Establishing and Growing Online Dating Relationships – Tricks and Tips
Well, boys and girls, it’s spring time! Love is in the air! Let’s put away business for few days and talk about something different… about Online Dating! That’s not another marketing or online business technique, just dating… Online Dating!
Online dating can be fun. But don’t neglect safety and common sense when you try to hook up with a mate. At minimum, take caution in the following areas. -
Protect Your Computer
Take care of your equipment and systems before you head out into the Internet realm. You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):
Free Firewall Download: ZoneAlarm www.zonelabs.com
Free Anti-Virus Download: AVG Anti-Virus www.grisoft.com
Protect Yourself
Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service. How? Begin by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which places they recommend. In addition, search “online dating services” and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place. Try only those places where you feel safe. Avoid the others.
So take care. Arm your computer – and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge! Now you should feel safe!
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.
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.
And let the Love is with you!

Well, baby Doll Silvia, it’s not like I’m in love, just want to bring something fresh and new to our blog!
As I say – everything can happen. I think it’s possible to find love online, cause when you chat you’re talking on different topics and not about wheather or something stupid, that’s why you have opportunity to know more about your relationship-partner, I guess
awesome post, well done Zakk. I heared about your blogging… said you do SEO too. Is it truth? That’s great profession, you made the right choice!
There is a good online dating tip I want to tell you about. Hope it’s not a problem if I post it here…
After you are past the initial small talk with a woman, ask her, “What are the biggest mistakes guys make when dating online?” Listen carefully to her answers. She’s going to tell you a lot about herself and her views on men in general.
This always works, believe me!
thanks,
John
Good tip, John, really good, heard of it! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I do SEO too Andreas. Are you SEO engineer? I got certificate few weeks ago
