Hi Jeff, welcome to the forum, we are a friendly bunch here [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

I think most other members will agree with me when I say that it&#39;s better if you meet her first before deciding on how you want this to progress. You say that you are emailing each other on a regular basis - thats good, and keep it going, get to know each other really well. Remember to save those emails (and letters, cards) so that if you do decide to take things further, you have plenty of evidence when it comes to Visa time, but thats a long way off yet&#33;

Most members on this forum have "been there, done that" so feel free to ask anything you want.

thanks very much for the advice i know i will have to go and meet her before anything happens between us,i have allready started keeping all our email&#39;s sent between us and i hope to go to visit her by the end of this year and then perhaps i can get a visa for her to visit here.I know i am jumping the gun so to speak and i am keeping my feet firmly on the ground and will see how things develope in the future,could i also ask if there is anything else you would advise me to do when i go there thanks in advance everyone jeff
