How long have you been speaking with him? Do you know what type of visa he plans to get or how long he intends to stay in the US?
Will he be making arrangements for somewhere to stay in your local area or will he be staying with you? Even if it adds to the cost of the trip, I think having him stay somewhere other than your home (hotel, Airbnb, etc.) and meeting in a public place when he initially arrives would be better for a first visit, for safety reasons, especially if you live alone. I wish you the best, but just want you to be safe.
We met 5 years ago on a dating site, he was my boyfriend, we broke up, we stayed friends. He will stay in a hotel.
