My family has been notified that I'm meeting my online man. I will find out what they will say soon since they are in another country. I thought it best to tell them since the way things are going with my online man is really getting serious. My family usually does not think much of the men I meet. But, this time my online man seems decent. He talks to me daily and is coming from another country to meet me. I know much about him as he does about me. I told him about my illness since he told me his minor illnesses. He is mentally stable but has minor physical illnesses controlled by diet. I felt compelled to be honest since he was being honest with me. He and I met online from a dating website. He was a paying member and I was not. I was not looking for anything serious but decided to contact him because he seemed like a decent guy in his profile. Well, so far, for two months we've been talking daily and have found out we really like each other. I am glad he is coming next week to visit me for a few days. I am not expecting much except that he is a decent man with a good heart. He works hard too- on the weekends and overtime. I was thinking it probably does not leave him much time to do anything else. But, he is a dedicated worker, and I respect him for this. I decided to tell my family about our meeting because he is coming all the way over to meet me and truthfully I wanted my family to know about him. I like him much already. I think meeting him will even make me like him even more. I am happy. He is divorced with two kids who are adults. I am divorced too. He is really sweet and is truly unbelievably a kind person. I thought he can't be this nice but he listens to my stories with attention and always offers a kind response. Nobody else has done this for me. Even my family ignores me half of the time. He has been divorced for four years and I for almost ten years now. So, we are ready for a relationship. I hope when we meet the chemistry is still there. I've seen him on webcam and in photos so I'm not worried about his appearance but more about getting along in person. I have never met such a nice man online or anywhere. Of course, he is not perfect nor am I. The other men I'v dated here were all married so I never brought them up to my family. But, I finally am meeting a truly nice man who is single and is really sincere. He is my Christmas present!! I hope to be his too. I am not thinking they are going to be any major problems. I accept him as he is. I hope he remains happy as I am.

I am very happy for you to be able to meet someone who you have a connection with and have met online is a wonderful thing. I really hope it works out for you, it sounds like you are happy with him. It just goes to show how many great people there are in the world. Also, I can totally relate with the feeling of "this person is too good to be true". <3

Hope all goes well.

Congrats on the newfound relationship

Can I please urge you to make your initial dates in public places though? Cafes / cinema etc

That's what I did with my now almost 2 year relationship with my partner the first few times we met (through eHarmony).

Good luck moving forward!

Thank you all for the support!!

[MickeyCheeky]

Let us know how it goes!

So, there is bad news. He slipped and fell on the ice today. He insists he will come still, but I told him to go to the doctor to make sure he does not have a fracture. He fell on his knee he said. I am hoping he is still coming. But, if he can't, I will understand. I am still hoping for the best and that he will be able to come.

[MickeyCheeky]

Sorry to hear that Let's hope it's not too bad.

[bpforever1]

He went to the doctor and does not have a fracture. I am relieved. He is coming here to meet me. I am so excited!! I was worried all night last night until I slept and woke up to read his message that he can come. I was concerned about his condition because he hit his knee. He did not think about going to the doctor until I told him. I'm glad we know he is fine now and can come here without worrying about his knee. I am really happy again.

I sometimes get cold feet and don't want to continue this relationship. But, I promised to meet him and will. What happens from here is up in the air. I feel anxious and feel really overwhelmed but am happy. I feel anxious because it is a long -distance relationship and don't know if I can visit him in the east of the USA where he lives. I would like to visit but don't have the money to do so. I have to tell him this. I am barely making it here. He knows my job situation and about my illness but still wants to meet me. He knows I don't make much money. I will just take it one day at a time with him. I am happy about his coming and am really happy he accepts me as I am. I hope we continue as a couple although I am scared about the future.

We still talk daily and he is coming here in two days. I am excited but anxious. I feel very touched he is coming to see me from the states to here. I am speechless. I like him but know the chemistry might be different in person. So, I have to see what happens and go with the flow. The best case scenario is that we like each other in person too and continue as a couple. The worst case scenario is that we don't like each other. I am not expecting too much as usual. I expect that we will get along. He knows about my illness and is coming with me to the doctor's office so I can get refills. I am a bit flabbergasted but realized he might want to see the town where the doctor is located. It is a nice resort town. Also, we are meeting initially at the airport and shall see if we click when we meet. I am meeting him at the airport when he arrives. Hopefully, he likes me as much as I like him. I don't think I can be rude if we don't like each other though. But, I am thinking it won't happen. We talk daily and know each other's schedule.He listens to me and my problems. I also do the same for him. He is not mentally ill though like I am. So, I am wondering why he likes me so much? I will find out soon. He says I am nice and sweet. Well, so is he. hmmm. Like attracts like? I don't know. So, everything is up in the air. I'm pretty mellow so even if things go wrong, I take it as it comes. If things go right, well, I will be happy. I have been waking him up by calling him daily. He likes this and relies on me. I did not call on time once, and he was late to go to work. This is when he slipped on the ice. I was unhappy for him. But, I was wondering why he can't wake up on his own? Hmmmm. I don't rely on him to wake me up so am fine. I am wondering if he expects me to care for him. I can barely take care of myself so it would be quite a laugh if he expects me to care for him. I will try but don't think I will cut it. I will do my best to make us both happy. I will not rush into marriage or anything too serious until I really get to know him. I've had a really bad marriage before and don't need another one. If we get along, I will take a year or two before I commit to something serious. There is no need to rush. I am in no hurry to go anywhere.

So, he is coming tomorrow and we talked this morning. I was manic and irritable but he was accommodating. I took my medication and calmed down. I don't know. I think we will know if we will click in the first hour or so when we meet. But, I promised to be with him five days. I can't just leave him alone. He is coming all the way from the states. I am anxious and may need to run around to release my anxiety. I ate a nice Christmas meal with herb roast chicken, dutch apple pie, and coffee. I am happy. Sometimes I wonder who needs a man? But, I am lonely and got myself into this situation. My family is in the states too. So, this will probably be the last time I meet someone from another country if it does not work out. I am not interested in hurting anybody or being hurt. I will go with the flow. I am expecting nothing, but am hoping for the best. Merry Xmas!!

Good luck

So, I called him tonight to wake him up and he was already awake. He made it to the airport. He is now waiting at the airport for his flight. I am so excited!! Well, tomorrow is another day.

He is boarding the plane now. Wow!!

[bpforever1]

So, I met him and we went to the beach where my doctor is. We had a good time. Unfortunately, his father is sick so he had to cut short his time with me. It is ok. We had a good time yesterday and today. I am happy we met. I am sure we will meet again soon. Happy Holidays!!

Glad you had a nice time.
