It depends on how good both parties are at messaging. I wouldn’t waste more than a few weeks without meeting or moving on. Sometimes they’re great at communicating through texts but then when you meet they can’t hold a conversation.

Most men lie to. You’ll get ghosted a lot.

Always meet somewhere public and tell someone where you’re going and who you’re seeing. Don’t go if they don’t plan a real date. I’m happy to pay my own way but I do think the guy should pay on the first date.

Sleep with them whenever you feel ready too. Don’t worry about these stupid rules that some people have. If sex is all they want they’ll leave after the first time whether it’s the first date or the 10th.

There’s a few great people who do podcasts about how to navigate dating. They go through what behaviours you should and shouldn’t put up with and signs to look out for.

This is all said from recent experiences. I have quite a few stories about how weird and wrong some dates can go. Good luck!
