Online Dating Relationships and Romance

Online dating relationships and romances require just as much if not more effort to succeed than their real world counterparts.

By design, the internet is an anonymous and impersonal environment. It was, after all, designed by engineers for use in academic collaborations.

The hardware and technology has advanced to the point we can have visual or text chats that are almost in real time BUT the intimacy and warmth of human emotion, body language and personality gets diluted if not completely lost.

Here are a few things you MUST remember if you want your budding relationship or romance to grow and thrive.

1. Make a time commitment. Everything worth having in life requires a certain amount of time and effort before the desired results start to manifest. Both you and your prospective partner must accept this and be willing to invest the time needed to see if you are right for each other. You’ll start off exchanging emails, chatting within the dating site, using instant messaging clients, video chats, and more before you move forward. If you miss a scheduled virtual meeting, you’d better have a very good excuse just like you would in the real world. You cannot hope to build a relationship or romance unless you show you respect their time as much as you value yours.

2. Communicate. Don’t just talk about things on an agenda like you would in a business meeting. Your virtual get togethers should be as free flowing and wide ranging as a real world date once you get past the dance to get to know each other enough to feel comfortable lowering your guard a little. Trust will come IF you give your relationship enough time to develop. If either party is pushing the other to move faster than they are comfortable with, it may be a danger sign you should pay attention to.

3. Respect each other’s privacy. If and when you give your picture, email address, phone number or other personal information to someone, you expect that person to keep it private unless you give them permission to share it. They deserve the same level of privacy from you. Do NOT violate that trust.

4. Share your virtual world with each other. Ecards, online games, your favorite websites, digital photo albums, forums, blogs, websites and 3d worlds are just a few ways you can share your life and learn about your partner. The internet allows each of us to do many things which lets us share our uniqueness with the world or just with someone special. Use this special medium to get fully comfortable with each other before deciding on a real world meeting.

Online dating relationships and romances can happen but you must treat them with the same faithfulness and loving care you would your lawn or garden.
