Secure Your Computer
You need to protect your computer before you start visiting dating sites and getting lots of email from dating prospects. I recommend a firewall and an anti-virus program. There are two free programs I recommend that will do the trick. The free firewall from Zone Alarm and the free anti-virus program from AVG.
Personal Safety
You need to take care that you choose safe dating sites. I recommend you use the ones you see advertised on TV. The reason is that if the company is making enough money to spend millions advertising on TV, they must be doing something right. Also, these companies vet both advertisers and users who seek only financial gain from using their dating service. You can also ask your friends what online dating service they used to find their spouses.
Remember, safety first. Protect your computer and yourself with the right tools and knowledge and you will have a fun experience.
With safety covered, I will now talk about how to build an online relationship. Online relationships need tending to if you want them to grow just like relationships offline.
1. Make time. Does your online date try to contact you on a regular basis? You need to do the same. Ignoring emails and chats is abusive. You need to treat each other with respect. If you see that respect is not there, you need to end the relationship.
2. Speed of things. Both of you should be on the same page when it comes to meeting. It is natural for a male to be a little more forward than the female when it comes to meeting. But he should not be too pushy about it. Neither should she. Being pushing gives off really bad vibes. There is no need to rush this. Spend plenty of time learning more about each other and developing trust.
3. Respect boundaries and privacy. Never share personal emails or photos with your other online friends.
4. Share both online and offline experiences. Online – send digital cards, website links, your favorite music and videos, pics of your pet, etc. Offline – send cards, postcards, and pics from your local area like a pic of your house, your car, the beautiful park across the street, etc.
Tend your online relationship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.
