If you're really interested, dive in and meet them.

If unsure, tread water for a few months.

Depends on how well you think you've gotten to know them online..I do notes/messenger..then phone calls for awhile then meet..Soooo I'd say 3 months maybe..but I'm not normal..lmao


Your a sweetheart

I'll probably never meet anybody online to meet in person again.laugh

Why is that?

Because I seem to be a magnet for Mr.Wrong..Mr.Right can't see me..I am invisible to him.laugh

I run from anyone who wants to meet right away. I need to talk for a couple of months, at the very least..e-mail, then phone..I want to have a really good feeling for the person. When I first started doing this, if someone wanted to meet right away I would..but they weren't interested in getting to know me..they just wanted someone to paw. Good things are worth the investment of time..


You've just had bad luck.. It happens.. But emailing over an extended amount of time doesn't mean he's not that same way.. He could be emailing tons of women and just playing his cards right.. Or, he could be just weird and taking way too much time to think while he's emailing..

At least you'd get to know if he's a weirdo right away if you met.. That way you wouldn't be wasting so much time emailing.. That's how I look at it anyways..

You asked a very good question. I think it depends. Sometimes people get so excited, and then they meet the person and its over before they started because they rushed..... Take ur time and just be sure you are ready for anything...

would you wait before meeting someone you met online?


I would wait until they felt comfortable enough, and brought it up.

Expecting too much..um..the only thing I expect is for a guy to be able to see beyond my chair and actually see me..and stop seeing the dollar signs that they apparently see..lol

I've gone from 2 weeks (big mistake) to almost a year. The almost a year one is who I'm with now. Sometimes patience is a good thing.

TheCaptain and I took about three months to meet in person, but we knew that our feelings for one another were so strong, seeing each other in person would only enhance our feelings. We might have met earlier but he lives over 2,500 miles away from me and he was coming east for a business conference, so we waited.

I spent Thanksgiving with him and his family and he is coming to meet my family in three weeks. (He said he wants to talk to my Dad blushing ):heart: :heart:

I think it depends on the person's prior experience. I've waited hours, to days or weeks, to months and years....you name it. None of that really mattered.

Fact of the matter is, it is your comfort level and circumstance, not to mention viability of meeting.

I think once you start to have feelings, to build a connection, then it's time to meet. If you wait too long you run the risk of "romanticizing" and creating a fictional character that is not like the person you'll actually meet. Who can compare to that?

I do not mean people do this intentionally, but I know I'm one of those that do it. I want my reality to be exactly that... Fantasies are not what they are cracked up to be, once you try to act them out. They serve a purpose, though. Just not in online dating... not for me. flowerforyou
