I have been talking, well e-mailing, this girl I met online for a couple of weeks now. After the third e-mail I suggested we talk over the phone. She agreed. Its now two weeks later and we are still e-mailing back and forth. Asked again on Monday how she felt in talking over the phone and/or setting up a meet. Gave her two coffee houses (one and indie and the other a Starbucks). They are about 15 miles away from where she lives. About 20 miles from me. Thought it was a fair place. E-mails me back and says We should meet up this weekend; preferably Saturday night.). Says she, her mother, and sister are all taking care of her father (he's going through kemo for prostate cancer.); as she says meeting in person is much better than over the phone or something).

Few of issues. 1) I am assuming she wants me to go over to her town instead of meeting somewhere in the middle; which is what I normally do. 2) Is it strange to meet before talking over the phone? 3) Already have plans for Saturday night. 4) Have another girl I am talking to (on the phone) today which may also end up in meeting somewhere for coffee.

Or is this talking before meeting not a good thing generally?
