When we want to grow a relationship, it does not matter if it's online dating or a regular one.
Here are some quick growing tips.
1 - You have to invest time.
Does your online date get in touch with you regularly? And you also make that effort? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other's time with respect.
The more you have contact, online or offline, the more you will like each other.
Just like in a regular relationship, if you don't have the habit of speak with each other maybe you should consider meeting other people.
2 - Communication must be natural for both of you.
If one of you is too pushy about meeting, for instance, that can give off bad vibes.
So give it time.
Enjoy the other person but respect her or his pace about proximity.
Take time to know more about each other and make your trust grow.
3 - Respect the other person's privacy.
Don't just provide your phone number and email address right at the beginning.
That advantage of the online chatting and other online resources to know more about the other person before you give her or him your contact information.
4 - Enjoy special online and offline moments.
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.
Try to get to know the other person as much as you can.
About Photos - a simple way create an image of you as a couple is to create an online album.
You can publish your photos and create some that is yours.
Additionally, you can include digital photos and videos of your favorite places, animals, nice moments or your personal things.
Then you'll even have more to discuss during online dates via emails and chat rooms.
Search for "photo albums" to find places that store your photos.
Offline - when you trust each other enough to share addresses you can send small items that you like.
This way the other person can grab something yours which makes the relationship more real.
If you live near each other meet in person and do something like having a coffee in a starbucks and get to know each other even more.
About Greeting Cards - Mailing a greeting card is always a good option to mail.
If privacy and security is an issue, check into renting an inexpensive P.
O.
Box (check the Yellow Pages).
Making something as simple as a personalized greeting card would be very appreciated and show that you care enough to make something yourself.
You can also buy something cool or funny to send.
It doesn't have to be expensive.
When you know someone online you have to develop the relationship before you can start a regular relationship.
If you start your relationship online you have to let it evolve naturally until you grow the trust in each other and meet personally.
