I say meet as quickly as possible because it's possible to let your imagination and illusion play tricks on you and "imagine the way a person is" from the phone exchanges/messages. The reality won't always match the illusion/imagined person ... Did that with someone for 5 months ... We didn't meet in the end because I realised there were too many things that didn't add up ...Took me 5 months to work it out though, whereas if we'd met sooner it would have become clear straight away ...
I started communicating with somebody else after and in my opinion and also this last experience ... it you get on with someone and their is common ground, meet as soon as possible. Then what you build together is real rather than a trick of the imagination/illusion.
It worked for me ... with a positive outcome!!! We're getting together again day after tomorrow for the second time
Dknew: What do you think is a reasonable amount of time before you meet in person ? For me I don't think a time limit should be set but depends on how well the 2 ppl involved are getting on.
my answer you have given....

I do agree with that Flower.. our minds are clever ole things that can fill in the blanks when we are creating our 'Idea' of how someone is. Imagination is a very powerful thing.
I really think I should have met Mr McMaybe months ago...

maybe he's NOT god after all.
2 weeks left, Claire?? How long will you be staying in the U.S.? I hope everything goes so, so well (smashingly, as you might say!). You realize, of course, that we'll all be wanting to hear from you!

Depends on the "deepth" of the relationship and the distance one is traveling. ...on can chat with someone local and want to meet sooner then later AND one could chat and have a distance betwween them and choose later then sooner ..in hindsight,ALL are,and should only be seen as dates, there fore there are no real conceived notions and or expectations. BUT the bottom line is this ...I think the sing of when to meet comes from withen and you both have a idea when that time is ...JMO
