g1lly Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I have met this guy from the internet and have been talking for about 3 weeks now and we seem to get on really well. We are both keen to meet, he asked me once and I asked him twice but both times neither of us have been able to make the dates suggested. I am a singer so work many evenings and weekends and he has children from a previous relationship that he naturally commits a lot of his time to. I know that many of your frown on internet connections and I am very aware that many people are not who they say they are. But in this instance I would like to see the best in people until proved otherwise. I wondered if any of you thought there is a time scale when the moment to meet passes? is there such a thing as too late? How long should I leave it before trying to arrange another date? I dont want to seem pushy as we are just getting to know each other?
Cee Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Since you haven't met, it is not pushy to make a date. The date is the first meeting and the only way to have a chance at anything. It would better to do this on the phone rather than IM or email. Arrange to have a phone call. Have a nice conversation and if you are still interested, make arrangements for a get together at the end of the call. In another thread, someone commented that if people are too busy to make a 1st date, then there's little hope for a relationship. I don't think there is a rule about windows, but it is a red flag when people can't get together within a reasonable time. It means there may be something (or someone) else going on.
