writes:I met a guy online who lives across the country and we have been talking for 3 years.He invited me to a family function, a wedding, in his state. He says he will pay for the plane and stay. We will be meeting for the first time and I am unsure if I should travel, meet for the first time and meet all of his family. We are trying to work through some issues, he lied and cheated this past year with other girls he met in his state, so I am unsure if this is a good idea. I do want to meet him though but without the added pressure of meeting his whole family though. Am I being rational or should I go?

Just don't do it.
You can't meet him for the first time at someone's wedding - thats a really personal day for the couple and you don't even know your date let alone them!
This is just not quite right, something is off. He can pay for a flight out there for you but has never flown himself out to you? Please keep.yourself safe.

 I agree with Honeypie wholeheartedly.
If you two haven't met in three years of corresponding and there's no date set for either of you to relocate to be together then what exactly is the point of all this?
Why should he choose a keyboard over time spent with a real life woman? Why should you do the same for him?
Meeting him for the first time at a big family function is a bit much, but then I think this whole 'relationship' is questionable.

 I wouldn't met up with a guy for the FIRST time in person at someone's wedding. Someone you don't even know.
And if he can afford to fly you down for the wedding how come he hasn't gone to see you in 3 years? or paid for you to fly down? Dating or talking to someone for 3 years and NEVER having met? That means you have NO idea who he is outside of his "online persona", except you DO know that he has cheated on you SEVERAL times...
I'm sorry, I think you wasting your time "dating" a guy for 3 years that you have never met. And that you have no plans of moving closer by anytime soon.
