure that they have a fun time, even if they don't 'click' as a couple).
So, what would you do, and why? I'd appreciate your candid opinions. Thanks, in advance.
GENTLEMEN ONLY...Would you have a problem with this? If so, why?
Perfect! That's what everyone hopes for, I think. Thanks for sharing Bod.
