International Dating by Nobody: 9:52pm On Aug 01, 2013
Can it really work? Is it really real? Am I just being an Idiot? Does anyone have any REAL stories? I am American and I've found my Prince. He is Nigerian...

"internatinall dating" has its pros and cons, like anything else in life.

My friend had a four-year relationship with someone she met online. And I’ve also met inconsiderate guys who “disappeared”, smart guys, not-so-smart guys, great guys, fun guys, guys who liked me (but the feeling wasn’t mutual), as well as the other way around. All types.

Yes, it’s a numbers game. I believe that you have to put yourself out there and take a chance...

I hope I'm doing this right... We have been dating 2 years now n it only gets better. But I'm still so skeptical about the distance. We r trying to put together a trip right now but I'm nervous. Not nervous to meet him but to travel such a distance n jus being out of what I know.

Dont be!!!. Just take the risk dear and put in mind you are expecting two things, either for real or scam. By doing so,you wouldnt be shocked to your bones if you get to know it was a scam and if its real,you'll be as happy as my joystick smiley.

But that is a very long way to find out it's a scam. It started out as a scam sad. But then he finally told me what was up and after I got over the shock n realized it was him no matter what I thought he looked like. But I am still worried. But I don't have money so he's not after that lol. N he treats me so wonderful. I am truly happy to be his.

And for the record he is WAY better looking than the scam pic lol.

You see!!?. I feel the man is for real. I wouldnt blame him for the first scam cos when a nigeria joins a dating site with a good and real intention to find love is rather taken for a scammer. Its good he later confessed to you. I think you;re on the right path. Listen to your heart. Men from Nigeria are handsome...lol smiley

Re: International Dating by Lucasbalo(m): 5:06am On Aug 02, 2013
Be very careful. The problem is not only the guy. The main thing is how u both get to see each other. Do u have enough money to travel to Nigeria and enough to sustain u in a nice hotel for the duration of your stay. Don't rely on any financial help from ur so called friend. Anyway, be careful.

That's what makes the whole thing a great experience. When one decides to leave its comfort zone, to go in search of somthing that the person desires very much, even though the expedition or rather the transitoon doesn't turn out to be a blissful one in terms of the hurdles you might face and probably are not used to, it takes everything to a whole new level.

Personally, my take towards long distance relationship is for both parties to try as much as they can in breaking that barrier(which is distance), at least for once in about a period of time. I think there is need to get to meet as soon as possible in order to to make the fantasy a reality.

Finally, if you believe in your heart he is real, then what's the development of cold feet for?

Not cold feet. I really love him no doubts, but being a female in a completely strange place I need to be careful.

I'm not really sure what ur hinting at. If u must know I read as much as I can about Nigeria n international love stories n I stumbled across a story on this site yesterday. Remember I'm from the US it's not like this site is really well known here.

What does it imply that I registered yesterday?

Is he able to come to US FIRST?

Be honest with each other. If you're honest and loyal to him, he should be holding down his own end. Both of you should be on the same page with what the two of you want in the r-ship and where you want it to go. Definitely visit each other.

I've only spoken to his mom on phone. Dad is passed on. N I also think he should come here 1st. But when I mention that to him n all the reasons y it's better he jus goes back to me visiting there. I figured it's so he knows I'm serious enough, but my thought was he comes here 1st since he will end up here n then we travel to Nigeria together but he's not getting it n I don't know how to get through to him. Any ideas? Or is it a sign that something isn't right?
Married? Idk. I'm in NO rush for that. He doesn't push the issue but we do talk about it and eventually want to. I don't want to jus get married so he can come here. I think him coming here to check out his surroundings n see if he could be happy here n how we mesh together is most important. What if we marry n when he gets here he is miserable? He may feel like I tricked him into coming or something. He keeps saying he truly loves me n he's so comfortable w me n him not wanting to be w me couldn't happen.

But also the fact the he lied to me for months about who he really was still bothers me and I am having some trust issues, but on the other hand I love him like no other... Doomed or normal?

Hmmmm. You made it seem though you met with him and spent quality time with him to paint him as Prince Charming.

If you are bent on meeting him in Nigeria....you need to plan your visit thoroughly and have plently cash in handy...not on you but access to it.

Make sure you have your hotel in place because you don't know his living conditions and if things doesn't work out that you won't be stranded until it's time to fly home.

Register with the embassy in Nigeria and give them true contact information. Give them a picture of the guy you are meeting.

Let your family and friends know where you are going and give them true contact information.

Carry mace for protection and don't depend on others to protect you.

Talk to his family before traveling so they would be expecting you and you can gather more information about him.

Good luck and don't be foolish.

Different strokes for different folks. Some people can fall in love with a complete stranger online and some has to build the love through physical dating.

The fact that he lied first off is a red flag. Pay attention to the red flags.

The most common reasons why people want others to visit them are:

Lack of funds
Known hardship of getting a tourist visa
Potential scam/fraud
Can't pass the border/custom

If you have an issue with his lies...you need to handle that before flying 2, 000 miles to meet a stranger in a country where you know NO ONE personally.

It's your life.

He's been to UK recently. Idk if that tells u if he can pass border or not. N he has mentioned the visa thing but if he can travel to UK y wouldn't he be able to travel to the us... Hummm.

N ur right. N I am being smart. And even tho I haven't met him face to face I do feel close to him. I jus know there r things I don't know yet. If everything he says is true the idc if we haven't met he is a true prince. He is smart n got his self together n soft n gentle when it comes to me. N not in a sissy girlie way lol.

I guess I will have to see how it plays. Thank you so much for all the comments.
