Should i meet this guy whom i've been emailing back and forth?
We've been emailing back and forth for around 7 months now. I've always really thought of him as an email buddy and nothing more because we live so far away but now he has proposed to visit me. He lives in another state. I told him yes without really thinking it through. Now i'm thinking it could be dangerous. I think i know him enough. He seems like a really nice guy and is very understanding but who really knows with online people. I've never met anyone from the internet before so i'm really nervous about this. Should i meet him or not? Could he be a dangerous rapist or something? I have not talked to him on the phone yet, just email. I think it's too late to back out because he has already bought a plane ticket and i would feel really bad for sabotaging this whole week of vacation that he has planned for us to spend together. Tell me what to do!
And yes, he is coming just to visit me. Meeting him in a public place is a good idea but stupid me! I agreed to pick him up from the airport so even if we do meet in a public place i'll still have to drive him to his hotel. I may just be too paranoid due to horror stories because I do think he is a very nice guy but i've also heard never to turst someone from online. Please give me more replies. P.S where can i buy mace? lol

Not speaking on the phone?... that's kind of awkward. He's obviously interested in you but since it is too late, when you go out with him make sure it's in a public place where there are many people around you. Never be alone with him. Be careful! You never know what could happen... Please, please be careful!

Some people have been married for over 20 years and learned things about each other they didn't think possible.
If you meet him in an open place preferably not too late at night you may be fine.
Your first thought was it is OK. You already agreed-too late now since he already paid for his ticket.
Be sure to tell a friend or relative where you are going and what you are wearing.
you don't want to give him the impression that you are afraid which would ignite devilment from a person with bad intentions.
so please don't make several calls while out with him.
What you should also think about is what if you are not attracted to him or run out of things to say while in person.
I'm not going to strain your brain. Pray to for the best action and follow the message from within.
Do you have life Insurance? lol

Well, is he coming all the way just to meet you? Or is it a side trip? Plus, how serious do you take the relationship? If you feel really uncomfortable, you can still back out. If you decide to meet him, do it in a public place such as a cafe or restaurant. At least that way you can get a first impression, and make further judgements, without taking any serious risks. Better safe than sorry. Good Luck!

I think 7 months is enough time for you to know him, so why not?? meet him ,, maybe you'll find different things in him ,, good and bad but it's ok cz you're not marrying him! just go ahead and know him better and if you didn't feel comfortable after you saw him in real you can back of , it's up to you.

if you are sure that he is coming only because you said yes then it is obligatory on your part to met him but not necessary to spend days with him. better you take your brother /cousin or a good friend of yours when you meet him. after spending some time with him you will come to know what type of person he is and what are his intentions , then you can decide further course of action.

dont do it, i've read so many articles about this kind of relationship and one ends up with sumthing bad. when you do meet him, ask a guy friend to follow you around just to make sure he isnt dangerous.
