Just like with normal real-world friendships, online relationships need to be tended and to be allowed to grow over time. Here are some quick growing hints:

1. Take Time and Make Time: Does your online date email you often? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered rude, so treat each other’s time with respect. If it’s lacking, it could mean that it is time to move on.

2. Communication Needs to “Feel” Right For Both of You: If one of you is too pushy about having a meeting, for instance, that can create bad feelings. So, please, don’t rush things; just take your time to learn more about each other and engender trust.

3. Respect Each Other’s Privacy: Don’t share the other person’s email addresses or digital photos with your friends online, for example; especially if your online date sent you the information in private.

4. Share Special Online and Offline Fun Times: when online: send online greeting cards; links to favourite sites to upload digital photos of your favourite pet or car; download music and video clips; post on favourite forums of interest. When offline: if you’re exchanging addresses or post office boxes, send printed greeting cards and postcards and/or small items from your area (like a key chain with your state bird).

5. Share Recipes: People get tired of just talking about the weather, so a very popular subject to take refuge in is food. Sharing information about favourite foods and recipes will get things going and help form a point of reference; talk about your favourite cuisine and preferences. Do a search online for free recipes to share and take photos of your culinary creations and share them with your online friend as well.

6. Bidding at Auctions: Ebay auctions sell just about everything, don’t they? There you go then, look around and enter searches like the dates you were in high school and share nostalgic photos of old games, toys and TV shows from when you were a child or when your parents or grandparents were small.

Online dating can be an educational and fun experience. So learn more about each other and have fun while youre doing it. Take a cyber-stroll down ol’ memory lane together and see what’s cookin’. Tend your online relationship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.
