You guys should talk on the phone and see how the conversation goes. That's a good step towards meeting in person. If you have chemistry on the phone, it'll be likely that you'll have chemistry in person. If not, then you know there's really no point in meeting.

You should not be texting for a whole month before you ask a girl out. A few lighthearted texts, then ask her out.
You should have been on your 3rd or 4th date with this girl if it was going well by now.

If you do the phone, crack a few jokes, ask some preliminary safe questions and make a date within 10-15 minutes of that call. Then say you need to go exercise or do something for work and end the call.

Chemistry and connections can only happen in person. People can be one way on the phone and another in real life.

Alex is right, OP. Learn from this experience and don't make the same mistake with the next one. Always ask a girl if you can call and speak to her to gauge her mental sturdiness. There are a lot of wackos online.

Good point. If she ends up being a wacko, the OP wasted a month of texting. He could have been doing much more productive things instead of texting.

His time is important, he shouldn't be giving it away to just anyone. Especially strangers.

Also OP, do not take her to a nice place. Nice places (if you mean expensive restaurants and the like) are places you take her after you got along and are further in the relationship.

If you go to dinner and you don't connect, then you are stuck until dinner is over. Go to a night time establishment where you can talk and have a drink (or do more than talk if you really get along). If you are getting along and you get hungry, then go eat.

Trust me, I learned all the above the hard way.

If you've been texting a girl for a month and haven't asked her out, and haven't even talked to her on the phone, I'm sure she's thinking that you're not really interested or serious about dating. I'm pretty sure she's mentally already moved on.
