ok i have found a guy through a dating site. We haven't met yet because he live about four hours from me. We have been talking on the phone for about two months now and we have exchanged pictures. He seems really cool and I am planning on taking a trip to see him soon....i think. Well i am a little scared. The question is how does everyone feel about long distance online dating?....he says he isn't going to be there where he is long and is thinking about a new location. i just don't know!!

Why is it that alot of people I know are taking trips to see the men? Be very careful young lady, its seems to me that the women are doing all the traveling....Red flag....
So many times over the months Ive know many that have did this,and have been used by these men... Im sorry this is a gad idea, make him meet you some where safe and very very public, not alot of people or very crowed.......
Its these things that worry me and see so many women doing this..... We have to protect us and thats how I feel, be safe and take a friend with you....always ....tell you know this person better, good luck and be safe, hugs beach

I say life is too short and if you connect why not make that trip? I have been in several LD relationships and they work for me...Just be smart and if you go get a hotel room...That way you can have that 'out' if you want...I don't think there is anything wrong with the woman traveling...

I have been considering going to meet someone too. But we're talking different states, not just four hours. All my friends are against it. I think it comes down to my decision and I will always have a back up plan. Just in case. Whatever you decide, be careful and have a back up plan.

It sounds like he does not have a job, if he is already talking about relocating. My instincts tell me he is looking for you to support him. sorry, I would look elsewhere.

Harley... he is coming to see me first...I won't travel to meet a man the first time...just my personal policy. And he understands that and is willing to come to me first!

Heather, that's really good. I hope you find what you're looking for. As for me, it's still way to early to make a decision. But the thoughts are there. I don't know if that's good or bad. All my friends say, he's the guy, he should come to me. I've never been one to play the male/female role cards. If you know what I mean. Either way, whoever goes to see the other, for us woman, we have to very careful for our safety first.
Good Luck

Go for it!!!
Life is short. Remember the experience. Write it all down when you return home. And if it doesn't work out at least 10 years from now when you are reading your notes on the trip, you'll be smiling and laughing out loud.
You are the one traveling so make sure he has a full agender for the whole trip, site seeing, nice dinner, day at the fair, or amusement park, for some examples. Make sure he tells you exactly what he has planned before you leave.
AND Enjoy...
I have been on a few LD dates and even though I didn't hookup, I did have a pretty good time and enjoyed the company and the effort that was put in to make sure my trip wasn't a total waste.
Last...Make a plan B. If Plan A doesn't work out, at least you know what you like and roll on the guy and treat yourself to a fancy dinner, day at the spa, or something else to entertain yourself and leave back to go home first thing in the morning.
Just my advice...
