Just like with regular off-line friendships, online relationships have to be tended and to be allowed to grow over time. Here are a few fast growing tips:
1. Take Time and Make Time: Does your online partner email you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting to get in
2. Communication Needs to “Feel” Right For Both of You: If one of you is too pushy about organizing a meeting, for example, that can create ill feelings. So, please, don’t rush things; just take your time to learn more about each other and develop trust.
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 confidence.
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 tree).
5. Share Recipes: People get tired of just discussing the weather, so a very popular subject to turn to is food. Sharing information about favourite foods and recipes will get things going and help create a point of reference; talk about your favourite cuisine and preferences. Do a search online for free recipes to share and take photos of your culinary creations and share them with your online date as well.
6. Bidding at Auctions: Ebay auctions sell anything and everything! Therefore, surf around and enter searches like the dates you were in high school. Share nostalgic photos of old games and toys from when you were a child or when your parents or grandparents were little.
Online dating can be an educational and fun experience. So 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’. Tend your online friendship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.
