Hello everyone!

I'll try to make it short because it is quite complicated.

So I met a guy online and we were having a great time. He kept telling me how much he wants to meet me and spend as much time together as possible. He is from US, I am from Europe so it is not making it any easier. He was supposed to come back so we thought we were going to have a few months together. He even started talking about a possible future together and me moving to the states. Then suddenly he vanished, for almost 2 months I had no words about him. A few days ago I texted him, but I didn't really expected an answer but he did text me back so at least I had to opportunity to ask why did he disappear like that. He said he found out he is not coming back for quite a while and it wasn't fair promising me all those things and he didn't know what to say. He apologized for that and he said he still wants to be with me and he told me he didn't really get why am I still so nice to him because he doesn't deserve it after how he treated me.

Anyway long story short. I'm having a trip with my family in the US to visit some relatives and we agreed that I am going to fly to the city he is deployed now and we gonna spend a weekend together.

With having the tickets in my hand it all become real and honestly I am a little anxious about it.

I like him very much and against the odds I would be really happy if we could figure things out. So if you have any suggestions or advice I'm happy to hear them.

Thanks ?

Three red flags.

One, online dating.

Two, he disappeared and his reason sounds lame as shit. There was someone else. Two months is too long. Especially if he's armed forces. Those guys sleep around more than prostitutes.

Three, he's making you do the travelling. I'm sure where he's stationed is a likely reason why, but it's never a really good thing when the dude makes the chick do all the work/moving for him.

Where is he stationed?

I just read the other tidbits you posted.

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy was catfishing you, tbh. You need to slow your roll.

If you want to meet the dude, go for it. It could either go well or go wrong, which the latter would help you determine if this is worth your time or not. If it goes well, then hooray, work from there.

But it's concerning that you're letting some flaky online presence woo you over so much. Leo women are stupidly desperate to find a guy and they'll ignore all the obvious signs until they get kicked in the ass.

Seriously? People really put up with this type of behavior from someone?

People need to start having standards for themselves that don't amount to "I'll take whatever I can get".
I see your point and you are right. It's just he seemed honest when he apologized for his behavior. Before all this it all was amazing so I decided to give him a second chance.

We agreed if we wanted to date someone else we would let the other one know.

You're being naive and stupid about it. Getting a dude isn't that serious where you have to compromise your standards and overall safety.

You know it's fucked because you didn't even bother answering any of the questions asked of you and instead decided you needed to explain your dumb behavior away.
