I'm fairly demi-sexual so my preferred early vetting of people is to chat online. However, if I feel like we've established a rapport, I'm happy to meet in person within a week or two, and move things forward from there. But I'm finding that even when I'm ready to meet, it's really freaking hard to get calendars aligned, and then after a month or so it becomes apparent that it's never going to happen.

I have been "meeting" a lot of people online to sort of build a "pipeline" of potential friends/partners. I feel like that's pretty slutty and cynical to describe it that way. But when a "pipeline" of say 15 (5ish at a time) online people gets whittled down to 1 actual FWB over three months.... it seems like you gotta work the numbers. I feel like it should be easier than this, but maybe that's idealistic.

Are you guys going through this also?
