How long should I spend emailing someone before I actually meet him or her?

Not too long. While email can be quite revealing, it also has its limits. If you are really searching for love, you are not going to find it alone in your room with your personal computer.

Dating is essentially a numbers game. The more people you actually MEET, the more likely you are to find the person you click with in that special way. Having an online correspondence which goes on for months and months can be a way of avoiding a relationship rather than a way of initiating one.
