I need opinions on a possible long distance relationship that started online
First of all... Hello everyone!! :p I haven't been around in awhile, and I hope that things are looking up for those that I used to see here.
OK, I need some opinions and advice. In Nov. I started an online friendship with a guy that I met on a site that is owned by the company I work for. It was just a friendship, nothing more. I was still trying to get over "whats his name" at that time, and couldn't even think of anyone else. :rolleyes:... Well, over the course of that time this new guy and I have discovered how much we really enjoy talking to each other. We had just started by e-mailing each other, but then we started chatting on IM with our webcams (nothing sexual, just a way to see each other). The past couple of weeks we've added phone conversations to the mix as well. We seem to have a good bit in common and every time we chat we never seem to run out of things to say. He's never said anything out of the way or in any way made me feel uncomfortable.
He lives a little over 400 miles from me which does bother me a bit, but I'm really willing to overlook that. He runs his own business from home, and travels some to be a vendor at various collector shows along the lower East coast. Next month he will be doing a show about 200 miles from me and he has asked if I would like to meet him there to help him out with the show (a way for me to make some extra money), and for us to be able to get to know each other in person.
Ok, so my question is... Should I go? Am I stupid for wanting to?. Give it to me straight... Good experiences and bad. Tell me if I should go for it or if I'm about to make the biggest mistake of my life... Hit me with all that you've got, because I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons here, and you guys have always been so upfront with me, and I really respect your opinions... I'm just still trying to deal with the fact that I'm actually able to feel anything for ANYONE after that last trainwreck of a relationship I went through!!
