I don't have any limits. We have airlines. Now I'd probably stay within the US, but that's not etched in stone for the right person. agreed! |

When I was 16 I hitchiked from Houston, Texas to Washington, DC and back 4 times. Just to see a girl!! In the 80's I flew to San Fransisco 5 times in 1 year from Louisiana just to see a girl. All my life I've driven 2 or 3 hundred miles to see girls from time to time. So why change now??? |

Would you accept a date from a guy you only talked to for a week on the web and who lived across the country or even further away? Lets say you really didn't know him well and you didn't even know if he is right for you. No. Certainly not for only a week? Why are you rushing it?

^I agree the original post stipulating that you have only been communicating for a week is asking a bit much to travel any significant distance to meet. I would have to know someone pretty well in order to consider flying anywhere to see them, or for them to see me. I don't even think I would be comfortable meeting someone local after only a week.

I absolutely agree with you too!!!! |

I agree. There are safety concerns there. A week is too soon young lady!  At the risk of sounding like a mom. He should come see you. Its recommended that the man come to where the woman is first and thats simply for precautionary reasons. You should not go wandering off someplace across the country to go see some guy you have been talking with online for a week.

Every individual situation is different; it's difficult to use a blanket policy about what you would or wouldn't do.

If you meet a person from across town for a date and the date doesn't work it's no big deal. Some guys who message me live too far away for dating so I say no to their offers. I am not big on web dating. I want to get to know the guy in real life. I've had some guys offer to travel from across the country (or further) just for a date. I totally don't get this. It's seems like too much pressure. If I decided I didn't feel any chemistry between us I would feel like I would have to stretch the date out just because he traveled so far. I would feel pressured to make the date work instead of just relaxing and being myself. Would you accept a date from a guy you only talked to for a week on the web and who lived across the country or even further away? Lets say you really didn't know him well and you didn't even know if he is right for you. The guys I am referring to I would go on a date with if they lived across town. Thoughts? |

I was a truck driver for several years and got to meet several nice ladies. For me I technically drove across country to meet someone I was interested in.
The twist was that I emailed with a lovely lady here in Arkansas. I lived on the east side of the state and she lived on the west. The emails began to get deeper in subject and I got a route going past her home so we met. We were comfortable with each other and ended up spending most of the night together. She went home to change before work and I went to sleep. She woke me up not long after both for a kiss (I like to think) and to bring my wallet I had left on her dash. I went on my route and got back that evening and there was a message for me at the truck stop. She had drifted across the center line on her way to work and crashed head on into another car crushing her chest and hopefully she died instantly. Talk about devastating. I've been leary of asking a girl to travel to meet me since then. You never ever know exactly what will happen. |

I'm talking to someone from Colorado.
It's very new but I have thought about how it would work if we were to meet. I have family in Colorado. I would prefer to go there and see him in his element rather than have him visit me here. My reasoning is that if he visits me here he will know where I live/work. |

Every individual situation is different; it's difficult to use a blanket policy about what you would or wouldn't do. Well I cant speak for everyone thats true. But that certainly is MY personal blanket policy. Too many women have gone missing. I wont put myself in a vulnerable position by going to them first. |

No. Certainly not for only a week? Why are you rushing it? Read the OP again. I am the one that is freak out by it. Two guys want to meet me now after only one week. They both live over 1000 miles away (Pete0909 is not one of them....just wanted to clear that up because some see us flirting in another thread and he lives in Japan). |

That's certainly not a bad policy, Krimsa. I just try to approach every situation individually.
