I'm new to the online dating /search chat/ rejection/whatever you want to call this stuff. Let's just say that I begin e-mailing back and forth with someone and she seems to be a reasonable fit for at least a luncch or dinner date. What is the appropriate lenth of time before more concrete type of communication could begin? Phone calls. Maybe this instant message stuff has a place. I don't know how it works. I understand that women need to play things very safe and the last thing I would want to do is put off a potential nice girl with an inappropriate inquiry. I hope this is a question for this venue. I understand this one is screaming for wise cracks but I'm serious.
