Virtual dates are invaluable, especially when you are in an online dating long distance situation.
Be careful that you don’t only look at virtual dates as a means to just keep the connection alive.
Having that attitude only perpetuates a dry and uncreative approach to your virtual dates, making them a boring exercise where you are both merely going through the motions.
You have never met this man in real life and it makes sense that you would be worried about the prospect of inviting him over to your place the very first time that you meet him.
But you are getting way ahead of yourself.
You are already making an assumption that a man that drives for two hours to meet you in your town is expecting you to invite him over to your place at the end of the date.
Your new match may be going out of state for about a week but you shouldn’t be putting so much weight on how things are going to go with this new match this soon.
A new match is just that, a new match.
Regardless of how well the both of you have struck it off on the online dating site, there are no guarantees that your correspondence will lead to a blissful romantic relationship.
There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to who travels to who first in an online dating long distance situation.
However, as a woman who is looking for a serious relationship, it is often to your benefit to have the man travel to you first rather than the other way around.
This kind of gesture and effort made by the man that you have now been corresponding with for a while often indicates just how serious he is about you.
