during initial getting to know someone how soon do you want to meet in person ?
Meeting people locally is always difficult and it always seems the people who 'get' you (or claim to 'get' you) are significant distance away (I use a 100 km radius to definite 'significant distance').
I live near Newcastle NSW and there are hardly any responses from 'local' people and most search results
'bleed' people from Sydney into the lists even if the parameters are tightly constrained.
How soon do you expect to be able to meet someone in person after initially starting to chat? With my shiftwork and time with my daughter I have few 'windows' of opportunity to meet people for dating and might be lucky to have one day or evening available a fortnight (usually even that's a fluke).
If you are chatting regularly how long do you wait for a response to a message or attempted phone call before deciding it's a 'dead duck'? My view is that 2 days with completely no response not even 'sorry I can't respond now but will tomorrow' or similar means the glimmer of interest is gone (probably chatting to someone else already).
Do you feel comfortable giving someone your phone number or email address for chatting outside of the limits of a dating site and how often do you expect the other person to communicate once you transfer to more personal and private communication types (before lining up to meet in person)?
