Growing
Online Dating Relationships
Just like regular real-world relationships, onlinerelationships need tending, to grow over time. Here are some quick growing
tips.
1.
Take time and make time. Does your online date get in touch
with you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be
considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other’s time with respect. If it’s
lacking, might mean time to move on.
2.
Communication needs to “feel” right for both of you. If one
of you is too pushy about meeting, for instance, that can give off bad vibes.
So don’t rush. Take time to learn more about each other and develop trust.
3.
Respect each others privacy. Don’t share personal email
addresses or digital photos online, for example, if your online date sent you
the information in confidence.
4.
Share special online and offline fun times. Online – send
greeting cards, links to favorite places to upload digital photos of your
favorite pet, download music and video clips, post on favorite forums of
interest. Offline- if you’re exchanging addresses or post office boxes, send
print greeting cards and postcards, small items from your area (like a key
chain with your state bird).
Tend your online relationship. Water it with care and
over time it can sprout and grow.
