Search Results: how long before it''s over

28F, I’ve had this guy following me on IG for maybe 2+ years. We matched on a dating app a while back, I think he remembers the timeline better than I do. He ended up following me on IG, we msged a bit & ever so often he’d like my photos or send me a message. I usually left him on read, we spoke on the phone for the first time in 2021. We’re from the same state but he moved PST for work, he offered to pay to fly me to where he lives & would pay for the hotel too. I told him that I’d need to get to know someone a bit better before making such a drastic move. That’s when the convo was initiated over the phone, he seemed like a pretty cool guy it was a good talk but I knew it was long distance & saw it as more of a pen pal. We didn’t message for a few months after he left a message of mine on read (he offered to play a virtual game with me but never followed through), he ended up contacting again after my dog died. It’s back to the emojis & liking my photos.

I'm curious as to how many married couples married someone like a childhood friend vs someone they ran into and got romantically involved shortly thereafter.

In other words how long was it before you and your spouse got romantically involved? You can use a measurement of 6 months for the yes or no poll (was it over 6 months since meeting each other before you and your spouse got romantically involved).
