One2note: It's that fine line where, what is a reasonable time , between mailing & giving your personal details.
Depends on whether they are bloggers and you've been interacting with them on the blogs and threads? In which case I think it's reasonable to Skype straight away.
If not...maybe a month of regular correspondence ? Then Maybe first the voice...then the cam?
One2note: Exactly mimi , which is why you've found someone & others live in a fantasy world !
It can be intimidating at first....especially when you look nothing like in your pics!!
I photoshopped and filtered my pics.
When I first Skype with Art, I always take the trouble to look my best. A dash of lipstick and made sure my hair looked at least washed
After more than two years of Skypeing with Art, I now never bother if my cheeks are rosy or my eyebrows are plucked! Heck! Even my local vegetable seller in the market looks better than MiMi most times!

I think a month is waaaay to long ! Why invest so much time mailing back & forth , only to see someone unrecognisable from the image they portrayed?

Looks are the first thing people notice & you only get one chance to make a first impression! The fact that you got him under your spell within a couple of Skype calls , says a lot about your charming character!!

daniela777: Someone who wants to Skype or whatever after one email and are keen to go off site straightaway...I call that suspicious.
After exchanging a number of emails I also find it suspicious???
Many will give you excuses why they can't...computer or lack of internet connection etc..but.. The ones who just don't want for some other reasons...I can't be bothered with.
Yes,O'm a bit selective about who i skype ot viber with, i like to get to know them a bit and let the subject surface naturally, it's better that you both feel comfortable with the hidden promise of revealing more than you planned .
Though I must admit I'm curious what some people look like on camera.
Also there can be much more conversation with us political s.
