How long do I wait?

I have been seeing someone that I ahve met on line for about three months..the only problem is the distance between where each of us live, but so far it has not been a major issue...here is my question...I have not talked to him in a few days how long should I wait before calling him or sending him an email? This whole dating thing is new to me...have not done it in a long time and after seeing a few toads I think I may have found someone that is not a toad!
Thanks

That really depends on so many factors. Are you exclusive, for example? Early on in the dating process I prefer to let the guy drive the communication, so that I know he's really interested in me, and not just responding to my emails, etc. to be polite. But if you've been dating for 3 months (and really DATING, in person, not just emailing and talking on the phone), then I would feel free to initiate a call or email, especially if we were exclusive.

Thanks for the ideas...we have seen each other a few times. We have talked about the exclusive dating. Hmmm......just don't get men! This is hard! Maybe I should just give up on him.
