I am 35 and recently met a guy online (my age) and we have really hit it off. We have exchanged photos and still very much like each other. The problem is that I live in Canada and he lives in England. What are the chances that this will work out? Also, what are the chances that he is trying to use me, and it's not really what I'm hoping it is?

Well darling that's a difficult situation. I myself met my husband online( myspace actually) and we were also long distance, however not that far away. He lived in NYC while I was in Atlanta. But hey things worked out and we are curently together. As for your situation, that's a bit more difficult because of the international difference and you two have no idea what the other person is doing when they are not online with you. I personally can relate, but the distance would defiantly worry me, but I can't say for sure if he is trying to use you or not, but what I will say is stay on your toes and don't allow yourself to get caught up but at the same time trust in your relationship and I'm sure it will work out. Who knows maybe you might end up like my husband and I. I hope I helped :)

Let me tell you one thing about internet relationships.
Everythings well over the phone and over the internet. But sometimes when you meet - your expectations of them are different and you get dissapointed by what the person is like when u meet him or her. Because you've been speaking to them for so long you've built up what you think they are like, but when u meet them they aren't.
Also it's easy to lie on the internet and to be someone else, where as person to person you can tell if the other is making up stuff. On the internet you can think about what you're going to say before saying it.
I think the internets a good place to meet people (its a bit too scary for me to do tho), but i think if you drag it out too long without meeting them it makes it hard. Be careful as everyone has said, and dont give him money!

Use you? What for?
I say, avoid inter-contiental internet dating. Even if you hit it off, are you ready for a culture change? Is he?
I thought there was like, a 4 to 1 ratio of men to women in Canada.

just take it slow and dont give him any money. also when it comes time to meet he needs to make the trip! not you. you may want to see england but for the first meeting it needs to be on your terms. meeting a stranger is a bit dicey so dont put your money and safety on the line for a man you dont know about just yet. but have fun and it could work. anything is possible! have fun!

My bf has to shuttle for 3 hours to get to me, i be conscious of its no longer fairly lengthy distance yet that does advise i visit frequently in person-friendly words see him on the wekends. the great thing about lengthy distance is that the courting will in person-friendly words very last in case your thoroughly one hundred% extreme, so there aren't any believe themes. Plus i met my bf on the information superhighway!! he he! So im no longer adverse to both, ive been with my bf for 1yr 5months and couldent be happier!! he he!

Unless one of you is going to travel to meet, the chances are nil. Also, even if you care for each other, someone will have to relocate.
