Anonymous 123 agony auntYes it would be dangerous to consider a relationship with a complete stranger who you've met online; living with him is a BIG no. No matter how many facebook profiles you've scanned, it still doesnt say anything about him. And I agree with Cerberus...instead of going to meet him, ask him to come to Ireland. Its a much safer option.

He could be anyone. nothing you see online is 100% sure to be real.

Yes it is dangerous, get him to come over to your comfort zone. You're the woman in this situation, you can meet him but only in your territory, where you have your friends and family to keep an eye on you.

Do not go over to him.

Plus it's far easier for an American to come to Ireland than the other way around.

Tell him to come here. Only then should you consider going over to him. He'll understand because it's the safest and smartest way of doing things.

If you can, meet him offline a few times before you go to stay overnight at his place. It doesn't mean you don't trust him - and I'm sure his intentions towards you are perfectly honest - but it's infinitely better to be safe than sorry! And call me old-fashioned but I think in a situation like this the guy should visit the girl first; since you'd be be in YOUR environment, you're sure to feel safer, more in control of the situation and consequently more relaxed. I'm speaking from experience here :) Don't forget to follow your gut instinct, use your common sense, and above all take care. Good luck!

He should make the trip down to meet you and your family and friends before you move cross country to live with him. He can make that small sacrifice and stay in a hotel since you are making such a big sacrifice to leave your whole life behind to be with him. If he cannot do that for you than he's probably unsafe or very selfish.
