I like to exchange a few emails with someone to see if there is anything in common. When I think I have found someone then I like to chat on the phone a few times. If THAT goes well I want to meet. I have found that many people are hesitant, and I understand that. But it is after all a DATING site, not a chat room. I really don't want to email\phone forever if it won't go anywhere, and we wont know that if we never meet. I say that from experiance. Whatever chemical reaction that takes place between two people that forms an "attraction" can't be done over the phone. At least for me. Maybe I'm shallow. *oh well*

So my tendency is to bring it up sooner rather than later. How soon do YOU want to meet?

I'm new at this, but once I've found that I enjoy talking with the person via email and on the phone, I want to meet them. I also need to know if there is any chemistry there. Meeting someone in person is totally different than just talking to them online.

It varies, depending on the person. I have had times in which I wrote back and forth for 6 months and then set up a meet. There are other times where I only waited 2 weeks to meet.

Now, mind you, I met the other person with no real expectations, just wanted to get a feel of who I was writing to.

Now, with BamaBeeCee, we seem to have hit it right off, but again, when I suggested to meet, I had no expectations. Well, it looks like God had other plans for uslove yay

Just go with your feeling. There is nothing shallow on wanting to meet someone, just to get a feel for the person. Just remember to make the meeting in a public/neutral place.

Ken and I have decided to wait to meet until my birthday, the first week of April, which will make it two months since we started talking. I think that is a good amount of time to wait...now if we could meet sooner I would be all for it! However, this gives us enough time to really truly get to know each other mentally and emotionally without any physical attractions getting in the way to cloud our judgement. We have seriously clicked emotionally and mentally....now for the physical, lol! angel+devil

I agree with the Cellist.

If I find someone I’m interested I like to move to phone right away, and if there’s still interest then why not meet as soon as possible?

Not meant to sound like I’m in a rush. Meeting as soon as possible might actually be a while anyway, but if the distance is close why not right away?

I also agree with the Cellist, I won’t really know anything until the actual in-person meeting anyway, so if there’s interest at both ends then what’s the point in putting it off?

Other than large distance or travel restrictions of course.

When I'm dating(currently on a break), I like to meet as soon as we are both comfortable. Locally this is generally less than 2 weeks, and consists of a few emails, maybe some time on IM's and several hours on the phone.


I've never attempted a long distance relationship.

I waited 4 months before i met nuala in person, but thats because i was away in Iraq, but we talked on msn during that time and when i got back to the uk we talked on the phone for 3 weeks, then we met on december 27th 2006 and have went from strength to strength since.
Long distance does suck but it can work, the way i see it i travelled over 2000 miles to get my girl, and if i knew what i was getting I would have walked on my hands and knees to get to her.hug
