I was visiting family in Arizona(from Florida) for Thanksgiving. I went on POF to see this girl. She drove 20 miles to see me. I meet her and she is a HB9 and we clicked so much. She begged me to come back out for Christmas to see her. She said the worst that can happen is that your parents and family are here. So, ok. She has a point. I dont see my parents much--maybe once every 4 years.
I flew back to florida with--thinking to myself---this girl is different and what if? What if she is my next girlfriend? She is single, cute, no kids, and a great attitude. You just sense things.

I mulled over my 3 options for two days.
1.) Stay home for christmas by myself again this year, celebrate New Years alone, and be bored for 2 weeks by myself. Yes, I go on dates here. But the women here in florida generally s*ck. Not your typical relationship types. Divorcees with kids, psychos, and beach party goers.
2.) Spend another $360 to buy a plane ticket to go see her again. She is picking me up at the airport and Im spending a few days with her. Then back at my parents for christmas then, out with her again for New Years. Plus she is taking time off for work to see me. She wants a relationship and we talk everyday. She is really interested and nice too.She has been honest with me so far telling me what she is going to do and has it all planned out. She wants to watch football, take me to my parents on sunday, then pick me up again on wednesday.
3.) Worst case scenario. She blows me off. Women tend to get flakey sometimes. I met this girl on POF. And POF girls are sometimes distrustful. But this girl wants a relationship badly. She is tired of meeting trashy guys. But POF girls all across the country are not created equal. There are better quality girls in Arizona and Illinois than in Florida by far. If she blows me off I lost $360 bucks. But it is not just a bootycall I am seeking. I am seeking fun, food, friends, and good times with her. I always got my parents place to stay at in case things dont work out. So not all is lost. I might be humilated if she blows me off. If she lived in California or some other state, then no, I wouldnt be flying out meet her. Plus, I got a chance to meet with her for 3 hours and we talked. We just really hit it off. I do have ties to Arizona and I may be moving out there or chicago(something I planned a few months ago) within the next year. She loved hearing that. She says if she likes me enough and we get into a relationship she would move to chicago with m without question. She also said she wants to buy a plane ticket to see me in March. Well, thats fine and dandy...but im the one paying to go out there first. I asked her to buy half my plane fare. She said she took a chance on me. Do the same for me. In which she did. She was vulnerable about meeting me. But I finally convinced her.

The only thing that bothers me is that women are supposed to fly to see the men.I feel desperate because im spending money to see her. But I really dont want her coming to florida to see me because florida is a crappy state. I would much, much rather go out there to arizona. So much more to do out there and more fun. Im a little embarrassed by this state. I count the days before i leave this state. I have been here 11 years too long. Im done with it. Im either moving back to Arizona or Chicago. Both great cities with lots to offer.

Anyway, she emails me everyday and does show very high interest. I just have to keep the momentum going for the next 3 weeks before I fly out there. She texted me from a club last night and said lot of goodlooking guys here, but they all want one night stands--i dont wnat that---i want a relationship. She said I want to be with you and I cant wait for you to come out to see me! Our first date was great and I like your emails. Your so sexy and handsome, etc etc. bad sign she is at a club with her friend. But positive text.

So it looks good so far, she seems honest, but things can change. I am tryign to be slightly aloof.
Was I smart to buy another plane ticket? What do I have to lose? Rejection is better than regret? She might be my future wife. Who knows?

Everyone is going to tell you that you're being young and naive. And they're right. But the one thing that you have going for you is that she sounds even more naive and idealistic than you do. As long as it stays that way, then you might end up ok. Try to keep your head and remember than womens' minds can change very quickly. At the moment, she has you built up in her head as Mr Right. Go with it. Culture her fantasy of love, and enjoy it while it lasts.

sometimes you have to take a chance...it may turnout to be the best thing you ever did maybe it turns out to be nothing. Just go into it with an open mind that whatever happens is ok. Far better to trust your gut than to shut something down because someone on sosuave sais ldr's are no good and afc.

I support your decision to go see her, she seems quality enough and you would be going somewhere new and cool for New Years instead of passing out while watching p0rn on your computer or something with a **** Clark New Special from 1985 playing on repeat in the background.

Even if she is trash, you still taken action by going over to AZ, you can go ahead and just hang out there and check the tourist sites while meeting new people over there. A good way to recharge from Florida...

OP will learn. Never travel more than 50 miles for p*ssy.

Ah, the folly of youth.

Indeed. What I find even funnier than his actions are the guys who confuse wisdom with being a hater or naysayer.

Hell I remember when I was 18 I flew to a different country to hook back up with the girl I thought I'd marry. - Only saw her once the entire two day trip.
Ask me if I ever did it again. :kick:

I'm all for risks - especially illegal ones. (I've almost done it all except fraud and murder) but dam* man, have a backbone - you appear to be taking this trip for all the wrong reasons. Too much television. Wasting time and resources (money). Find something your passionate about and they will come....

Rocko,

It's Xmas time and I'm assuming her family is in Arizona too? It makes more sense for you to go there so I wouldn't worry about that issue.

Something that doesn't add up to me is how a HB9 with apparently all her shyt together is desperate for a relationship and looking on POF. That is like a one in a million situation Rocko. Are you really being honest with yourself here? Make sure you are thinking 100% clearly with your eyes wide open before you make any big decisions.

You are the only one able to accurately judge her interest level and just how genuine she really is. If she really is as great as you say then I'd willing to stick myself out there a too. I'd be cautious as ever but if you really want something great you have to take some risks.

When I first met my wife she was moving away in 2 weeks. She was amazing to me and we clicked like never before. Despite all those amazing feelings and times we had, she eventually had to move. A week later she came back to visit me. The following week I went to visit her. I went back home after that visit and within a few days she had decided to move to my city and live with me. I was back there the next weekend helping her move. So within 2 weeks and a couple weekends after that I had a live in girlfriend. We lived together for 3 years, got married and now are at five years and going strong.

In my experience crazy good things do happen. In my experience there are such things as "cosmic" connections too.

Are you brave enough to explore the possibilities? Can you trust your own judgements?

Since you are visiting your parents as well, I'd say this is fine. But, please don't tell her (or us) that SHE was the reason you came out there. Nothing will make her interest level plummet faster. Also, DO NOT tell her you want a relationship- tell her you want to see where things go.

When girls come on that strong before even hooking up, it usually means a) they're desperate, or b) it's a massive "s#it test" to get you to spill your AFC neediness and play into her frame.

Your job to remain a challenge, even if you really like her. Cut out all that relationship talk for now and just have fun with her.

AIM was the best way to meet women online back in the day. Much better than an online dating site.

One year ago today I completed a 1200 mile trip to see a girl who I had met once and who was waiting in a hotel room for me. I was driving through her city in a cross country job relocation. Anyhow, it was one of the best nights of my life. We dated for 6 months. Do it.

Im going out to see her. I'm sure trip to see her will be outstanding. Things are going to happen. No doubt. We both like each other a lot.

But the money I am spending is ridiculous. $360 for airfare. Then bringing another $140 with me to pay for New Years and dinners with her. Shes going to pay half.
All in all $500 for the two week trip. I will spend most of the time with her and spend about 4 days with my parents.

I spent $300 on my last airfare two weeks ago. So all in all two vacations in two months cost---$800. Ouch.

Sometimes whats the point of life? We live to work. We live to get laid. We live to have fun. In the end we die broke.

I guess I could save the $500 and stay home for Christmas and New Years. Then I would be bored and lonely.

I travel a lot too. It's not cheap, but it's a very fun, rewarding, and confidence building experience. Go on this trip, have a great time, then take a break for a few months to save up for the next one :) .

QFT. Can't wait to hear your report. 90% chance of failure but hey, you don't get wise without a lot of pain. It would be even worse for you if you have a great time. It's like walking into a casino when you're 18 and hitting a jackpot on your first slot machine pull. You'll be a gambler for life and eventually lose big.

ugh ...zarkey are you always this negative? So if it turns out great then what are you going to say? "You got lucky, but it was still dumb that you bought a plane to see a girl for sex."

Keep in mind its Christmas and Im still seeing my parents whom I never get to see. She is the bonus. If it happens great, if it doesn't I still get to see more of my family. I would never see a girl whom I had no CLOSE TIES to a state due to family. if she lived in Texas and I knew no one there, then hell no I would not go. But my brother, family and friends all live in Arizona.

It may turn out to be a great time. I'm willing to spend the dough no matter what because its fun out there!

Doesn't matter what any of us think or say. Go and experience it for yourself.

I was loveblind for my oneitis in the past and left the country a bit for her. Thought she was the one and all that jazz and it completely backfired. However the life experience and wisdom gained from that experience is something that I am very grateful for and I have no regrets.
