I would be really suspicious if I didn't know basic information like marital status, kids, where they grew up, where they work, where and how they live, how they spend their time and with whom....who are the meaningful people in their lives....and so on. \n\nAside from the basic stuff as listed above, you should also have figured out their (honest) personal views about relationships and how to treat people, their goals in life and what moral guidelines they follow. That should be enough to give you a sense of whether you're compatible enough to go beyond three months. \n\nThe first month, people are usually on their "best behavior", but second and third you start noticing if their actions match up to the way they're trying to present themselves...its an indication of how they'll treat you as well long term.\n\nBut trust your instincts. If you're asking this question, you may feel something is amiss. See how the person reacts if you were to ask about any of the above. If you can't communicate openly after three months, you may want to ask if its worth continuing to date this person.

It depends really on your, resources and how old you are. Like if you can't drive yet, if there is a school trip or something, hang out and sit close. Or if you want like a more datish situation I'd start with just going out with some friends. (Or hint, hint an older sibling, if you have one.) Like a group or double date. You might want to pick somewhere were you're comfortable and can talk first, instead of jumping into the movie scene, where there would be major pressure and little emotional connection. \n  As for how I acted towards them, hmm... can't I just not answer? lol. *blush* At first I would so destroy the conversation, I got massively nervous, but some how I would manage to find something to say. Oh well, he was shy too so we would end up laughing at eachother. But then you get used to eachother, so even though they still give you butterflies to where you lose all ability to think, you aren't as worried about how you act, and are more normal towards them. \n  What I did was started to call him several nights a week to get to know him, and figure eachother out. Yall I know it's so much easier to say than do. But after awhile you get use to it, he'll call you, and you won't be able to go to sleep without talking to eachother first. Eventually, you'll know if you're right for eachother and your going out just kind of happens, you just need to confirm it with eachother. It worked for me, and we've been going out for over a year or two.

Calm down...relax and start a relationship here.  Lets not rush into anything but getting to know each other first.

You'll just know when the time is right with the right person.  Nothing you can really know before the perfect moment just happens.  As soon as it does you'll understand that time.

wait until you have the confidence to ask her out.

I would give it at least a week, unless you feel that person is attracted to you as well. The longer you wait, the more receptive they may be and say yes. Also, the first time (or 2), make it a friendly date...try asking what she thinks of certain movies that just came out in theaters and if she says she wants to see it, tell her that you wanted to see it too and be like "hey, we should totally go see that! Wanna go this weekend?" Or ask her opinion about resturants or new drinks...you get the point. Just make it seem like it is not a "date", but just hanging out. After doing that a couple times actually say do you want to go on a date? At least by that time she will have gotten to know you and will not have felt that she needed to act a certain way or be uncomfortable because it is a date :D GOOD LUCK!!!

it's called dating, let them know you're not certain about anything at this point, so you want to date before seeing just them.

Sometimes, you meet somone with the pretext of being in a relationship and not friends.  If it clicks, it progresses.  On the other hand, if you make a friend, it will definitely take too long.

A little time (a couple of days) never killed any relationship. Leave him wanting more by giving him some way to contact you, or get some info from him and call him later. Another tip: fun and chill group activities are a great way to get to know someone before pairing off alone. How about inviting him on a group thing (with your family or friends) before committing to a date? If he's not into getting to know you over time, you can gaurantee he's not the one your looking for.

long enough to be sure that you are absolutely compatible, it's not a matter of time... and a breakup on the way is not important as long as it helped you to get  to know and understand each other better. Take your time, it's a life-long commitment...good luck

first you have to get to know him because if you don't then going out with him could be a bad idea.  but if you know him you could bring up the subject and then just say "would you like to go out with me?" or you could have a friend ask him for you to avoide the nerves.

Well, one of the main "rules" (if there really are any) is to make sure that you spend an ample amount of time actually getting to know this person through chat or emails.    You can tell a lot about a person when you speak to them, by how they respond and just by getting to know them.   The next step is to speak a few times on the phone.  Hearing their voice is also a good indicator on whether or not you think you'd even want to go out on this date.\n\nRemember too, people lie constantly online - so really, you best bet is to not go into this "blind" and exchange pictures.  Also, make sure that your date is at a public place and let someone know where you are going to be and at what times (just in case)... Have fun!
