Too quick?

Hi, I am back!! One after another!

I met this guy online at a dating site, yesterday he gave me his email address at his 2nd email from the dating site. I emailed him back. We emailed each other back and forth within 1 hour, on his 2nd replied email he gave me his phone number and asked for my photos, I emailed him back my photos and my cell #(I wanted him to call me first) and he replied me back and he called me ( I didn't pick up thow) and left the message. That all happened within one hour!

I emailed him back told him I got his message today, he replied me back within 1 hour asked me if I want to do something tomorrow and call him if I'd like too!

Do you guys think it happen too quickly? Should I call him and say I'd like to meet him tomorrow althought it's a last min plan? I actually have a lunch plan tomorrow but nothing after that.

And by the way, he looks cute from his picture and he's 6'2. But he's 5 years younger than me, he said he had no problem with that.........I've never dated anyone who's younger than me for more than 2 years, I don't know if it's too much........

Please advise!

Thanks!

No it's the natural progression to things, staying online, chatting, emailing etc. puts you less in reality. It's best to talk briefly set up a date and bring it out in the real world.

Unless there are red flags in his profile or in anything that was said during the emails, I would meet him for coffee tomorrow. Use email and phone calls to screen for obvious red flags, then if there aren't any, meet in real life ASAP.

5 years difference? Depends on your ages......If you are 24 and he is 19, that's too big of an age difference, if you ask me. If you're 45 and he's 40, go for it!

That's something you need to come up with for yourself--your own list of red flags and dealbreakers. It totally depends on what you're looking for.

For me, it would include things like any references to sex in the profile or during your initial conversations, and signs of emotional immaturity/instability.

"I am between 26 to 29"

Not that it has any bearing on your post, but why would you be coy about your age with us folks on this board...?
