Sadly I never travel...but I'm sure many travel to Myrtle Beach

It does happen on a rare occasion.
While I agree that this is a very good idea, I wonder to what extent women would be willing to risk such a meeting with a strange man. (And believe me, many of us are pretty strange, although mostly not dangerous).
Most of these meeting threads are overwhelming dominated by men. (I.e., the married and looking by area code, etc.). There are a whole bunch of reasons for that.
I know its unfair to ask you as a representative of all women on lit, but I'll ask you anyway, and if other women reading this thread wish to, feel free to respond.
Would you really be willing to meet a man who was visiting your area alone, on business?
What would it take for you to feel comfortable with the idea?

Wow, what a question. I am not against the idea of meeting someone from online, I have done it before with positive results. There are a lot of creeps, jerks, etc out there...hope that does not offend anyone. And you really don't know someone until you meet them...public place is a great idea. So, for me...if after lots of conversation and such...yes I would consider meeting for lunch/a drink...maybe more/maybe not. I can't speak for other ladies though...just my thoughts....

Bermuda next week...
I'll chime in, if that's OK. (I'm female, I swear)
I've been fortunate enough to meet some gentlemen from Lit. One of the first few experiences I had was with a man who was visiting Atlanta on business. I believe he posted something similar -- that he would be traveling to the area and wanted restaurant recommendations, I think. Started innocently enough, and we chatted for a bit leading up to his visit. I agreed to meet him for drinks/appetizers near his hotel, and we had a great time talking. He was fun, attractive and I just got a good vibe from him. I went back to his hotel with him, and we had more fun, I'll leave it at that. Great experience, certainly no complaints. I'd see him again if he ever passed through town!
I've also met several local men and followed the same general process. Talk a good bit before hand, get a good feel for who they are, and usually meet publicly first. That all depends on how much contact I've had with them and how well I know them. I've also had a first time meeting actually occur at a hotel. But I knew them really well at that point.
I've been extremely fortunate in that I haven't had what I would describe as any bad experiences. But I'd also like to think I'm a decent judge of character. I think most women have pretty good instincts. You have to trust those instincts.
I would give the same advice to a man considering meeting a woman. Get to know her well, maybe have that first meeting over coffee, drinks, dinner, etc. Do whatever you have to in order to feel comfortable.
I am well aware there are some psychos out there, male and female. But I think a fairly good number of people on Lit are pretty harmless. Horny, absolutely, but harmless.
Hi All
Not traveling this week, again. Pretty odd that, short week in the US.
Next week, I'm in the Philly and Baltimore area. LUCKILY, this is one place where I have a very friendly and adventurous FWB, so Tuesday will hopefully be a sleepless night. I love it when the schedules align!!!
Happy trails!
