This is my central concern, and your advice is good.
Monkeys ho!
And chimps pimp, what does that have to do with anything?
Right. :smack: Q has the tail.
Which our intrepid narrator is trying to get some of.
So, dude, like when are you going to Boston?
What are you waiting for? Call the airlines now.
Actually, I work for a travel agency.
Attracted to a gender that is not mine. At any rate…SAFE. God forbid you get involved with someone on the INTERNET!
Cervaise and Q-oo sittin’ in a tree

FWIW, Figaro’s advice was spot on. Now hie thee off to Boston, post-haste! You work for a travel agency – there is no excuse!
Been there, done that, and got the anti-depressant prescriptions to prove it!
Update:
All of my friends, and many people in this thread, are smarter than I am.
I spent the July 4th holiday with A & B. After they picked me up, in the car, I said, “So, I figured you ought to know… Q and I have spent many hours on the phone, and we’ve been talking about meeting somewhere and hooking up.”
A nodded blankly, and B said, “Yay!” She continued: “When we asked if people could take care of Q that night, we were hoping you’d be the one.”
So, it was a setup all along, and I’m an oblivious moron. 
Anyway, we’re probably going to meet in Chicago for Lollapalooza.
Heh - “butter the monkey.” I’m totally going to steal that. I also plan to call my husband my “hot buttered love monkey.” He’s used to me by now.
One point to consider - you’re looking at the consequences if it doesn’t work out, but have you looked at the consequences if it does? You probably know this, but living a continent apart is a real factor in a relationship.
(Did Raul Ibanez play at the game you went to? We thought it was hilarious when they did the chant for him - “RaOOOOOOL! RaOOOOOL IBANNyez!” to the tune of “Werewolves of London.”)
So are you guys gonna do it, or will you just beat around her bush?

I know I’m a little late to the party, but I just had to say Good for you!
What does she do? Will she be able to move here? I’m a complete optomist, so I assume everything will work out for the best.
Because, that’s the only way it can work out. There are no do-overs, so get it right the first time.
In my mind, the worst thing to happen in any endeavor is regret.
Oh, how my heart sank when I saw the cast of characters (“A & B - a married couple; Q - a smoking hot friend of theirs.”) I feared I was walking into one of those Penthouse-Forum-letters-disguised-as-a-legitimate- thread threads…
Shwew!
Good luck with Q!
Update: We’re meeting in New York this coming weekend. Woot!
Good luck! Nothing quite like that anticip
ation, is there? 
Sorry for the bump, but I just noticed this. Are youse still planning on going to Lollapalooza? If so, I definitely recommend seeing The Fratellis at 11:45 on Friday.
Will the lingerie models from their videos be there? If so, count me in!
(Real answer: No, Chicago isn’t going to work out. Hence New York this weekend.)
Dude, enjoy every minute. Yay for you.
Hey! I live in New York - wanna hang out - just you, me and Q? Come ON - we’ll have a GREAT time…see some sights - I know the best places to get dirty-water dogs, and we can see Cats or something! It’ll be fun! Heck, I can bring my kids - they’re 9 and 6, and we could go to the American Girl store! Wow - doesn’t that sound great?
Cervaise? Cervaise? Where’d you go - I wanna show you some brochures about the Empire State Building - Cervaise?
Have a great time!
