I think you should meet as soon as each person feels comfortable. I prefer sooner than later. That way there is no time for game playing and you know the other party is really interested also.

I like to meet ASAP... I hate all that prolonged wishy washy crap. You can't know how you really click with someone until you speak to them face to face and read their body language

Why would you have to "wait" to meet? I mean, unless you're one of these that find terrorists and ninjas behind every bush, just find a nice public place, Applebee's, Shananigans, McDONALD'S, Anywhere a lot of people congregate, Wal-mart usually has a food court, even if it's small one, there's TONS of people, security, etc. What is there to worry about? Waffle House is another good place to meet, shoot the breeze, etc. If you live close enough and don't have to commute very far, why not?

I think you need to talk online for at least 2 weeks depending on how the conversations are going before you meet someone online....and when you are ready to meet him/her meet in a causal setting where others will be...mall / coffee shop / restaurant………ect..
I think another factor that will make ur decision to meet someone in person easier would be to talk on the phone.....u can learn a lot about someone from the way they sound...u may be interested or this could throw you off...

I haven't met with anyone online yet, But I would say the time limit would vary by the distance and the amount of free one has..... If in my city, probably a week or two, before a meeting for coffee or brunch... if futher away??????? it would all depend on the 2 factors mentioned above.... JMO>>>

I don't mind prolonging (which I do) meeting. So far I have discovered just in the course of e-mailing (usually within a few weeks) that I'm not entirely even interested enough to meet. Well, there is one that I may meet soon, but really I'm in no hurry. If the interest is going to fizzle out within a few weeks, I'd just rather it be all over the internet.

I agree a week is about right. You can get a feel for them by them if you are asking the right questions and meeting in a public place. Definitly better to know right away.

Well that can depend if it's long distance or not to and 95% of the time when you do meet somone your interested in. They live like a state or two away.
I met my ex after 3 months do to the distance so i had to plan things out, but even then if i'm interested in somone, i do like to take a little time getting to know them before we meet. For me, i have noticed after chatting with somone women for a little time, they seem to change and there actions is what will make my choice on meeting them or not.

Within a week of emailing back and forth and talking on the phone a couple times. If a person lives within a 25 mile radius of you what's the hold up? I feel if someone is prolonging meeting you or talking to you on the phone, they are phantom dating you.
You probably will never meet the person because, they are married or want to hide behind the computer.
Talking on phone before meeting is a must for me. I like to hear the tone of the person and you will know real quick if you still want to meet them.

Depends...if you have to e-mail back and forth a few times and live more than an hour away then who knows. Now if you can chat with them on Yahoo instant messenger or AOL or any of the others and you live within that hour. I would go meet for COFFEE the next day.
Coffee....15 minutes and your gone if there is no attraction of any kind.

I think talking for a week is the shortest I have ever done before meeting someone. If the chemistry isn't there why waste your time and their's.
