Yeah, before anyone starts throwing around rude comments etc, I really have thought about this forever & really want to meet him, he's 1 year older than I am, we're both in college, so I guess we could find a 3rd person to come along if needed ... so I live and go to school in Virginia & he lives in Long Island and goes to school in Philly ... so what do you think is the best way about doing this? I think I'll go to philly, but how long do you think I should stay there & what time during the year (I don't know if this summer is possible, but the fall after might be, or the winter break afterward or the 2008 spring break) ... and should I get my own hotel for a few days? This will be really expensive right, to make travel arrangments for going to and throughout the city (cause his car is at his LI home), and for food/provisions, hotel nights, etc?
I mean I'd stay with him & he wants me to, but he lives in a guy's dorm during the school year ... and with his parents during the summer ..

Basically if anyone has met a "friend" from online, how did you set up the meet? Granted I'll talk to him more as the time comes, but yeah, just some tips plz?

There is a great, super-cheap youth hostel in Philly called Bank Street Hostel. It's awesome.
I've traveled to visit a guy that I had only known online, but we had a mutual friend and so it was easy and I trusted him. Don't plan on staying with him until you've met him in person and gone out a few times. Just go and stay with other friends in the area or in a youth hostel. Don't plan on a hotel room -- that will just tempt you into rushing things. ;-) No matter how much you think you know him (and you're probably right about him), he could still turn out to be a creep, so just take care of your safety before you rush into anything.

Your most important concern, even though you've been talking for a long time, should remain safety.You didn't mention if you have seen his picture or know anyone else who knows him, and you're "flying' off to meet him.You won't be in your "comfort zone".I get the feeling you're more concerned about his feelings and his nervousness , but that may be a red flag for you. Everybody gets anxious when they meet a new prospect, and you hope it will work out. But for your own personal safety, make a friend with someone at the hotel(I assume there will be one) and let then know where you are going with your friend.Use your cell & keep in contact with someone @ home;Feel uncomfortable? Leave!

I'm in PA and have gone to VA to meet someone after talking for about 6 months. It all depends how comfortable you are where you stay. You never know if you are going to click for sure in person, so you may want to just go with a plan of a hotel room and go from there. If no one is going with you, be sure someone knows where you are going and has all the information on this guy you have (first and last name, phone, address etc) better safe than sorry. Good luck! If you want to know anything specific email me directly, don't really want to put all the info from my meeting out here.

im in the same position, i have an online love, im in england and hes in egypt, i dun get to tlk to him alot since he started back uni and its driving me insane, but i love him. And if this guy loves you and cared about you he would know that its better for the guy to some to see the girl and not the other way round. Also if hes with his parents in summer mayb he can tell them hes going somewhere esle for a few weeks, and come and see you? it wouldn't be a good idea if you saw him in his guys dorms,i kno you hear this all the time coz i do too! but its still important to be safe! good luck! ^.^

I think he is the one who should go visit you
He should stay in a hotel
and you should meet ONLY in public places, say for a weekend
And I wouldn`t trust to be alone with him, after at least 2 or 3 weekends like that

i wouldn't personallly know. But if you honestly trust this person,I would advice meeting in a public area. Say for dinner at a resturaunt,where everyone is around you. Build a trust,but always be in public settings.
Don't stay at his house,stay at a hotel,etc. Just take normal precautions. Goodluck

It was a hazy evening... she got off the train, we locked eyes for the first time...
We lost ourselves in immediate passion. We headed to the custodian closet and made sweet love.
When I awoke, I found my testicles had been removed, and in their place was a pentagram in lamb's blood... the Witch's Coven had struck again.
Beware.

Get in touch with him however you normally commuicate. Ask him if he's able to fly anywhere when he gets free time (i.e. spring break ) if so, just agree to fly somewhere neutral and kick it.
