What you should do is make sure you "date" with friends along with you and only in a public place. If I had a 14 year old daughter and a 26 yo guy was going to the expense of flying to meet her, I would want to get to know him, what is he about, is he from a small town, what is it you have that he would pay an airline ticket to meet you? Is this the first time he has done this? at 26 what other relationships has he had? What does he expect to have in common with someone who is 14? Unless you both share the same interest like some science field of study and have research work to talk about? If he says something like come over to his hotel room, alone? (assuming he is travelling and staying at a hotel) then only one thing seems to be obvious here. Anyone 26 would have had time to create a track record of being a gentleman and would be approved of by his elders and people in his community. Find out who those people are and chat with them. Again, as a parent the story is alarming! stay in public!
