Would you take this risk?

ya i think i well why not if he seams like a good person,some times people from diffrent culturals are too open and quick of saying things just like you said he told her she was gorgeous,to the point that the other person from the other cultural thinks it's freeky to say that after 2 dayes,and some times the man has to show the woman that he's taking her sirius,afraid of loosing her,wish her luck and happiness.

Hi gemini, It will scare me..It's hard to trust any one for knowing only online and for that short span of time..He is the guy so why not making an effort to visit her instead to show how sincere he is for her..I hope the brother will be able to advise her about it! If I am in her situation, I will be asking the guy to come over to meet me and my family, if he refuse then, it means he has other interests!

That's scary and no I wouldn't do it. She doesn't know for fact that those pictures are even him! People can pretend to be anyone they want on the net and put up whatever pictures they want and say "this is me". Two days is WAY to soon and if he really "loves" her he should come to HER so her brother and family can meet him, not haul her off to another country where anything could happen to her. This isn't "impulsive", it's dangerous. There is a difference.

I'd rather he came here than to go to Egypt. Its a known fact that there are predators who convince people they are great and when you get involved its hell to pay. The guy is from Egypt, for Christ's sake, its too dangerous. England is at war with places like that ! Do your best to convince this girl not to go ! This sounds too much like some kind of enticement.

Heck no! That's a good way to get yourself killed or something. She thinks this is going to be some fairy tale or something, but that's not the reality, chances are this guy is a nut job. She shouldn't go!

I am afraid this woman is asking for trouble. She doesn't know this person. Apparently, she doesn't realize that there are stalkers out there on the Internet, just waiting for a vulnerable person. And it seems this man has found one. If she goes, she should take along her brother. That's how she would find out if this guy is a true suitor or not!

WEll sweety i can never see myself doing something like that, it is just too dangerous! I have made good friends online and I would love to meet them but to try and build a relationship with someone you have only talked to for a few days and to fly around the world to a foreign culture alone to meet them is not just impulsive but downright thoughtless! My cousin who is almost fifty left his wife of almost 30 years and their 5 kids to go to a woman he met online in Australia - didn't even have the nerve to tell his wife he was leaving but pretended he was off to work and sent her a letter! He was back within weeks with his tail between his legs saying she was nothing like he thought she was and wanted his wife to take him back and forgive him! Glad to say that she didn't and he is now looking for sympathy from a lot of people - none of whom are giving him any! xxx

Yikes...what is this woman NUTS? Obviously it's not just young teenager girls that are lured into relationships by some yahoo on the net and I would think a woman in her 30s would know better than to fall for this kind of crap. First of all, if this guy is legit, why can't HE come over and visit her instead of her going to him? Sounds to me like she's just plain desperate and easy prey to anyone who might say a few endearing things to her....NO WAY...your hubby really should talk with his friend and in turn the friend should really point out the possible dangers for the sister to go and meet this guy in his country

I may be old fashioned but I think it is the mans place to come visit the lady, and this is in my opinion a long way to go to meet someone who may not really be who they say they are,. but I can not say too much about getting involved after knowing someone only a short period of time, because my husband asked me to marry him the second day I knew him, and we have been married a long time now, but the first few years were really rough because my husband was not so nice when we first were married, but he is much nicer now, but he is also much older,.lol I would suggest she reconsider this, but if determined to go she should not go alone at all because that would be more foolish than meeting someone in your own country alone, does she even speak the same language as he does that is also something else to consider.

I'd be very concerned about her safety! If he's so anxious to meet her, let him travel, and make sure she's never alone with him until they know each other REALLY well. Impulses can lead to fun, but too often they lead to disaster.

Hi Gemini, If I was this woman I would be very wary and I feel the brother is justified in being worried over his sister. I have heard many stories good and bad re internet relationships. I suppose I must just be a risk avoider in life rather than a risk taker, she will be in a strange country, if he really says he loves her that much let him come here and they meet on her territory rather than his. If he says he annot afford to do that questioned answered really. Keep us posted as to whether she does go. Ellie :D

well if hes all that gorgeous let the hunk come to her, and get to know her. if he is above board genuine fine, if not she can say no thanks good bye and there will be no harm done. but were I her Iwould not go to Eygpt on a whim to meet some guy I had never seen before.If she loves him sight unseen fine but do not go to a foreigh country to meet somone you do not know exceptover the inter net. He could be anything,so meet him on her own terms with her brother there as a chaperone.

Not only NO but HELL NO! It's one thing to meet someone you've met online in the country in which you live. Still dangerous.. but no where NEAR as dangerous as to what she is thinking about doing! Strange country, strange person. I would NEVER consider doing something like this. If I did.. it would be the singe most stupid thing I would ever do. My life is too valuable to risk it on something like that. I seriously hope she reconsiders

hrrmmm would i take the risk.. would i be impuslive..;looks at mal and the sprite;.. i was.. and it was the best gamble i ever made

i definitely won't... there are too many bad people out there nowadays and i don't want to risk myself... i don't even know the person and the picture that he shows me might not be him... how if he is not the person in the picture and he is a bad person??? how if he had bad intentions towards me like killing me or kidnapping me??? the risk is just too high and i am not a risk-taker myself especially if it involves my life... if he really loves me, he should be the one who should be coming to me and not asking me to come to him... sounds to me that he is not a good person and your friend's sister shouldn't be going at all... take care and have a nice day...

the man of my life is from a foreign country around that part of the world, but I would not have gone over there to meet him, my man lives right in my own city. It is just too dangerous, if she goes which I don't think she should she should file her whereabouts with the american embassy, or Canadian or uk which ever is the embassy for her country.

no im not a risk taker!! as a woman if im in her shoes i will let him come first in my country before doing so in return at least i had to know the guy first and not whirlwind romance at that..she must think all about it first shes a matured woman and knows whats right and proper..

I can totally feel she is so excited about this and wants everything to be as it appears. She has to get hold of her feelings and be reasonable about this. I would never ever travel to meet a guy I met on the net going by a picture he sent. What if the picture isn't even him? Plus he says he is a great guy but is he a great guy. I would want to talk to family and friends by phone and possibly by video cam. This is so not wise for her to just go running off like this. She is obviously lonely and has maybe neglected her need to have a man around being so focused on her job. Now this meeting of this guy has all her emotions at full throttle. Someone needs to talk some sense into her and I hope they do. A friend of mine just lost money to a guy she met on line. She told me they were falling in love, she sent him money to pick something for for her that she wanted in his country so he could bring it to her when he came in a couple of weeks. The first time she told me about their meeting and their chats I knew for sure he wasn't on the up and up. She let me look at his profile and it was so clear the picture didn't belong to him. Sure enough he was a lier and a cheat! She found him under other dating services with different pictures and same name. He probably got lots of money from women on line. Really if she trusts this guy and he is on the up and up there is nothing to fear and nothing to rush into . So do all the researching and getting to know this person as much as possible first.

I sure would not be so impulsive and to me it does seem quite the risk. People can be whoever they wish to be on the internet and supply whatever photo they wish people to think that they look like. Maybe I am just skeptical, but it seems to me she is just asking for trouble if she goes. I could be wrong, but to me it is not worth the risk.

Loving is always taking a risk..That's where the cards lay sometimes..But I guess not that immediately,still we have to know the person first. 2 days is such a short time, and to think they've met only through website, not a good idea I believe. We don't want to judge here but I guess let's start from the very beginning. Love always takes time,and when you know it's for you, even if you don't ask for it, it will come to you...
