Actually, I've come very close. But one had an addiction and didn't want to quit. The other was pretty close, but after three years, we were moving nowhere fast. So I ended it, kind of abruptly. A few months later, I moved back to Ohio anyways. Things seem to happen for a reason.
I just turned some music on. We have about 37,000 songs on the external hard drive on the other computer. My son & I got worried that if that hard drive crashed we'd lose all our songs.
HA You aren't the only one who provides information to someone else. Unless it is a very casual meeting at a coffee shop, I try to tell my best friend who I'm going out with and when I should be back.
I agree, letting your kids meet someone is just setting yourself up for a lot of questions and explanations.

How well known is the person are we talking about who is coming into someone's home?
I only meet people in public until I know them well enough to believe they are either not crazy, violent, a theif, or just a potential problem.
I only give out my cell phone number, not home, until I know them.
It may sound overly cautious, but I like my house and where I live, I have a son (17, but still my kid) that I have to think about his safety and also about his respect for me.
So.... by the time they are invited into my home, I don't think there is much chance I'd be throwing them out.
By the way, these kinds of toys should be presented ONLY IN THE PACKAGE AS BRAND NEW! And I'd think that it would be someone I was already intimate with before they would bring out toys.
You say in your post "Especially to the home of a pretty woman."
So it's ok to bring what you consider inappropriate to the home of what you would consider NOT a pretty woman? Or not bring flowers or candy to the home of what you consider not a pretty woman?
A motel reservation is the only way to go. Reservations can always be canceled. But it can be really awkward to try to arrange it after the arrival, and even worse if they are staying with you! I can't even imagine doing that --- yet, I've done it. It was awkward for me the one time. The other time motel reservation was arranged for but unnecessary.
So I'd suggest the next time you talk on the phone with a potential person you may meet in person, bring up this exact conversation, what do you think?
My picture is about a year old and of course, I have improved ;)
Most of the time, women will say EXACTLY what they are wanting, and still ... men think they know what is best. So we end up getting what men decide that we want.
Did they tell you their real age, and you just thought they looked really good for their age?
If you spoke on the phone, didn't you ask them how old the picture was or if they could send another one?
This has never happened to me and I've met many guys for coffee, lunch and even dinner. They always looked like their picture, but there was just no connection at the meeting.
Rather than waste anyone's time, I didn't go on the second dates, and believe it or not ( ) some of them didn't call me back.
