I told her the same!!!!
I think she is crazy, very crazy because they met by internet and they fall in love.
She will go to Turkey for him and we told him to stay at hotel. He says that if we want, we could do it but his family prefers that we stay at his home.
BUT I DONT WANT! I think it is dangerious and crazy. I am in this site for make turkish friends and for know turkish culture and know what is good or not.

If it's not a serious, dedicated relationship (if they haven't met before) then I think it's a good idea to listen to vineyards' advice, like you also say yourself.
The hotel I was referring to earlier is in Taksim in Istanbul, the Marmara I think. There are of course tons of hotels in Istanbul, Taksim being very central (in my opinion anyway) but also more expensive. You can look through guides to see in which city part (eh, barrio) you want to stay. I advice you not to stay in Beyoğlu because even though Istanbul is a relatively safe city, Beyoğlu can be dangerous when you're two young, foreign women staying with yourself.

I'd suggest you girls to stay at a hotel and see from there. Your friend can still meet her love, but by staying in a hotel there are no commitments. You can still go out and meet, but you have to be realistic. In case of a "worst case scenario" you'll both be happy to have a place of your own.
Istanbul is a huge city, but don't let it intimidate you, don't get all paranoid. Just use your common sense and you'll be fine.
Have a great trip

Quoting vineyards: Is she sure she knows him well. How well can she know him without ever seeing? There are all sorts of people in any society. I would recommend not to stay with his family. Book your own hotel rooms without asking his assistance. Even if she wants to stay with them, I suggest that you should stay in a hotel.
We became friends with a German girl after chatting for a couple of years and she stayed in a hotel room when she came here to visit me (and to see the city asw well). I formally invited her and she declined. I had the best of the intentions but I did not insist at all. It has nothing to do with hospitability etc. I would grow even more suspicious if he insists beyond reason or tries to arrange everything on behalf of you.
dulce,i think u should take vineyards advice..it is beautiful country,i am in love with istanbul,and people are really great,but u never know..it is like everywhere,good and bad things can always happened..take care and i am sure that u will have nice trip.Istanbul will do that!
Better be careful than sorry.

Hmmmm...He probably won't be too happy about this but probably good advice.

Quoting dulcemexicana: You all can make questions of my country too |
How are Zapatistas doing? Are they OK? How do they live day-to-day? How do they think? How do they feel? How do they eat and drink? How do they struggle? How do they fall in love with one another? How do they love one other? How do they look after one another? What would look like to fall in love with a Zapatistian girl? What would feel to take her by hand? To carry the same weapon with her? To fight with her together?

I should really bite my tongue here. But I'm not going to. There are several at this site that would be very offended if the same questions were asked about the "young turks" or similar. Why do we need this rudeness? She is a young girl and was only being polite. Why ridicule her?

I do assure you that you read my post wrongly and thus got me wrong. I believe that you will get me more properly if you read it once again.
