I'm in this same situation. I've be chatting to a guy for 2 years he's in Canada but is coming summer to my country where we are both from... I've decide that I will meet him. With advice... i've decided that we will meet at public places first... it will be different when we meet face to face... i'm so nervous and i can't stop thinking about it. What kind of ring does have... you don't wanna get married again... especially not to someone you met over the internet... date for a little... it could work... maybe you should try to do background checks on him to be safe... see if the name he's using is real. Get an address... references... trust me ... you can never be too sure... if you do all that and he checks out go for it... maybe you find true love... good luck.

I think its hard to say as it has worked for some but not for others. The only advice i can give is take your time and really get to know this person and spend time together before you make any decisions sometimes people don't turn out to be who you think they are and that goes for an kind if relationship not matter how you meet. Make sure everything that he says is genuine its very easy to say things but to mean it and make it work is completely different. You have only been divorced for 6 months so you may just be enjoying the attention that he is showing you which is understandable but take it for what it is and don't fall for him on the rebound. Good luck hope all works out for the best

Be careful! It's a lot easier to take advantage of someone when you've never met them. Be sure of who he is, before you meet, lots of pictures, even talking on the phone before hand would be a good idea. You can't really size someone up without meeting them in person. With that said, good things can happen & it may turn into the best that you could have hoped for. But certainly ere on the side of caution first.
Good Luck!

Yeah sometimes they do work but from what you have said you are in a vunerable state bearing in mind you have just split up with you husband, I really wouldnt rush into anything and have some you time. If you have poured your heart out to this guy he may think you are an easy touch and just need to feel wanted and loved!! If you can trust him and think that is safe then go for it, but pls be careful.

the first thing you need to think bout is if this man has met u off the internet how many other people has he met and also is he still meeting people evn tho he has met u also how do you know that he isn't married
when he moves here does he just expect to move in with you straight away and also would he be living with you if you married or would u be living in a house u bought togeter you need to think long and hard about whether this man is just using you

NEVER agree to marry a person you've NEVER met face to face! You will also need to do a criminal background test on him! I met my b/f online thru emode.com 4.5 yrs ago. He didn't live very far from me. We dated face to face for 10 months before I moved in with him. Now I bought a house and he's been living with me for a yr. I made him get fingerprinted and found that he had a domestic violence TPO against him back in 1999 by his exwife. You will need to find out if there is anything YOU might need to know BEFORE this stranger comes to YOUR house...I was lucky to have found this out NOW instead of AFTER a marriage. I will NOT marry this one. good luck

Simple answer I don't see anything wrong with internet dating but you might want to take it a bit slower.We a lot of times take relationships slow when they are face to face well when they are not we need to slow down some more. Remember internet relationships are edited. When faced to face it cant be as much cause it will eventually come out.

Online dating can rock and it can sincerely suck. But hey, only six months eh? I'm not one to advise, trust me. however, don't you think a ring is a bit much too soon? Take it sloooower. and meeeeet in a ppppublic place!
Just a word of caution.

done it , as have my friends and family...
my friend had the same thing with a guy from america, he came overf and with all the giddiness of the joys of enjoying and fliriting for the previuos year, he came over and in the end there was no chemistry for either of them. it was destroying for her, we were all sad for her as she was so happy before hand..
take your time, and explain to him that if you put presure on the situation it could blow under it. his holiday over to you should just be a holiday to get to see each other and spend time with each other..
take your time, it has worked out for a friend of mine, but the others are searching!
Good luck
