Just like regular real-world relationships, online relationships need tending, to grow over time. People are turning to the online world, as it is a safer, and less stressful environment to meet people. You can actually get to know them before you meet the. With that in mind, 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 is the key in any relationship; without communication you cannot call anything a relationship at all so you need to build trust through great communication. If one of you is too pushy regarding the meeting between you two it might be a sign of disrespect. You should both take the time and learn more about each other and about your expectations.
3. Respect the other's personal information and don't share it with other people. If your partner is sharing digital photos with themselves, email address or other personal information, respect their privacy and don't give that information to others.
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).
The things above are just some ideas about what you can do with your partner to improve your online relationship. Make sure that you use your intuition and trust your gut feeling to avoid any risky situation with strangers.
Tend to your online relationship, just as you would with any other relationship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.
And, doing this online is a good way to start. Especially since it can widen the number of people you have the same interests with. You can now meet people world wide if you choose. This will also help you grow.
