How long should you talk before meeting someone from a dating app?

A few days of real exchanges, and aim to propose a date within about a week. The number falls out of the purpose rather than being arbitrary: you are establishing three things — whether they can hold a conversation, whether you want the same kind of relationship, and whether anything about them worries you. Those usually take a handful of genuine back-and-forths. Once you have them, more messaging adds nothing, because everything left on the list cannot be learned from text at all.

Is it bad to text for weeks before meeting?

It is the fastest route to a fantasy version of someone. Text is an edited medium, so weeks of good messages build a person in your head who is composed, funny on demand and always available — and then you meet the real one, who is nervous and pauses and has no witty reply ready. The disappointment is real but it is not about them; you spent three weeks building someone else. The exceptions are genuine: shift work, long distance, and people who need longer to feel safe.

Should I video call before meeting someone?

It is a reasonable requirement, and it should not need justifying to the person you are asking. Ten minutes on a call tells you things a week of messages will not: whether the voice matches the profile, whether the conversation moves when nobody can edit their answers, whether the ease you felt in text survives real time. Treat the response as data too — someone who argues about it, makes you feel unreasonable for asking, or agrees and then keeps not doing it is telling you something worth more than any message that came before.

What if we talked a lot and there was no spark in person?

Normal, and not evidence that either of you did something wrong. Text charisma and in-person chemistry are different skills, and being good at one says almost nothing about the other — which is exactly why more messaging cannot substitute for meeting. It is also an argument for meeting sooner rather than later: the thing you most want to know is the one thing the medium cannot tell you.

Is chatting first just avoidance?

Sometimes, and the tell is specific: are you asking anything, or only answering? A long comfortable exchange in which you never once try to move it forward is usually avoidance wearing the costume of getting to know someone. If that is the pattern, changing the timeline will not fix it. If you are asking questions and steering, a few days of conversation is doing real work rather than delaying it.

Hvor meget skal man skrive, før man mødes?

Tre ting der er værd at få afklaret før en første date, hvorfor cirka en uge er yderkanten, og hvorfor et opkald først er et krav og ikke kræsenhed.

Talk long enough to learn three things — whether they can hold a conversation, whether they want the same kind of relationship, and whether anything about them worries you — then propose a date. In practice that is a few days of real exchanges, not weeks. Past roughly a week of texting without meeting, you are building an idea of a person rather than getting to know one, and the idea is what you will be disappointed by. Everything else, including whether you are attracted to them, is better established in person.
