A general view of online dating and in particular Irish dating online.

I was amazed last week, when I was chatting to a few members, that they were messaging away to their hearts content, but had not actually gone on any dates. And so I got to thinking, how long do you email someone before meeting up? I would have thought that after a maximum of about 3 or 4 days messaging someone you really do know whether or not you'd like to take it to the next stage and actually meet. And you do have lots to talk about when you meet because you've been messaging eachother so you know quite a lot about one another.

I know for some, it can be a bit daunting to ask someone out. And I know that a lot of old fashioned values still hold true and many women wait for the guy to do the asking out bit. But guys believe me, if she didn't want to meet you, chances are you wouldn't still be messaging eachother. So any of you guys who are feeling a little unsure - bite the bullet - ask her on a date.
And girls if you're fed up waiting for him to do the asking - then you do the asking.

I'd love to hear your comments on this one.
