Hi Mr,
If I'am honest, I'am in contact with one I met when I was over there, and it seems I'am developing some feelings.
I understand, and it is natural to develop feelings for another person. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
If you see red flags, then there is reason to proceed with caution, or better yet, let those feelings die on the vine.
Forget about the fact that you are talking about a transgender sex worker from another culture and country for a moment.
Just think about a long distance relationship with a female from your own country, and your own socio-economic demographic.
That would be a challenge on it's own, right?
Now add in all the other things you seem to be concerned about.
Sit down and think it through using your own logic and critical thinking skills. You don't need a bunch of tales of woe from punters on a website.
In my opinion, it will only stir your emotions and make the thought process more difficult.
Only you can assign value to the feelings you are having. Only you can assess the amount of risk you are willing to take.
Love and relationships are always tough. It is always a gamble when you get involved with another person, and a good analogy is like going to a casino.
The odds are stacked against you no matter what game you play.
What it sounds like you are grappling with is to play with a slot machine or go to the blackjack table.
Slot machines are the suckers bet, and while blackjack has better odds, chances are you'll still lose.
Then again, people do hit jackpots and go on tremendous streaks at the blackjack table.
Figure out what you are prepared to risk and you will have your answer.
