how soon is too soon to meet?
Posted: 2/24/2005 1:38:00 PM
Just wondering as i have only been here a week or so and haven't really seen too much on what a good time frame is for meeting online to in person. Myself; I would like to do it ASAP to make sure the person is who they say they are and if there was no spark; could move on.

Any stories/advice?

I would have to go with you Crystal....some people advise against IM or doing chat sessions with someone, because they have a tendency to stall meeting in person.

So often I come across this, after a few long chats, I would ask for their number, and they'd be like "Um...I'm not ready" or "I don't like to be pressured"

However, its hard to find someone actually WILLING to meet you sooner than later.

asap is the best imo. if u start to like eachother on the net, there is too much pressure into the real meeting and it may be crap.

If you didn't make the initial acquaintance through the Internet, how soon would it be before you met otherwise?

Don't worry about that, I do the same thing. I find that if the online chat goes on for too long, you start to build an unrealistic picture of the person. I also like to meet after a few (3 or 4) good chat sessions to make sure what I've been told so far is true and to see if there is an attraction. Chemistry is a big thing and you can't measure that online. Good luck and stick to your guns!

so glad you asked this Q...Im going to start travels & many people have asked to drop in with my friends & meet...Does it feel weird?

Do you have anything to say after having great conversation fr: the safety of your pc...

koradya

Do you think its possible to make friends & meet with them on your travels from this site?
or when men say 'sure friendship' they always mean something else...

just curious if it works along the lines of real life, even when you have spelled out....I travel alot...wanting to meet locals to make friends with!!!!!!!!!
