Online dating relationships need time too

Written by admin. Posted in Relationships

Just like regular real-world relationships, online relationships 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.

    I thought that was really helpful. Thanks for the cool content. I’ll keep checking back on this.

  2. Our natural instinct is to want to help a loved one or a friend deal with a break up. It is very hard to just sit by and watch anyone suffer at a time like this. The key is knowing whether you are in over your head or not. If the depression continues to worsen for them they need professional help. The sad part about depression is that it takes away our ability to think rationally. People just don’t see any hope for their lives.
