Just Ask Joyce: “We met online, but now he wants me to fly out and get married.”

Q: “I met a gentleman online. We’ve been communicating for several months. I have never shared with anyone like I have this man. I feel as though I know everything about him, and I have fallen head over heels in love with him. He wants me to fly to California to meet him and perhaps get married while there. I was hoping for a closer relationship, but that didn’t happen. I never factored in that I might be asked to move away from my family and give up my job here. I’m afraid if I say no, he will end the relationship. What am I to do?”

For Hire: One hunky wedding date, please!

Now that spring is in full bloom, your schedule suddenly starts getting busy with weddings, graduation parties, barbecues, high school reunions, your second cousin’s daughter’s eighth birthday party – you name it, when the weather is warm, people start doing things.

Of course, when you start doing things, you might need a date for an event or two. Single? No problem. We came across an interesting option you might not have considered: Renting a date. This trend is becoming more and more popular among professional women. Don’t freak out - we don’t mean Richard Gere in American Gigolo.
