Start Flirting 
Growing Online Dating 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.
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.
