If you got to drive 4 hours to meet her, you better either have time off from work, or she better think that is enough and that you don't owe her more. Sometimes you drive 4 hours, and she is not home or gave you her neighbors address accross the street so she can watch and laugh. Who knows though. Don't give her your address or what kind of car you drive. But yeah, I say meet people in person before you hear their life story online. Some people just want pin pals and use "dating" as a way to hook you so you will talk to them.
If I liked small towns, I'd move to a city, meet a woman, and then move back to the small town with her. That is what most people do. They raise kids in a small town or suburb, and then move back to city afterwards. College people usually live in cities. That is where the apartments, jobs, and people are. If you are 23 and in a ghost town your life will not be fun unless you are the only guy and there is a hottie there with you.
