As far as I know? I have no reason to doubt that she's not telling me the truth, so far anyway.

Also thanks for the kind wishes!

I guess my philosophy is that a person must pick his/her poison in life, so to speak. Am I naive in some ways? Perhaps. Although, I guess I would still rather be counted as naive than as bitter or jaded though, which might describe some others my age...it's all relative in a way

But what do you suggest I do differently, exactly? Do you think I shouldn't even try for anything, with her?

Your welcome to the kind wishes. However your response makes me very suspicious that she is not of legal age. Do not destroy your life and career without knowing this before you meet her. It is a risk not worth taking.

Now, hopefully I'm completely wrong. But you have got to get your brain in gear here....stop thinking that everything must be so, because some voice over a phone line says it is.
I guess I just figured that I could trust her, until she gives me a reason to think otherwise. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.

But what would you suggest I do differently? What else, can I do? <confused>

You raise a good point, which is certainly very valid. You're right. Never fear, I will verify that she is of legal age, before any actual visit occurs. If I find that's not the case, it's over and no visit will happen, naturally.

Yes, I agree! Also, if she is as sweet as you say she is, the suggestion of such a thing could immediately terminate the relationship. You're not the only one who would be put off with behavior such as this. I know that young ladies such as this are a rarity, but they DO exist. The easiest thing in the world for young men and young women to do in today's society, is to "go with the crowd", in order to appear normal. I applaud anyone who breaks from that norm, stays true to their heart and believes that there really is someone perfect out there for them. It's one of the hardest things to do...believe, with all of your heart, that your soul mate is out there.....and actually have the strength and patience to wait for that soul mate...the one who has been being prepared for you, until the time is exactly right for you to meet.

So Knight, why don't you get on a plane at your earliest, fly out to the West Coast, stay in a room a mile off the ground, a brigade of ground level armed security forces to secure your safety, bring only credit cards and travelers checks, meet her across the street in a well lit restaurant, the location of which you don't disclose until no more than five minutes beforehand.. Ok, half kidding. The only argument I heard so far that would give me pause is the legal age thing; so tricky though. I guess you have to request a photo ID! I'd just say you go to her. The other things that people are cautioning you on could happen regardless of how you met. Just be smart, don't give her your security pin number until you know her a lot better.

It is fairly easy to look people up on Intelius--for free they will usually give an age, city and the names of other possible relatives. Also it is hard for people with a Facebook account they use regularly to hide very much--does she have one?

Knight, have you Googled her?

And I am still note sure what you meant by a caring heart. How does this translate into real, living, human behavior? Does she just tell you she loves you non stop? Or Does she rescue abused animals and viisit senior citizens? Is that what you mean?

I am sure there is much more to her than being sweet. Temperament is a small part of who we are as humans. What is her stance on politics, the environment, gun control? Does she get along with her family? Is she satisfied with her direction in life? What sorts of things does she complain about?

See what I am trying to say, without coming right out and saying it?

For one, you're going to have to figure out which one of you will move.

Ultimately, that should be your biggest concern.

After you meet, if it is still everything you've hoped for, the distance is going to become an enormous obstacle for the both of you. You will both be that much more in love and entangled with one another, and the reality of it all is going to be a huge blow. It will come down to one of you relocating or ending the relationship.


You have to keep it real.

Good Luck!
