Would you fly abroad for a blind date?

Oh gosh no not me personally. I think that after chatting for a while I would have to insist the person come by me where it would be safe and known territory for me. See even in my own State in the past I have been on one blind date and although it was in a public place it was still a risk and it did not turn out so well, and this person I had chatted with for a while. So that would be a no for me.

wow... very daring. It could almost be viewed as eccentric or desparate. If your friends has so much money to just take a whimsical jaunt out of the country - I have a few things he can invest in and help me with. What to do with your money 101.... support a friend. hahaha I say, Congratulations to doing something so out of the norm; we never know!! My life bores in comparison.

I would not fly abroad for a blind date. However I responded to your discussion because a male friend of mine did this. He is English and he met on-line a Canadian lady. She was divorced lady with two children. They wrote to each other on the Internet for a couple of months. She left her children with her parents and she traveled down to New York. He flew all the way from Manchester to New York to have a blind date with her. They have stayed friends and I heard a while back that she had got married to a Canadian man. My male friend has been in a relationship with a Croatian lady that lives in England. I know he likes foreign ladies and in the past has dated a Romanian lady, a Dutch lady and a Polish lady.

I can't see myself traveling o another country just for a blind date. You dont know what you may be in for and to be so far away from home, there would be nothing to do but grin and bear it. Dating is tough enough without spanning the globe for rejection.

Well it depends how long I knew the person online.THere are like two people who i would like to meet offline because their personalities are so interesting but i would have to talked to them for at least two years.

Never, can't trust people these days. Too any crimes have been happening around the world.

Well, I have known people who have done this from time to time, and know of 2 who have married women they met this way, and are still happily married. I guess it all depends on what motivates the person, and if it is really something you want to give a shot at you never know unless you try. I have met girlfriends who live in other parts of the US by flying to meet them, and it has drawn us closer, but never to another country. But hey, if it is meant to be distance knows no boundaries.

I wouldn't fly to another country for a blind date. When you only know eachother through the internet it is hard to know if the meeting will be successful or not and it also risky to go to another country to meet a person you don't know. I am married now, but when I was still single I went on blind dates in other parts of my country. That wasnt't a problem, but going abroad for a date is a lot more expensive (and risky). I have a friend from South America who went to Europe to see a girl that he had met online. They had been in touch for a long time before they decided to meet, but unfortuneately their meeting wasn't a success. The girl was a lot differerent in real life and the relationship didn't work out.

I've known personally two people who met on the net and also met in person. but not for a short time. They've been chatting for 2 years and finally they met in person. It's love that makes two people from different places unite and prove that distant is not a hindrance.

My opinion was that if you are a girl chatting with other foreingn man.I rather not to go there its because you dont know what will happened.I will insist that the man should go in my place not me.In addition I think two weeks is not enough to learned more about your date.Well I guess he was just in hurry!lol!

Initially the offer is quite inviting. What more can be exciting traveling to a foreign country? But on second thought, I would be wary of strangers much more of those whom I meet on line. You just can't trust anybody these days. What if the guy is sick and just want to take advantage of you. I'd rather not take the risk.

YES. More for the travel part rather than the meeting up with the person part, though. I might be a little nervous to meet someone all the way in a foreign country that I didn't really know, so I'd force my friend to come with me. That way, if the date was unsuccessfull, we could still have fun the next day and go sight seeing, ha ha!

I would never go that far. First off, I would never meet someone like that over the internet. You don't know who it may be. If I was to meet anyone from the internet, I would bring someone with me, or a couple of friends. Nowadays you have to be very careful.

it is very tempting but you got to be insane if you go that far for a blind date, good luck to your friend,

To each his own!! Right? Love, obsession and passion might be his answer.

I did, although my girlfriend had I been talking for over a year by the time we met up. 2 weeks is a bit short on time to be making such a huge dicision.

I'd absolutely not.. if there are other important reasons for me to go to that country, then yes it could be, but not for the sole purpose of meeting a person who I've only chatted for a while. It's too impulsive and forward for me, not to mention very expensive and unnecessary. It would be better to think things through first rather than rushing things. Good day!

NO. I will NOT do that. I think it's too much for you to travel just to meet that person. Maybe if that person is just a few blocks away. But to travel to another country? I won't. Maybe your friend had fallen for the girl that's why he's eager to meet her.

What does your friend do? Is flying to Singapore cheap? Is he very rich? And is the girlfriend Singapore person? it is quite interesting if singapore girls have become so open. I won't even meet people from same country, not until i know them well enough, then again, that would be a long time.... Interesting friend you have there. I hope he doesn't come back disappointed.

I would not do that simply because I'm a woman. It's kinda adventurous of someone to fly abroad for a blind date. I understand that your friend wants to meet the girl but somehow 2 weeks is too early for him to do such a thing. I think a constant chatting say about 3 to 6 months is fine for someone to meet his chat mate since they have established a rapport by that length of time. I must say, that flying abroad just to be with someone you meet online is a gamble for love.
