Dating Tips for E-relationship

By Madhu Babu

When it comes to dating over the internet, there are lots of risks involved due to non-physical nature of the whole thing. Unlike regular dating where you meet the person on your date and have physical interaction and conversation face to face, having a e-relationship brings a whole new set of challenges and rules. Since you don't get to meet your date in person, there is no telling how true your date really is.

Other major challenge of dating someone with whom you are having a e-relationship is the distance and miles of space between the partners. This throws all the traditional dating out of the window and gives you an opportunity to explore new ideas and ways to date someone over the internet.

Dating Tips for E-relationship

Even though you don't get to make physical contact, with all the technology, you can still make the date feel intimate and real.

When you are having an e-relationship with someone, there is no rule to keep it virtual forever.

Over time, after getting to know the person well enough, you can choose to meet your partner at a suitable location that is convenient for both or if you have grown close enough you can go over for a surprise date sometime.

There are lot of fun ways to date someone with whom you are having an e-relationship. It could be both virtual as well as real.

Set aside time
Set aside dedicated time for your online partner. Be it phone calls, video chat, online chat etc. Since this is the only way to interact with your partner, make sure you have time to know the person and strengthen the e-relationship.

Different chats
Nowadays there are tons of ways to communicate online. You can explore different modes and platforms to interact with your partner to keep things interesting and have chance to explore each other in different ways daily.

Face to face
Unlike real time relationship, e-relationship cannot get physical dates. However, you still can choose to have face to face chat using video chat platforms like skype or facebook video chat. It adds depth to your e-relationship and bring about lot of intimate closeness.

Online games
This is a fun way to connect and date online. Playing simple and fun games are a way to connect and bond with your e-relationship partner over the virtual world. You can play social games together or more complicated war or racing games that suit both your tastes. Options are endless and fun limitless.

Online date
Well this might sound crazy but you can virtually date your e-relationship partner over the internet. There are lots of social media games and applications that allow you to get your virtual characters to date in virtual locations that are in a way more exotic and intimate than real world locations. You can even choose Alps for your date.

Take it forward
When you think it is time to take things forward from virtual world to real world, you can have a real-time date in real world for a change. Since distance is a problem, you can select a location that is equi-distant to both of you for convenience. This will be a major step forward in an e-relationship, hence it is to be taken when there is utmost trust and comfort between the partners.
