How far to travel?

I live in the Eastern part of the United States, and I have met many wonderful people online. I hope to some day meet a few of these people. One lives in the midwest and I have every intention of meeting her, her husband and children someday. We often speak of visiting one another. We are very close have snailed mailed packages, cards and letters. Exchanged photos of ourselves and family members. Another friend, also female lives in the Netherlands and we have spoken about traveling to visit one another, also. Like the other, we have exchanged packages, cards and mail through the post. I have known both of these women for several years and feel that I can trust them as much as a person can be trusted. We all three are friends and are a great support to one another. We also all have plans of the 3 of us going on vacation together someday. It is hard right now, because 2 of us have children in school and we just can't leave. But, yeah, if you know someone for a long time, I feel that you can visit and meet. It depends on the circumstances. Like I said before we have all been friends for several years, we met at an online program and have stayed in touch almost daily ever since we have bonded. They are dearer to me than some of my "real" life friends.

I live in northern New Hampshire. Nearly 2 years ago, I met a gal who lived in eastern Ontario Canada. I drove 6 hours to Ontario to meet her. This is a drive I have been making now about every other week for almost 2 years. We enjoy a GREAT relationship. Though the distance is hard sometimes, we both feel it's worth it. She comes down here quite a bit too.

In would want to stay near home and only meet in a place where I knew the area. It is dangerous to travel to unknown places to meet unknown people. You are right not to travel to meet someone. It is wonderful to trust people but caution is always the safest way.

Of you really gong through with that plan I suggest that you bring along a friend and make sure that you also inform at least another friend or a relative about that so that if something bad were to happen, you will not be alone. Take care!

today i was asked to meet a gentalman away from my home.some pepole are visiting by bus, some are going by car.travell by air is good. thanks

i think that you did the right decision because you will never know when hes trying to hurt you, i would never meet someone in person that i met on the internet its dangerous

My reasons will be the same as your's, if I would be the girl then I would insist that guy should be the one to come to my place and not me on his place. I think what he did is quite ungentlemanly, as this will also make me think what his motives are. Even I'm a guy, I surely won't waste my time and money just to go to their place because I don't take chances where I feel like I am on the loosing end..

Well since I am married I wouldn't go to meet a man that I had met online at all. I seriously don't think that I would ever be comfortable in meeting one even if I were single as it is very dangerous. I think it is dangerous to give out any information about yourself online.
