hello there!
I am wondering, I can surely imagine people are not willing to meet someone from overseas. However, is it just me or are there only a few who are willing to book a cheap ticket on a domestic flight to meet someone? I would definetely do so, only wondering whether Dommes are open to that. Also, would you say a sub or slave should travel at first?

sandra,
There's an old saying, "a bird and a fish can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?" Accepting communication from persons outside of your locale requires an honest assessment of ones ability to travel, the financial and time ramifications if applicable, and whether you expect the individual to relocate if a serious connection ensues, or have an ability to do so yourself. These aren't things I believe one should figure out down the road, but logistically address early on instead. The idea of something may be very appealing, but its reality could be ridiculous at best if impediments exist that prohibit these things from manifesting.
I'm of the belief that connections must be solidified face to face. I respect that emotions and the mind can be thoroughly engaged, but the physical cannot be discounted. I'm willing to invest time and resources in doing such, but it isn't something I do haphazardly. Assumptions should never be made regarding expenses, accommodations, or the frequency of meetings. Financial hardship, scheduling concerns, and outside commitments should be taken into account and discussed in some measure before proceeding. Doing such allows both parties to make informed decisions about the feasibility of furtherance.
