Would you fly to another country to meet a potential soul mate?

"Would you fly to another country to meet a potential soul mate?"​

No. I wouldn't start anything with anyone who lived too far away, like in Europe. Someone from the United States or Canada, perhaps, but he'd have to come to me. I can't imagine that ever happening, but you never know. :rolleyes:
 
It's too dangerous to do that now. Too many scammers. But I did meet my hubby when he was here studying. He's from Switzerland. We dated and fell in love then I went to live in Switzerland with him for a while and loved it! And now we live here in the US. :giggle: Doing it that way I would say yes because our relationship started out in person, not online. But to fly to another country to meet someone you've never seen in person, no, I would say have him come to you. He's the man, he should come to you first. Then see him in person and get to know him. (y)I would like to go back to Switzerland again, things are too crazy here in the US right now.
 
I wouldn't. But a woman did travel from out of state to meet me. We met on a forum & she had some vacation time from her job.
Her sons did a detailed background check on me, which was OK with me. I took her everywhere she wanted to go, sightseeing, nice dinners, shooting range, etc. didn't let her pay for anything, paid her hotel & half her plane fare & I thought we had a great time, But she was very upset when she didn't get what she wanted - which was a marriage proposal. Then she got really nasty & I blocked her e-mails.

My energy is restored when I find a spark that may ignite a romance.
Those sparks are fewer and fewer.
No, I wouldn't travel out of the country at this time on a maybe thing. I did once about 7 years ago. Nice guy, but no sparks. Still, we stay in touch as friends. That's all it ever was.

That old saying, "if God had meant us to fly he would have given us wings," was always on my mind as I strapped in. My wife and I crossed the pond many times, it was a ten hour flight. In all that time my seatbelt stayed firmly on, all meals refused and I only sipped small amounts of water to placate my wife. I didn't want my bladder screaming at me. We flew to The States and back many, many times, as well as European destinations and I can honestly say that I have never seen the toilets on an airplane. Oops, yes I have, I saw the ones on Concorde when we visited an aircraft museum.

Hard to imagine, but you never know what you will do until the opportunity strikes...

That's interesting, you seem to be the only person here who has done it. Would you be comfortable sharing some of your experience with us?

Twenty-plus years ago I lived and worked in Asia. There was little chance of meeting a soulmate (of any nationality) where I was.

I went online. At the time, very few Canadian men were on dating sites, so I looked at American men's profiles. I flew to meet three men in the US. Each of them drove quite far to meet me at the airport.

The first man was not a match. The second one was, and after us both visiting back and forth, we were going to get married, but he died suddenly. The third one was also (I thought) a match, but after I moved to the US to be with him, he accused me of "just using" him for a green card. (Which was ridiculous.)

People talk about body language and so on, but for some reason I find it much easier to get to know someone in writing.

As for the man going to meet the woman, that is a nice idea, but in my experience very unlikely. Also, each man already owned his own home, so part of the reason for my going to meet him was to see where we'd be living.
