When's the right time?
Posted: 1/21/2007 2:26:30 AM
hi all, just seeking a little advice.

I've finally been able to have a conversation with a woman here at POF, we've sent each other mail for a two weeks or so and it seems to be going well. I haven't tried to ask to many questions blah, blah you get the idea.

No for my question - If everything keeps going well, how long should I wait to -
a) get her number to chat on phone?
b) if that keeps going well, ask her out somewhere to meet?

I haven't tried to be pushy with question or come on strong, I feel a connection but don't want to wait to long and maybe loose out. haven't had a date for a year and a bit so trying to make sure I don't stuff it up :P

any help here would be great

thanks

just ask. if you feel comfortable enough to get her try giving yours instead and say you'd really like it if you called either she will, wont or gives you her number instead to let you decide when to call. as for meet when ever your ready.

Ask asap. Worse case scenario, she will say no (now you can stop wasting your time). Best case scenario- you meet, and everything goes great. If you don't ask, someone else might get to her first...

Tell her this, it's been so enjoyable chatting with you and think it'd be even better in person. Not a direct hey, wanna meet. Try that and see how it works, but DO IT. As soon as possible.

Two weeks of email and it's going well? Yup, ask for her number. Offer her yours too, it's only fair.

Oh, and you should be asking a lot of questions. How else are you going to know if you want to meet this person?

After two weeks you should be able to talk to her on the phone. If you think that she might uncomfortable giving out her number, why not offer yours?

Good luck, OP.

i use to ask myself this at one point, and after some time realised that if i had to ask, then it was not the right time.. and that i would know for sure when the right time was.

i would not attempt the phone thing until after a meeting, because its the same as being online in some respects.. but yeah if you really feel comfortable that you would like to meet this person, and you feel that she would like to meet you, then i encourage you to just ask her straight out, or at least tell her that you are thinking that you would like to meet... if there is any doubt, then my encouragement is to keep going as it is until the right time comes along

you need to show interest right away. if you don't ask her for her number so you can call her up and take her out sometime she will assume you are not interested and will move along. be honest, say what you mean and mean what you say. remember us girls don't read minds.
