Hi there,

Please read my posts hopeful. I am wondering how old you are and the age of your man also. Please take into account Luigi's sage advice on this blog. I may not want to always agree with what he says but I read his answers with great regard. My head tells me mostly he is talking sense (although my heart tells me otherwise).

I still intend to meet my man but he is coming to me in December .I am not financial enough to travel which he is aware of and I have no intention to travel alone to another country to meet up with someone I have only talked to on internet ,webcam and phone, even at my age 50 I would never take this chance or risk even for love.

Trust is something that builds up in time as a relationship develops. Of course the initial attraction plays a big part too as in any relationship.

Go meet this man , have a good time but have no expectations, take it slow and steady and see what develops. Cultural differences is huge as I for one realise. At the same time there are good people in all parts of our wonderful world. The point is we have just got to find them.

Good luck hopeful.
