How long should you wait to meet irl from the apps? I feel like too soon might give dtf vibes.. and should you take it slow if you’re seeking a long term relationship?

If you get good vibes then ASAP. You can validate in person and not waste your time with endless back and forth. Meeting too soon doesn’t mean dtf.

Meeting in person doesn’t mean you can’t take it slow. Agree with M1 I would rather meet someone in person asap to see if there’s chemistry

This guy I’m talking to is super dry over text, but seemed to be nice and in the same area as me.. so I told him let’s meet

When I was on the apps, I was in no rush to meet irl. It ended working in my favor, with a high percentage of first dates leading to long term dating. And now I’m married to someone who fondly remembers how we really got to know each other before meeting in person the first time.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
