I'm in a bit of a sticky situation. I beleive I've found my perfect match when it comes to finding a girlfriend. But here's the problem. She lives in a different state which makes matters worse. We both have a lot of the same interests, and both want to meet each other. The thing is I've only known her for a little while, but just started talking a lot recently. There are a few obstacles I will have to get through if I should choose to meet this girl. First one is that my parent will not be fond of the idea at all, I'm not sure of how her parents will feel about her meeting someone from a different area, and I don't have any money to travel to where or near a place she lives at which can make matters worse. I know that it is not a good place to meet at a person's house and in this case, I would want us both to travel 1/2 way in between places to where we live. I also know the dangers too of meeting someone over the internet. What advice would you give about being in these situations? I really want to meet her and she wants to meet me too.

If you want to meet her, you are going to have to work it out with your parents because its unlikely that you will be able to travel without their consent. If you inform them of when and where you would be meeting her and give them a lot of info and explain how you feel about this girl, they are more likely to agree with it. As for the actual meeting, you're right it isn't a good idea to meet at a person's house. I got lucky when I chose to meet my boyfriend because I did meet him by myself, however we've been together ten months now. (He only lives forty five minutes away.) Meeting half way would make the traveling part easier on the both of you, so try to find a public place you could meet. A great place to meet up would be an amusement park that's in between the two of you, or some other large public place like a mall or bowling alley. If you can't find a public place that's halfway and you decide to go all the way to her house, make sure you take a friend or parent. You may not like the idea of someone tagging along, but they only have to stay long enough to make sure everything is okay. Try to do a few small jobs to save up some money, or see if there is someone who would be willing to drive you in exchange for something. In a situation like this it's difficult but if you both really want to meet each other it will work out. I hope this helped, let me know if you have any other questions or concerns [ aidenisfire's advice column | Ask aidenisfire A Question ]
