On Saturday I meet the guy I have been communicating with from Match.com. He lives in Canada and I am in Ohio. I am taking a bus trip to see him, and he's meeting me 2 hours from his home. I am excited about finally meeting him, and the trip is basically free because it's a casino trip that leaves daily, and I return 5 hours later. I think 5 hours is a great amount of time to see if our chemistry online and on the phone can cross borders. I am also trying to stay realistic about my expectations. Sometimes the person isn't the same in person as they are online, but I truly enjoy this guy. He's seen me have 2 work drama melt downs and he's been calm and able to tell me to relax. I can't wait to return to the post with my update. Wish me well! DOn't worry, I will be in a very public area!

Sounds great. 5 hours should be plenty of time to get to know him better in person...if anything, it's too long (unless he is just totally amazing!) Have fun!

It was amazing. The chemistry was instant and I felt like a teen again. He even brought me a gift representing his country, very thoughtful. The time flew, but the last hour was kind of melancholy. We kissed a few times and joked about seeing each other again. I don't know when this will happen, but I am putting the ball in his court to arrange it. He's never been to the states. I hope he comes in the next 2 weeks. And the kisses.....OMG! Thanks for the encouragement and support.
