I think it can't hurt to get out - but I would NOT look at him as any sort of prospect and would probably delete - because he is not here now ready now and never mind that he has kids in Germany. In my mind I would think he is looking for a hookup while he is here. And I know I don't want to be a hookup.
I agree with Judy- it wouldn't hurt to meet him, but only as a friend. I've heard of LDR, but another COUNTRY away just isn't for me! Unless you made a LOT of money and could fly there on weekends, otherwise it's just a hookup when he's in town.
If he's willing to change his plans, then do meet him, have a great time and let us know ALL about it!
As for pompous ass dude, I didn't feel a great braggy vibe from the bit of his email you posted, but perhaps he has a need to build himself up because he has no self esteem, and to no return your nicely left message about getting together another day? fuh-ged abowd it. NEXT-A!
Well I am not usually a pessimist in fact quite the opposite. But I got a wierd suspicion about this. What if he is married and just lying his butt off. I mean, it would be so easy for him to get away with it. His wife would never see anything if he found himself a lady while in another country, and he won't put his face on the online profile (coincedentally). Sorry-- I hate being the pessimist. But you're right, there is no harm in meeting for a drink..but if he wants to move along fast (physically) I'd be wary of his "while in town" intentions.
Hmmm ... I take all of your advice on being careful - But, i never even thought of the fact that he doesnt have his picture up, being a flag. Interesting. I did of course have it cross my mind that he could easily have an affair on a wife b/c he lives b/w both countries, but i dont get a FEELING he is a player (then again, who can tell in emails?)
He seems sincere. So far. Again, that means technically nothing. But I will certainly make sure that the physical aspects dont over-ride any common sense on my part. Here is some of how he explained his current situation - he has said in the past his kids live nearby with the wife, but he is able to see them almost daily as they stop by after school, etc. (his punctuation is bad! lol Run-on sentences!)
