Hi, I am a single mum to 2 DS’. I met a man a year ago through a mutual hobby online. He is single and a year younger than me. We chatted maybe once or twice a week, this then led to me asking if he wanted to be friends outside of the hobby. We talked more which then led to swapping pictures, phonecalls every other day and the ocassional skype video call. We message every day and have done for many months.
I have done as many background checks as I can (google, social media etc) and everything he says seems to match up. He has been very open about his family, friends and work. He seems like a lovely man, and we just seem to click. He is kind and supportive, has taken time to understand more about me and where I live and just seems like an all round great guy. I understand that it is easy to portray the perfect person online and so some of my guards are still up even after this time just incase.
It is clear that we really like each other and we would like to meet. But there is a slight problem. I am in the UK and he is in the US. Am I being stupid and naive to think something can come from this? Especially as there are children involved? What on earth do I do about meeting? He is willing to come to England, or whichever place I feel most comfortable with.
Could there be a future in this? I really like him.
