Many people chat for a few days to a couple of weeks, with a video call, before meeting in person. This is enough to check comfort and basic compatibility. Do not wait for months, as it can build a fantasy.
Suggest a short coffee meeting when you feel the conversation is genuine. Keep expectations modest.
Notice early signs such as your boundaries being ignored, constant criticism disguised as jokes, jealousy that limits your friends, lying about small things or rushing intimacy. Write down what you observe for a few weeks. If your gut feels uneasy, talk to a trusted friend.
