always meet in a public place for one thing.

i think it depends on how well you think you know them, i met someone after a couple of weeks, but then again i have met others after months

you'll know

My sister and her husband now met on the internet and they met after a month! I think it's important to know who you are going to meet and make sure you tell a friend where you are going and keep a mobile phone on you incase it gets a bit hideous! Be careful because there are some freaks out there!

I dont knock internet dating but there is no way of really telling if it is truly safe to put your heart on the line with an internet love unless you are just having fun but i guess when you really think you know the person so how ever long that takes then u should meet with them get to know who you are dating that goes for any kind of dating online or off.

well u sahould arrange to meet when ever you know each otehr very well, check to see if if the person is a joker and can have a laugh or gets angry very quickly, the point is not to meet the next day and jump in bed, meet in a nice place where many people r there.

Well i met this guy online 5 years ago but then he got a girlfriend so we stopped talking and then we started talking again like 5 months ago and we saw that we still felt the same way about each other and we decided to try being together regardless of the distance between us. I actually met him face to face like three days after we started dating and then like three weeks later I saw him again for his b-day and then we broke up 3 weeks later. But to answer your question I think you should get to meet the person as much as you can online and through the phone and then when you both feel comfortable to meet in person go for it but for the first meeting together try and set it in a public setting like at the mall, park, coffee shop etc because you never know what the person maybe like in reality and if you wanna take a friend along do it i mean you can never be too careful. Good luck and be safe!

Immediately. You can't tell anything about a person without actual contact with them in person. Basically, the exchange is something like, "Hey, you seem interesting. I'd like to meet you". Then you meet, during the day, for a few minutes at a relatively neutral place. For coffee, if you are like most people. At a tasteful, upscale, cocktail lounge, if you know what you are doing.

If a person balks at this very basic first step, then you might as well break off all contact with them. Something about them is sabotaging the process of meeting other people and there is zero chance of it going anywhere. In other words, if they aren't focussed on meeting people like this, you will NEVER meet them so you might as well not waste your time. The online component of internet dating lasts seconds and minutes, not days, weeks and months, lol. Any person who doesn't get that basic fact, can't successfully use this technique to find someone.

So, what is the point of the initial meeting? You are spending a few minutes to find out if there is any interest at all. And you will know immediately if you should just leave it at that initial meeting or not. And no interaction online, good or bad, influences that in the slightest. You can waste alot of time with a person online and you will never meet them (the longer you interact online, the less chance you will ever actually meet them). And, if you do, you will find that they are never the way you thought they were and are starting from square one with them. In other words, there is no way of knowing if you click with them until you actually meet them in person.
