Im 19, but told to be pretty mature for my age. I usually prefer older guys. My mom recommended me to start going on dating sites. Ive been talking to a guy thats 25 for about 7 months now and we are planning on meeting up. He lives in the south though and I live north. How should I go about meeting him? He is going to travel here to meet me. I dont want to invite him to my house. Mainly because I dont want him to meet all my family and see my house on the first meeting. It would be pretty personal and embarrassing. Though I have met a guy online and invited him to my house, mainly because thats what I was recommended to do since I was 17 at the time. I read online that we should meet in a public place and make sure you let someone know where your going to be. Or bring along a friend. Im not sure If Im gonna be able to bring a friend along. But that would be my first plan. Anyone have any recommendations? (someone who has done it before would be great)
