We seem to get along very well and I am very honest with him about all aspects of my life and I truly believe that he is too. We talk on the phone, IM and text each other. I am 25 and he is 32. Our problem is that I live in New York and he lives in Georgia. We have only seen pictures of each other.
A few times now he has mentioned how he wants to fly up here to visit me, he would stay in a hotel, but just wanted the chance to see me in person and see if we should take this thing to the next level. Seeing that this is his personality, he is looking for a long term relationship, marriage the whole thing; he wouldn't lie about himself right? Because if he was serious enough to pay his way to come and meet me then he surely wouldn't be lying about his life in Georgia. Or would he? I am always a doubter in relationships and am afraid to be hurt again, I feel that he is sincere and I really care about him. Any opinion on this?

I met my husband on line. But we talked on line for 3 years before meeting in person. Just be very cautious and remember people can be different in person.

I think internet dating is a great way to meet people especially if you are not meeting anyone interesting in your hometown. I also feel like if he is willing to come to your town, then he probably is being honest. Please don't be skeptical of everyone you meet just b/c one person hurt you. Give it a try but meet him at a public place not at the hotel. Do not be left alone with him at all on your first few trips and also you can run a criminal background check on him online. Just be careful and let someone know where you are going and where you will be.
It's no more dangerous than meeting someone in your own home town. I can't stress enough to be careful and don't be alone with him even if you do find him attractive.
Good Luck!!!!

Nothing ventured nothing gained. You can try googling him to see if anything creepy comes up, but what do you have to lose? Let him come visit...heaven forbid he doesn't represent well, at least you can end it before you really get attached to him. He seems stable and smart enough if he's paying to come see you and he's staying in a hotel. That's very smart. When he gets to town, arrange to meet him at the bar of the hotel or somewhere nearby that he won't have trouble finding that you feel comfortable with. Give a trusted friend his info (his name, where he's from, what he drives, where he works...anything like this) just incase he turns out to be crazy and be sure to keep your cell on you. That way, if things don't turn out blissfully, you'll be safe. You'll never know until you meet him though, so good luck! I hope he's as great as he seems to be so far!

Ok, here's what to maintain in brain: Just considering the fact that he's inclined to fly as much as see you does now not imply he is not mendacity. He might be ANYONE, any person you may also now not wish to fulfill. Meeting men and women on-line is usually a unsafe industry. Make certain you already know who you're handling earlier than you supply him ANY individual data. There fairly is not any approach of understanding if any person is being sincere on the web. It's as much as the character individual to inform the reality . There is not anything to MAKE them be sincere. You sound such as you belive the best way I do, honesty is the high-quality coverage. Put the reality available in the market and they may be able to take it or depart it. I hate while men and women deceive me and I might on no account do it to someone both. That doesn't suggest each person belives as you and I. If you suppose he's being sincere, installed a assembly. However DO NOT supply him any individual data till after you'll be able to get to understand him just a little larger. I have taken an option final title for instance on all my expenses, web data and so on. With technological know-how so complex now it is extremely effortless for men and women to get any data they wish on you from whatever as sensible as a cellphone quantity. Just be certain that you just point out prematurely that you haven't used your truly title in order that if matters do figure out, he'll now not suppose you lied to him. Above all be riskless! Good success, desire he IS a well one

A person can be anything they want to be on the internet. They can say they are are a doctor and live in a fancy house,but really they are cheating on their wives/girlfriends or have other motives like a one night stand. In this day in time you can't really can't trust anyone on the internet. There have been many women and men killed from meeting someone on the internet. It sounds like your gut feeling is detecting something you might be overridding with feelings.

I don't really see a point in him lying about his life. If he's willing to fly to NY and see you, then let him. Once you meet him in person, you may be able to tell if he is being sincere. What do you have to lose? He could be the man of your dreams...Good Luck!! :)

My X met a woman on-line and totally fictionalized and fabricated his persona. Everything he told her was a lie, from how he made his living, his value system, his past, his religion...he completely created a fictional character. She fell for him. He told me about it and laughed the whole time.
