how long should you talk on line before going to meet someone?

I think it depends.

If you talk too long,
the person loses interest.

If you agree to meet
someone too soon,
you don't know them
well enough.

I guess it just
depends on the person.

I feel the sooner you meet the sooner you know if it is worth your time.

If they are across the street,,,,5 minutes,,,lol,,,lol

If they are across town,,,15 minutes,,,lol

i think each encounter has different circumstances...so it depends on the individuals involved.

Terry...

What happens if he is almost 1400 miles away??

How long should you talk on the telephone before meeting someone?

I think it just depends on you. I don't think there really is a time line, its whenever you are comfortable. I started talking to someone in Feb and I met them in April.
We spent many hours on the phone every day, so I got to know him very well. When we met it was like meeting someone that I knew for a very long time. There wasn't a moment that I felt uncomfortable at all.
So I think you need just to figure out how long it should be for you. Use your best judgement on how to go about meeting. If it should be in a public place or if there are going to be people around. Just be safe!!
Good luck

Puffins...my friend was about 1500 miles away. He flew here, thank God for airplanes!!

unsure...

Hi honey Long time NO see. I know all about planes...BUT, it is kind of hard to get together for dinner on a Friday night. I'm sure you know what I mean. I don't think he will feel REAL to me, until we do meet one another. You know what I mean?

TheCaptain and I were talking on here regularly for about two months before we met in person. But that was because he was coming to the East coast for a conference and I flew to Baltimore to be with him. (He's from Idaho and I live in NY).


We just figured that was the right time to meet because of the coincidence , but it is up to the idividuals when it seems right.

Good luck to you Bluegirl!

By the way......he blew off the conference after about three hours and didn't go back for day two....

If I ever decide to meet someone in person, I think I will treat it the same as a blind date.

But, it will be in a public place with lots of people.

Puffins,
I do understand all about that!! Trust me, its hard...once you meet and then they have to leave.
I honestly don't know if its worth it!!! Would I ever do long distance again? I don't think I would!! Esp if they were 1500 miles away again...nope I don't think its for me!!
But I wish you luck

Thanks unsure, but if we don't meet how will I ever know?? I will take my time. Has anyone out there met and are now in 'love'? or 'like'? I'm ready to give up ever finding a good man to share my life with.

Blue...

You only have a few posts....
How do you expect people to "see" you? Post more, let everyone see you....it does take some time to be here, believe me

Bluegirl...read my post...that is TheCaptain and I in the pic and yes...over 3000 miles apart and very much in love......

Blue, don't give up. The person you are looking for is out there somewhere. You just have to keep looking.
