This is my very favorite thing to want to shake people over when they're dating again. Stop texting and meet them already.

So many women believe that if they text long enough, they'll finally feel comfortable meeting him. But you don't get to know somebody over text. You get to see the pretty picture he's trying to draw for you.

You've been messaging for six weeks and you feel like you know him?

You don't. You just don't.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why texting feels safe but keeps you stuck
• How you end up "building" a man in your head, filling every gap with what you hope is there
• Why the chemistry may not survive meeting in person (and why the reverse is just as common)
• Why extended messaging is mostly avoidance wearing a better outfit
• My two-week rule, and what it means when you can't get to coffee in that time
• How to spot when "he" might actually be a scammer
• How meeting in person stops the limerence and the fantasizing

If you've never been in a room with him, are you really dating him?

Be brave. Decide to meet within the next two weeks, or let him go. Make it a public place, keep it to an hour, and tell people where you'll be and when you'll be back.
