Time to go Off-line
Firstly, make sure you have critically read the possible date's profile and email(s) before agreeing to begin a phone conversation. It is very important to refrain from rushing this online dating process since from what you read the date sound wonderful, and very interesting to meet and largely depict what you have been looking for. Be careful and read closely between their lines, check for all the inconsistencies as you glimpse for anything that seems to be off. This is where you send your next email voicing your concerns. Keep the comments and observations open ended as you let things flow and outline themselves between the two of you. Never let the desire for a relationship override your judgment. In online dating, it is said that if anybody depicts potential then they will never run away from a respectful concern that has been raised.
Another thing you should do is arrange for a first meeting after a couple of weeks. Unless there could be some special reason, a couple of weeks through out which you have been emailing and making phone calls would have given two mature individuals, ample time to make a decision on taking their relationship to another level. If a party from this online dating relationship has an excuse concerning the meeting, as well as inconsistency in communication or even virtual availability, then take it as a warning and ignore it. Otherwise, you could be in correspondence with someone who is an exact opposite of what he has tried to fabricate.
Before you make a decision to go offline, make a point of avoiding any revelation of so much personalized information prior to you making a decision of meeting in person. Since what you are only sure about is that there is someone else on the other of the virtual world continuum, it takes time to know the online dating person and analyze his/her seriousness, as you wait for that important connection occasioned by your intuition. Besides, you also want some subject matter that you will share once you meet on your initial date.
Once you feel all is well and you have no huge reservations or even big concerns, then you can decide to meet. After several months or weeks within which you have started knowing someone from an online dating site, you can then make a decision to either move ahead or not. Let your instincts be your ample guide at this stage in your online dating experience. Being safe is very crucial and never at any time ignore anything occasioning uneasiness or discomfort. And also, you might never learn whether there is chemistry or not until you have been able to meet face to face.
After the date, make a point of having your farewell reflect what you think about the overall date. Let your non-verbal cues communicate whether you think you should meet again or not.
