Well, I thought I'd just let everyone know I'm meeting someone Sat. I met through eharmony. We've been e-mailing and talking daily for I guess a week. He seems like a really nice guy. He lives about 3 hours from though. I'm keeping everyone's advice though and not eliminating everyne else. It's awkward though. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm meeting him where he lives. It was my choice. He was shocked by that and kept asking if I was really sure I wanted to drive. His car is getting fixed to fit U.S. standards right now, but he offered to come up to me anyway. He said renting a car was no big deal. He even suggested coming up to see me next when I get back from a trip. He really is thoughtful. He just sent me an e-card wishing me a good day and week and said that he hasn't been able to get me out of his mind since we've started talking. O.k. I'm not used to this kind of flattery, but I can't say I mind it :). He really seems like a sincere person.

Although I strongly advise against it....where are you meeting him in his town?

Why do you advise against it? For safety reasons? I don't know how to explain it, but I honestly trust this guy. We've talked for hours (I know everyone says not to do that because you build up tomy expectation, but we just get talking and lose track of time.) He went to his brother's elopment in Vegas and told me a sight I could go on to see it and I did. In other words, so far, he has been straight with everything he's told me. He's very respectful and even said I could bring whomever I wanted to bring on the date with me if I was leery which he totally understood. I could go on, but the main idea is that I'm not naive, putting myself in an unsafe situation (I plan to call someone when I get there, ect.), and know that I might meet him and be all wrong about him. So far, he seems like a true gentleman which is a rare find I have found.

Hi Momma,


I once talked to a man for a month via phone and emails who lived 3 hours from me. We decided to meet 1/2 way, at a small university town that I had wanted to see anyway. Here's how it unfolded:


1) I got off at the wrong exit and couldn't find the gas station he was talking about. So, I pulled into the closest one I could find and called him on my cell. He sounded annoyed that I had messed up. Told me to wait there, and he would get there in about 10 minutes.


2) Since I only knew him from pictures, he drove right up next to me and parked, got out and walked into the gas station without even noticing me. I immediately noticed he was shorter and balder than his pictures. I mustered up the courage to go inside the station and call out to him.


3) He turned around and "LOUDLY" said, "How could you have gotten lost?" My heart fell to the floor. His

I know what you're talking about. However, from conversations and e-mails we have had I know that sex isn't going to be an issue. It's sort of already been addressed. He is looking for a best friend. He is very thoughtful and respectful in the way he talks. It's hard to explain and keep the e-mail short, but I'm not worried about him being anything more than a gentleman. I don't know if the chemistry will be there and I am be realistic about that. We'll just see how it goes. I will certainly up date you on Sunday.
