How long did it take you before meeting in-person for a first date with whoever was the greatest love of your life?

I was just eating my Burger King nuggets for lunch now and thinking about how it'll almost be ten years since the passing of my former fianceé. I've been thinking about her often. How we first met on the dating site OKCupid (looooong before it went mega-woke). She initiated first contact with me after I glanced her profile, and she followed me back to mine and was intrigued by my long-ass autobiography on there and started the conversation.

One thing that kept the conversation going was that she was really good at conversing, both in written form and talking. I was too, even more than her. We would exchange books' worth of messages to each other. Seriously; each message would be like 10,000 characters and take 40-90 minutes to type. No other woman before then, or since, could match me in speaking or typing.

After about 8-10 days of exchanging entire novels to each other, we finally started talking to each other on the phone. In real life, I have a TERRIBLE Mike-Tyson-esque voice, so I hesitated talking on the phone, but she was fine with my voice. Her voice was SOOOO good, though! Perfectly feminine, soft, sweet, and just SEXY in a non-erotic way!

One of our early phone conversations started at 11pm on a Friday night, and concluded at 7am the next morning. We had spent eight hours non-stop talking to each other; from everything from past loves, to astronomy. And it was effortless! Neither of us had to try to keep going... She only took one bathroom break the whole time.

So because she was the only woman in my life I can say I had perfect "chemistry" with, there was no rush to meet up. She was also a full-time nursing student and banker. We didn't meet until one month knowing each other. And she got there before me and was sitting down so that I wouldn't be taken aback that yes, she really was 6'3.5"/191cm.
