How Long Should I Wait Before Meeting My Online Date For The First Time?

There is no sense in communicating with someone endlessly, talking on the phone for hours and days, if you can just as easily do so in person to find out if you like each other.

Before I came back to Match, I was on a couple of smaller "niche" dating sites, but they just didn't have enough members to be effective in what is essentially a numbers game. At this point, I've recently only "dated" one person I've met on a dating site.

But since I can't yet speak to the dating part on internet dating this time around, this article is going to focus on meeting people. It will also be focused on a man's perspective but I hope it will be useful...
