I have often thought that, what if you met someone who had lived some distance from you and wanted to meet you.Could be just a meet or maybe even someone you've talked to on the phone and emails.
and i KNOW you going to ask how far, 1000 miles or more.
Would you offer or what if they asked? either way. Hummm how does that work?

truly depends on the RELATIONSHIP i think irish..
I have and will let folks stay that I have met on the net in fact INSISTED they do so and have had some even entrust thier kids to my care while they were out in cali ... it all depends on the relationship you have with that person... then ther are others i have even met in person from the net that would NEVER ever even get my cell phone number..

I have and will continue to . . . I have an unoccupied 2 bedroom basement apartment in my house which gives a visitor all the privacy and propriety they could ever need . . .perhaps even more than a motel room.

I agree it depends on the person. If you feel comfortable with them it should be no problem, but some ground rules should be established also.

I'm with Becky and Don....I have and will continue to extend hospitality and open doors to my friends. It depends on the situation......but I have met some outstanding people on the internet and we are friends .... good people that I envite in to my life and my home. Heck one such person, I met by mis-directed email about 10 yrs ago, and he thought I wrote funny emails, but should know they weren't going to the right person......well, I have attended his wedding and I baby-sit his kids and am heading up to their home for Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend.....the internet is just another avenue of meeting people........just people you wouldn't run across in your everyday life!

I have, but I wouldn't do it with just anyone. Safety is always a factor, and you need to follow your instincts.
I've had a gentleman travel 10 hours to meet me and I let him stay here. I had talked to him online for over a year though, and felt sure that I knew him before I would even agree to meeting.
Edited to add: I don't like someone instantly assuming that if they come here they may stay at my house. That sends up a big red flag for me.

No Spiking the Drinks.

Ive had a few ladies that traveled far to meet and I always gave them the option to stay at a nearby motel three miles away at my expense or I give them my bedroom with its own bathroom.They all chose to stay here and none regretted that choice because we still keep in contact occasionally just as friends.

I wouldn`t for the simple fact that i have kids.I have stayed at a guy`s home before after traveling 800 some miles.We were talking on the phone and online for 4 month by then and it went really well.The relationship lasted for over 3 years.

I've never let anyone stay with me. I have gone and stayed in a guy's home if we've gotten to know each other very well on the phone and have talked for quite some time (months) before meeting and I was told I could sleep in the spare bedroom. I won't do it again. I have yet to meet a man who actually wanted to let me sleep in the other bedroom once I'm there. I would still travel to meet someone since I like visiting different places anyway, but I will reserve a motel room before going and will stay there so that I can control the situation a little easier that way. I want to move at my own pace which seems to be slower than a man's. If there's attraction, I will eventually want sex as much as any man does, but my mind really needs to be ready too, not just my body.

Works both ways.....have allowed meeting friends to stay, and stayed with friends while meeting. Friends are not restricted to gender. The last friend to stay overnight was female.......and NO !!! I am not bi-.......its just plain hospitality.
There are many people on limited income, and if they would have to stay in hotels, may not get to make a trip to whereever.
Maybe I am just plain ignorant, but so far never been disappointed in my guests.

I love spending a weekend with someone just to get to know them so that's one thing that's more likely to happen if either is traveling a long way just to meet. I really don't like short, no-time commitment dates where you meet for lunch to glance at each other and then go your separate ways. I don't know much more about that person than I did before meeting. If I've gotten to know someone fairly well on the phone, I usually want to know him better. If we have time to go a few places and see a few things together, then it's always worth the time and trip. I love to travel and see new things and I like just hanging out with a person who's company I enjoy. If there's "chemistry" too, then that's an added bonus.

I'll always be thankful for the online friends I stayed with when I was doing my cross-country trips -- what a great way to get to know someone better, in person (and yes, I slept alone ~grin~)
...I've had people stay at my house, too. Unfortunately, one didn't leave for 6 months

My following opinion only refers to men I might be romantically interested in, not referring to just friends.
I feel that if a man is going to take the time, effort, and money to travel more then 500 miles to see me, it's silly to throw the 3rd date rule at him. It's not like he can fly back and forth every other week-end to court me. I would have already taken the time to get to know him by phone, etc. and I'm not going to let a man travel all that way that I don't already know I want to sleep with him. At the same time, I understand that there is the "chemistry" factor that you don't know is going to be there until you finally meet in person.
It may not sound fair but this doesn't apply to local men. If he lives within a 100 miles, then we have the time and accessibility to date often and not take it to the physcial level til it feels right.
It's just different when you're thousands of miles away. Just MHO.
