Viking Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 How long is usually considered appropriate before I could ask a girl I've been chatting with online to see if she'd like to meet up in person? She volunteered the fact that we both have the same day(s) off and that she is going to be further south towards me than usual. I live just south of the Canadian border and she lives about 30 miles or so north, but is going to be in a town that is pretty much just the other side of the line. Was her telling me about her day off (because I told her that I have that day off first), an invitation? Especially because she emailed back after I sent one. Am I reading too much into this? I am not too well versed in online dating, but seem to have decent luck striking up "conversation" with these ladies. Is being American and looking at Canadian girls problematic in the girl's eyes? I don't want to be constantly traveling and driving just for random dates. I'm sure they're thinking similar things? Any advice for someone who is just testing out the online dating scene? Thanks!
xjohnsgirlx Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 im not sure about the whole american n canadian thing as im from australia... but because you mentioned the day off and then she mentioned she would be in town to me it seems as tho she was giving off hints.... what would it hurt asking her to meet up when shes in town for a drink or lunch ... it would be nice i reakon.... good lunch with whatever you do decide

I have lacrosse practice tomorrow at 6PM, thus I didn't want to make any plans because I'd have to leave for practice and not really be able to do much. On a side note, she's a year older than me. Is it weird that I haven't ever dated someone older than me and actually avoid it? It has something to do with me wanting to be the older/dominant partner. Is that weird?:laugh:
SpanksTheMonkey Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Is being American and looking at Canadian girls problematic in the girl's eyes? My one ex is Canadian just talk about moose hunting and hockey and you will do fine lol.. Just a reminder tho if things ever do work out one of you will eventually have to deal with immigration. Just something to consider 1st when dating out of your country..
xjohnsgirlx Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 theres nothing wrong with an older girl younger guy relationship. who knows if it would even be a relationship... asking her to meet you isnt asking her to date you ... you do have to like get to know them in person first too i think. i myself would not avoid it, meeting people is always new and exciting. But if you have already arranged plans then i wouldnt try and schedule toomanythings in at once .... you dont want to turn up late to a first meet lol =)
Author Viking Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 So I hinted that I'd like to visit her...and this is what she sent back: First she answers some details about what I asked her...then, "So...have u decided when you're coming up ;)" I guess she invited me. Hopefully I can find a day away from work, school and lacrosse. I'd really like to meet this girl. She seems really great from what we've talked about and she is super cute. It seems that she wants me to come up. I can post more of the emails if that would be helpful to decide what she's thinking.
