This is not hard to decide, meet him in a public place around noon. Keep all your meetings public.

Go for it!! Some of my best friends (many of whom Ive met in person, and a few who I havent) are people I met online first. My husband and I met through a local sportbike forum.. we met in person because there was a bike night every week, but we were both at the bike night with people we knew from the local forums.. we started out as just friends!

Nothing wrong with being friends online, and meeting them. You guys might have a blast!

So, when we talk he says he is sick of women and doesn't want to date or even deal with women who will sleep with him because they want a realtionship. I have NO interest in a relationship or sex with him. However, he decided to come over and hang out with me for a change of pace and finally meet. I have reiiterrated that I just put clean sheets on the guest bed and absolutely just want to hang out and laugh for a change. I've stated that the pressure of sex is removed and it's just "buds".

All my friends are men and I consider myself one of the guys. Just because I establish this beforehand am I naive??? Just been married half of my life and don't know the ins/outs of internet meetings. Yes, we've exchanged pics the whole time and we're pretty good looking people.
some of the most closest relationships i have are from people i met online.

timing doesn't seem to be an issue because you've been talking to him for almost a decade.

i think that if you do decide to meet him in person to just be careful and watch out for yourself. only you know whether you can trust this person. if you feel an inkling of doubt, you might want to bring a friend and/or meet in public. if not, then there should be no reason to meet wherever.

either way, good luck and be careful.
