Okay, need reminders about internet dating...

So far, Candace, all of us have said to trust your instincts. That's why we have them and if we listen and follow them, they usually steer us away from trouble.

Thanks again. Mary, he hasn't insisted on meeting...he just seemed to think that where I am was 'on the way back' to Va from the UK. Nope, kind of a long scenic route to do that!

Nothing feels really "off" yet...a couple of minor things which could be anything. I am not being unduly flattered, or bragged to. Which is good.

So we shall see. I think an in-person meeting will have to happen at some point and will really help.

On the other hand - some people, even on the Net, are what they say they are.

Ok, good. I don't want to sound like a harpie or a know-it-all. I just want you to be safe. And happy. It's true that some people are what they say they are, even on the Net. You're a genuine person, so am I, and I'd like to believe that there are men out there who are, too. I guess we just don't hear enough of the success stories, just the scary ones, although several success stories have been posted on this thread, so I'm encouraged and I hope you are, too. Please keep us posted on this. It's exciting!
