He's from Canada

I started an ad on match about 2 days ago and have been communicating with this Canadian for about 2 days straight. He's 6 years younger,attractive and sweet. He's about 5 hours from me, since I live in Ohio. But of course I am the worry wart. The what ifs have set in. What if we meet and we aren't attracted to each other, what if we are and this distance thing. I know I need to relax and let things either happen or not happen, but I have never done the long distance dating thing. I think he would drive here tomorrow if I said ok. I want to meet him in about 2 weeks (when I get my hair done) lol Hard sound advice needed.

Keep your expectations realistic.

Thanks Vexer. I talked to him today and we are both on the same page about taking our time to meet. I keep your advice close to heart because I tend to date one guy at a time. I want to try to date a few guys until someone says to me, "I want to be exclusive: and I feel the same way. I tend to be a guarded woman, so even though he infatuates me, I don't want to be a pessimist and think nothing will work out. I also don't want to be too rose colored glasses and think he's the love of my life after 3 days of communication. I will say I like him, I am intrigued and I am looking forward to getting to know him, while continuing to date around until or if we get to another level. Thanks so much!!!!
