So…let’s talk about WHEN to make the decision to move from “texting” to “talking”.
How do you know when you are ready to take the next step?
First and foremost, you’ve met a match you think is great. Your conversations flow with ease. You are attracted to them (physically AND emotionally). You have a genuine interest in what they have to say (and vice versa). You have similar philosophies on life. You look forward to hearing from them and you are basically ‘on the same page’.
When I say you are ‘on the same page’ – I mean you have had some conversations about what they are looking for and it matches your own wants/needs. You should be confident that talking on the phone will lead to eventually MEETING in person. Feeling hesitant to meet is natural but if they never want to meet in person – what is the point?
Meeting in person is a whole different ballgame…
Waiting three years to meet Mike was NOT normal or ideal. He couldn’t come to Canada for personal reasons and then Covid made it impossible for me to go to the USA. We had no choice. Meeting in person was not an option.
My advice today? Ask yourself – is this going anywhere? Is this worth my time? If you answer ‘no’ to either of these questions – move on. Someone out there is waiting for you. Don’t waste your time or energy on a hopeless relationship destined to die.
The universe knows…what’s meant to be – will be.
