Short answer: Three messages.

Long answer: Do you want a relationship with your phone, your laptop, or a real person in real life?

I’m not a fan of online dating, but I understand it’s popular. If you’re looking for love online, for whatever reason, don’t waste too much time. Meet in real life as soon as possible.

A lot of men think they need to “warm the lady up” before meeting in person. That’s just overthinking or a lack of confidence. Successful men don’t waste time writing endless messages or investing in someone they haven’t even met.

Here’s a simple approach: after three messages each, suggest a quick call. You’ll get far more information from a short chat than from days of texting. If you like each other and live in the same city, keep the call to 10 minutes max and suggest meeting in a couple of days.

In person, you’ll quickly see if their photos were taken years ago, from their most flattering angle, or after a Photoshop marathon. You’ll also know if there’s any chemistry—something no app can predict.

One more thing: during the early stages of dating, your phone is for setting dates only. Period. Anything more and you’re basically dating Siri.
I learned this from Corey Wayne, tested it extensively, went on a lot of dates and found an amazing person – most of it without using online dating. Try it out, thank me later.
