This topic keeps coming up for my SO and I. We've known each other online since August of 2009, went exclusive Oct '09, but didn't meet in person until Oct '10. During that trip we spent roughly ten days together but we hit it off, saw the chemistry was there, and knew we wanted more.
We wanted to see each other for Christmas or New Years but that didn't work out. (I'm US he's UK.) We're now planning an Easter trip that can be anywhere from seven to ten days. Depends on time off of work and all that.
So that history down, it brought us to thinking... How much time in person is really needed before deciding to move in with one another? If you talk/Skype every day does that affect the in person time at all?
One of his worries is that there will be some weird quirk or something we don't see in the visits because we're on cloud nine and haven't had any time to adjust.
Has anyone else talked this over with their SO? Any input? (If it matters - I'd be the one moving to the UK. It's a bit of a process to get there and we'd have to go the marriage route.)
Thanks in advance!
