Online dating has one really great advantage over the meeting someone for the first time off-line, i.e. on a street (bar, museum, party, wherever). In dating on web you already know something on the person you are about to meet. This is especially important for those of us, who are shy. It is easy to beat the fear of rejection, when you already made some steps.
First exchange of emails, online chat and maybe even phone talk will let you make the first moves, which will pass you over that initial barrier. So you are there, but still, everything you will know about your online partner is just visual, textual and audio (perhaps) info, which this person found appropriate to be passed to you. Only real date will help to fill all blanks.
The key to successful internet dating is ability to decide whether it is time to meet him or her in person, or quit the exchange. Trust your intuition. If you feel that the meeting is acceptable and you want to see that person, do not delay with the meeting. Too long delay can cause your on-line relationship to dry-out and die.
Actually, initial exchange must give you enough material to decide whether this person is interesting to you and you want to go further, or, opposite, you dont need to continue. In the latter case you need to quit the exchange asap, too lengthy online flirting leads to the following problems:
1. Keeping online exchange with a person who is not too interesting to you may create a lot of confusion on the other side of the line. Perhaps, this guy or girl sitting in front of another monitor is contemplating some plans on you. It is not fair to give him or her false hope that this virtual connection may be materialized into something more substantial. It is hard to say no sometimes, but this is exactly the case when saying no is better, than getting yourself dragged into an endless and useless connection. Besides, the better you know the person, the harder is to end the virtual exchange with him or her. So you better do it as soon as you feel it, do not let yourself a second thought, and do not give him (or her) a second chance: just move-on!
2. If you have delayed the real meeting, you are giving a chance to your imagination to fill the blanks. Idealization will take place, and imagining the partner as a better match will substitute your judgment which could be based on actual experience from live meeting. Such idealization can lead you to certain problems in the future, in case if the real person when materialized will not fulfill all expectations and virtues, which you have given to your imaginary friend.
Savvy users of online dating are getting from Internet a preliminary selection of suitable candidates, the rest happens in a real world. For your own goodness as well for the sake of your partner you have to decide after initial exchange of 2-3 messages if you want to continue with meeting in person, or quit this contact and keep looking further. If you have decided to continue, best would be to meet your virtual date face to face, before your imagination will take over. Dont let this to happen, set a date without delay!
