I met a man on-line and corresponding for 6 months. Would you visit him out-of-state?


Question:
We are very compatible and have spoken at least twice a week on the telephone and have e-mailed for many months, so we know what each of us is about. I realize the risks involved in this sort of a venture. He is a hard-working individual and interested in older women. We certainly can fulfill each others needs; he is single and I am single. I feel that at this point, he certainly would have tripped up, but he stands true to his profile of 6 months ago. What say?

Answer:
If you are cautious (and of age), yes. (Meet in public first, and be prepared for things not to work out. But I say take the chance that it will.)
It never works, don't do it
oh heavens no!!! you don't know much about this guy right? what if he is a perv or something and you are wanting to meet him out of state? what is wrong with you girl?
dont know
With that kind of history...I would do it and not think twice.
just depends if u talked to him on the phone and if u have a pic of him then yes go for it but be careful
not alone , dont ever do that alone i dont care how long you have been corresponding , if you want to meet him that is fine but please dont do it alone , it is too risky , so take a friend a family member and at best let him come to you if he can ..
You can meet him, but meet him in public. Let someone know where you are going to meet him, in fact, bring a friend with you and just meet and talk, don't turn it into a sex thing.
if i were you i would set up a double date..he brings his boy..and you bring your girl..that way if he is a weirdo you will have your friend to back you up. if he says that he just wants it to be you and him i wouldnt go because chances are he could be not like his profile, even if you did speak to him on the phone, and he could be a complete weirdo. its best to be safe and just double date or no date if you ask me
Well, sure, if both sides have the same expectations and you trust eachother, certainly go for it!
go for it. im in the same situationa and im going to meet him at the end of the year. you never know what could happen. its not like your moving there
NO FREAKIN WAY !! Go to a bar like everyone else , at least that way you can see the bullshit you get fed in person...
i wouldn't do it because he might be a sick person and he can tell you anything he wants over the Internet but he might not be what he put up to be. you don't even know him... that's how most teen girls get missing now they meet someone on the Internet and they think they know this person and before they know it they go meet this person and the go missing it's not good to just go out and meet all kinds of people!
I wouldn't do it, but if you must, meet at a very VERY public place. DO NOT go to his house/apartment. Take someone else along, if you can.
I say go for it but be very cautious. meet only in public places and run his name through the sex offenders list at your local police station. my aunt meet a guy through the internet and now they are happily maried for three years. just remember to always leave in your house or with a friend your email passwords and location of were you are going make sure you leave all this information out just in case something happens then they can track your email correspondence right to his door. go for it girl but be careful. always trust your instinct
Be careful. Anyway, it will put the relation in a new stage.
For good or bad.
All you have to go on is what he has told you...if you want to meet him in person, make sure it is in public and no where near where you live...you have to get a background check...Be suspicious at every turn...it is not difficult to "stand true to his background" (all you have is the information that he gives you including his background).
life is short, go for it. but be shure to have pictures and a good background of this guy before you go. also meet in a very crowded public place at first. happiness may just be one trip away for you... be cautious but don't exagerate you've been talking a long time.. people that bullshit/exploit don't usually have that much patience.
Something like this worked for my cousin. She is very happy now. But she played it safe. I would not meet out of state, but rather somewhere public. Dont let him know where you live till your sure.
ps: good luck :)
Well, with email and online talking, he can obviously pretend to be someone else. And as for the phone, guys from like 20-50 have the same deepish voice or can make it sound the same. Honestly, it might seem "perfect" or wtv. but you really don't know that he isn't just making up a persona to be close to you. C'mon, I'm sure you can meet a man nearby at a club or speed-dating thing or through a mutual friend.
hell no gurl is u crazy he could be a killer i mean think about it?
yes i would go meet him but as others said take someone with you i met the love of my life the same way you are planning and we've been together 6 years now no regrets what so ever sure would like to hear how it works out for you
Nothing can replace the initial physical spark - that magical chemistry... so if you meet, you might be so disappointed you never talk again or you might have the time of your life and get married. Bottom line - nothing ventured - nothing gained.
I've actually been through this. I live in Nebraska, he lived in Florida. We corresponded for almost 2 years before we actually met, just because I wanted to wait and see if he was truthful to everything he told me.
When we met, he actually came to me. I met him in a public place and he stayed in a local hotel. He stayed almost 3 weeks and we spent the majority of that time together. Then, he left and 3 weeks later I received a plane ticket (from him) in the mail to go see him. It was a great time! The day before my flight back home, he proposed to me at sunset along the beach. Well, I broke his heart and we said our goodbyes at the airport.
You said he stands true to his profile, but maybe you should wait another 4 months before meeting--because you just never know. And, I'd have him come to you first and meet in a public place. Don't go to him first because too many things could happen--and it would be an unfamiliar place to you. You can always go see him after the first initial meeting and you're more comfortable.
It can work, but don't rush things. If he's interested in you and truthful, he won't mind waiting.
Best of luck to you!
no because people lie on the computer!They can be anyone online!
