Allow me to stir this pot just a bit more Nice Guy! Ya know I speak off the top of my head and I pride myself with a strong instinct when it comes to feelings. As soon as I read your post I got the weirdest "feeling" ever from a seemingly minor situation. I'll go so far as to say that you don't even know that this woman is even that...a woman! People do all kinds of things over the web to get money, or to get here, or both . Yes, there are many out there who would "use" you to get here...but can you be so sure it's even a woman?

I hate that I got that feeling...and I'd hate to see you get taken...so heed the advice here and listen to those who care about you...DON'T LET "HER" COME HERE! This country is full of women hun...and if someone from another country wants to come here of her own volition and meet you...so be it. But, please oh please don't get yourself into this...all I can think of to say is, trap...don't get trapped into this!

Think of it this way...even if this is on the up-and-up...if "she" can get here on her own and seeks you out, you'll be able to check her out on YOUR terms. If you break down and send "her" money to get here...how do you know "she'll" ever come to meet up with you? "She" could have family here who told "her" to get in good with an American so you can join them in America. Hey! Stranger things have happened...but so has stuff like this! Please don't be a statistic!

*hugs...and a lick...to let you know we local chicks still love you!*
