Would you travel to another country to meet someone you met online?

I was wondering this because a lot of people send me PMs asking me to travel to USA to meet me personally, but I don't really want, I find it dangerous and dirty, although on the other hand it's very exciting and tempting.

Also I told them to come to my country but they don't want, so I think they won't have the chance to meet me and it's a pity... maybe I should travel...

So, What are your thoughts on this? Would you travel to a foreign country to meet someone? Would you do it for LOVE? How far would go for that "special" person?

Probably not, but if I had money to spare, then maybe. Some people are the kind of people you just gotta meet.

No but I would still consider if it's only travel between city.

I wouldn't mind though I doubt I'd do it. Meeting up with someone you met over the net usually isn't a good idea, though there are some luckies that found it a good decision.
Ah, bottom line: most likely "No."

I probably wouldn't. I don't want to impose on them, and I'm not trusting enough of people online to do to depend on an online person's money.
Plus I want to be rich in order to do this. So much money that I could just blow it away.

It's not that uncommon, i know a few people who've had ppl want to meet them after only knowing them for less than 2 months. Always get a good laugh when i hear stuff like this lol.

Indeed I did it, when MAL was down I stalked many MAL users on Facebook.

Would I travel to another country just to meet someone? Probably not. However, if that someone lived somewhere that would be interesting to visit anyways, then I'd consider it.

Yes, of course I would and I have already done it. This past summer, I went to visit my German/Russian friend and his family. And I had only previously talked to him online. I wasn't nervous at all, it just felt like meeting any other of my friends, and when I arrived, we immediately had stuff to talk about. Spending the rest of the evening drinking vodka and just having a good time. I wouldn't want to be without this experience.

So yes, I would definitely consider meeting people I met online. The only place I haven't really went to visit someone I met online is the USA, because it's too far away.

Honestly I would if I had such a deep friendship with said person. I mean it's not for some people but could be for others. You'll never know once you take that tempting chance on whether they are reallly who they say they are. Would I do it for love? Hmm depends on our connection and friendship. Again depends.

In cases of just casual friendship, probably not. Maybe if there was a convention in the area, and we could meet up. Financial situation would vary too.

I would, however, travel if it was for love, going to the ends of the earth. If someone is really that special person, I'm going to reach them, everything else is secondary.

Only in extreme cases and only if I had time and money to spare. The idea of meeting people IRL that have been my friends in Skype convos and similar for several years doesn't feel unappealing though, it's more of a matter of how and when rather than if.

I've had two that really wanted to visit me and I wasn't particularly excited, but it's their money not mine. I wouldn't spend money for that. Maybe if they lived in the same country and I had poof they were around my age.

But then again... money.
