    Back again. Online dating question.

    So I met this girl on a dating site, and we've been talking on facebook since. Mostly private messages, and a little chatting. It's been like 4 days or so, we have some stuff in common and seem to get along.
    What I'm wondering is when/ how I should try to make some sort of move. I know she broke up with her bf not too long ago, but she seems completely over him. Still, I don't want to rush her. All we've done is talk on facebook, which is weird, I know. I feel like I should do more, maybe give her my number and suggest that she could call me sometime. If things keep going well, how long should i wait to ask her out? Would that be a mistake?
    We dont know each other well and I don't want to seem like I'm coming on too strong especially if she's not ready for a relationship right now. On the other hand, I don't want to stay just like this because I'm afraid we'll just drift apart or I'll end up being stuck in the 'friend zone'.
    So should I try to get a number and maybe a date, or would that be going too far right now? I'm just afraid to do nothing.

    Within 3 or 4 emails you should be asking for a date via online dating. Period.

    Yeah, you met her on a dating site. Presumably she's looking to date. Ask her out for coffee/drinks. No big deal.

    Ya ask for her on a date.....just don't expect a GF out of it. Don't want to be a rebound guy. You will end up in the friends zone if you don't ask her out.

    just chatting on line tends to make people fantasize what the person is like. if you keep chatting/fantasizing, even if she is great in person, she won't compare to the fantasy. ask to talk to her on the phone once or twice, then ask her out if she doesnt give you the heebeegeebees.

    as for the recent break up. watch out. many people use online relationships as their rebound. if she stalls too much on phone calls or meeting, she isn't ready.

    I did Internet dating for 4 months. It went really well. The basic progression is 1. meet on site and exchange pleasantries 2. Get each other's e-mail addresses and chat b e-mail for 2 or 3 exchanges 3. Get phone numbers and have 1-3 phone conversations 4. Arrange a date, or a whole bunch of dates.

    Do not wait, she met you on a dating site that she signed up for! Clearly she is intending to date right now! Somep people you meet on dating sites won't develop into anything serious. But some will. You won't know until you try.

    You don't need to wait anymore, just ask her out It's a natural step, as you met on a dating website.

    Just ask her out. You have nothing to lose.
    I will do my best to reply with an educated, humble and honest answer. Ultimately, it is up to you whether you want to listen to my advice or ignore it completely. Sometimes, my advice may be wrong; occasionally, it will be right. Regardless, I want to do my best to give people answers they are seeking.

    Since you met her on a dating site, do as the forum is saying and ask her out. Also, don't wait too long, since there is a good possibility that you are not the only one she has met on that site. And they probably aren't waiting to ask her out.
