Just as with normal real-world relationships, online relationships have to be tended and to be allowed to grow over time. Here is some quick growing advice:
1. Take Time and Make Time: Does your online date email you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered not nice, so treat each other’s time with respect. If it’s lacking, it might mean that it is time to move on.
2. Communication Needs to “Feel” Right For Both of You: If one of you is becomes too desirous about meeting up, for instance, that can create ill feelings. Therefore, please, don’t hurry things; learn to take your time and develop trust in each other.
3. Respect Each Other’s Privacy: Don’t show the other person’s email addresses or digital photos to your friends, for example; especially if your online date emailed you the information in private.
4. Share Special Online and Offline Enjoyable Times: when online: send online greeting cards; links to favourite sites to upload digital photos of your favourite pet or car; download music and video clips; post on favourite forums of interest. When offline: if you’re exchanging addresses or post office boxes, send printed greeting cards and postcards and/or small items from your area (like a key chain with your state motto).
5. Share Recipes: People get tired of just talking about the weather, so a very popular subject to turn to is food. Sharing information about favourite foods and recipes will break the ice and even help create a friendship; talk about your culinary skills, or the lack thereof, and preferences. Search online for free recipes to share and take photos of your culinary creations and share them with your online friend too.
6. Bidding at Auctions: Ebay auctions sell just about any and everything. So, look around and enter searches like the dates you were in middle school. Share nostalgic memorabilia of old games and toys and TV shows from when you were young or when your parents or grandparents were small.
Online dating should be an educational and fun experience. So, go on, take the time to learn more about each other and have fun while youre doing it! Take a cyber-stroll down ol’ memory lane together and see what’s cookin’. Look after your online friendship, water it with care and over time it may sprout and grow.
