He wants me to come to visit him for our first meeting.

Q: I met a guy online, and we've talked on the phone a few times. He lives quite a distance away, and he wants me to come visit him for our first meeting. He has offered to pay for my travel expenses. What do you think? -- Lisa in Clearwater

A: Good question. I think it's better for the man to go to the woman first, because he should be willing to "do the work" to meet you; not vice versa. Not only that, but you don't really know this guy, and it's a lot safer it he comes to your area. Although it's nice that he is willing to pay your way, I would ask him to come to your town instead. If he's a godly man who respects you he shouldn't have a problem with that. God bless you.
