Romance across the ocean?

No Place Like Home Romance across the ocean?
There’s no place like HOME!
 
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
My parents took me and one of my girlfriends to Europe for my college graduation.    I met a guy from Switzerland who was also staying at our hotel.     
He’s been emailing me once to twice a day and calling me every other day. He says he knew from the moment we met that he fell in love. 
He would like for me to meet him in London during the holidays and then go to Switzerland with him from there.    He’s sort of sweeping me off my feet.
I know I’m young and need to be open to adventure, but I also feel a little scared because I really don’t know him.  Am I just being paranoid? 
At first glance my Dad didn’t like him, but I figured he was just being an overprotective father. 
In New England, and don’t know which way to go?
 
Dear Which Way To Go:
No you’re not “just being paranoid”.   You were on vacation, met a guy that you know nothing about…and finding out oceans away from home is looking for trouble and possibly danger. 
He’s asked you to take all the risks.  Take that as a big clue. 
There is a little voice inside us that does not error.   Your voice is telling you which way to go:   Stay safely in New England.  You’re father knew best. 
Mrs. Figgins
