A lot of experts say meet asap. I would say though that since women are emotional creatures you can get them in an semi EA just by texting with them for a week or so before you meet. If the attraction is mutual when you meet then it is a done deal with her because you already have her emotionally hooked.
The downfall is that you run the risk of wasting time texting and/or you kill the attraction by being too available or by running out of things to say. If she is really into you though I don’t think any of it matters. So it depends on the woman.
