I'm single and met a somebody while traveling that I'm interested in. We hung out several nights and I'd like to continue to develop the relationship, but the distance (12hr flight) obviously makes this rather difficult. I'd like to hear from others that might have been in this situation and made it work. Any insight would be helpful.

Be careful, they may be using you for a visa.

+1 Be very cautious.

Why is it that people always knee-jerk into visa plots?

As a foreigner on a non-immigrant visa, I take exception to that reaction. The world is not all hankering to live permanently in the USA, for goodness' sakes.

Watch 90 day fiancé. Obviously this can work but seems difficult.

OP here - Country is Argentina. I am aware of the possible interest for visa reasons and would definitely be on the lookout for that. However, it doesn't seem that different than avoiding a US citizen gold digger in DC that wants my money. In both cases, I would have to make an honest evaluation of a person's intentions and trust their character. I'm the one that engaged and pursued initially, so I would like to think things started off innocently. Marriage is way, way far off -- I'm mostly interested to hear how people dealt with the logistics and courtship stage.

Are you sure she is interested, or is this in your head?

OP Here - We hooked up, but I don't know if the interest goes beyond that.

Have you talked to her since you've been back?

Do you speak Spanish? Does she speak English? And I don’t mean basic skills but full fluency. I’ve spent significant time living in Argentina and have visited every country in Latin America through a combination of tourism and business travel. In no country did I get more male attention than Argentina. I also regularly had people ask me to write visa sponsorship letters for my country which is not the US.

A lot of travel. Decide now which airline alliance and hotel chain you want to invest in. The teleconferencing relationship is not real, you need sustained periods of time in person to really get to know them.

I’ve seen this work really well and really poorly. A couple of folks have been married for decades. One guy I know met an Argentine and she moved here with him. After a 5 year relationship, they married. She got her permanent residency and 6 months later she was out the door.

It’ll be expensive, but only you know if it’s worth it.

Also, do you know Argentine women well? Native Argentines? They have a reputation for fiery, and delightful, personalities. It’s well deserved. Make sure you know the fiery as well as the delightful.

Good luck!
