Men its important that when you meet women online i.e dating sites, facebook, twitter that you try to set up a face to face meeting as soon as possible. That way you can see what they really look like, guage each other personalities and to see if your even compatible with each other. This also applies to women that you've met in person like bars, clubs, malls etc. If you get their number to try to set up a quick meeting asap.

I've known guys who have talked to women for months without ever seeing them in person. If your looking for a pen pal then that's ok but if youre looking for a date then ask them out. A lot of women are teases who already are in a realtionship so they just get online for some attention. You want to weed them out? The quickest way is try to get them to meet you in person. Most attention whores wont they'll keep coming up with excuses not to meet.

Here is how to get a woman online (who already has some interest in you). If youre getting in a full fledged conversation online then simply ask her to exchange numbers so you can continue the conversation, dont accept emails, facebook, twitter handles etc. If she gives you the number then continue your conversation over text message. If that goes we'll then call her to set up a face to face meeting. Dont wait too long or you might the guy that she emails saying that she's found someone else.

Now if she cops out on you or flakes out then eliminate them asap and continue on your quest. Let these women know that you dont have time for games.

Opinion?

I don't like giving my number out to people right away. I'd rather chat online a couple of times first. Creeps can get waaaay too much info from your cell number and/or bombard you with texts so it's good to kind of gauge whether or not they're a nutbag before you go handing out your number.

And even sometimes that approach fails. I had this one guy who seemed alright, so after chatting a few times I gave him my number and he completely blew up my phone within minutes. I don't always carry my cell with me, and I don't really text a whole lot but when I checked it about an hour after giving him my number, he was having a conniption because I hadn't replied. Seriously? SLOW.YOUR.ROLL.

This is right most of the time.

The only reason I can think of not to meet a girl in person ASAP is distance. If the girl lives far and you're into her, you might have to wait a little while to meet.

However, make sure you get the girl's Facebook and/or phone number (and call her, not text) just to make sure that she's even actually a real girl. If you meet a girl online and she asks for your Skype, ditch her ASAP. She's most likely a Nigerian con artist.

The exact same thing can be said to women. The behaviors you describe go both ways.

You beat me to it. Why is it always men who have to guard themselves from a deceptive female? Guys can be just as shady (even more so).

That's why I'm very hesitant about giving out my phone number. I don't think men understand why a woman is more likely to give out her email or facebook quicker than she'll give out a phone number. We have to protect ourselves. I'm not trying to say that men don't get their fair share of creeps, but I highly doubt the average man sees such vitrol and abuse in their inboxes from women who demand "proof" of their existence.

Even when meeting up with online friends, I prefer to message them for a few weeks via email before moving onto phone numbers. I've been very lucky so far in that every person I've met online (3 or 4) has turned out to be legit, but still, I prefer to be err on the side of caution and save my phone number until I am completely and uttely sure that I want to form a closer relationship with you.

I understand what you are trying to convey but as a female who has met dates via online dating or Facebook, I always utilize IM or email first to get a feel for the guy and to get a dialogue started. IF that goes well, I'll exchange numbers and text/talk to make sure I feel comfortable meeting him. It's not a game, it's being safe.

Now i'm not saying that this should happen all in one day but it shouldnt take weeks or months to meet if you guys are interested in each other.

For those with smartphones. Download the free google voice app to get a free phone number that way you dont have to give out your real number. It even gives you the option to block phone numbers etc..
