Secure Your Computer
Make sure you have some kind of computer security before hitting the dating sites. You should have both a firewall and an anti-virus program for your email and when you browse the dating sites. A free firewall is made by Zone Alarm and a free anti-virus program is 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.
So take care. Arm your computer ” and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge!
Now that we have discussed security, let us talk about growing an online relationship with someone. Just like all your relationships with family and friends, online relationships need tending to grow over time.
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. Communication needs to “feel” right for both of you. If one of you is too pushy about meeting, for instance, that can give off bad vibes. So do not rush. Take time to learn more about each other and develop trust.
3. Respect boundaries and privacy. Never share personal emails or photos with your other online friends.
4. Share things both online and offline. Offline – send greeting cards, postcards, and small items from your area (like a picture of your state flower). Online – send greeting cards, links to your favorite websites, photos of your pets, and your favorite music and videos.
Tend to your online relationship like a seed. Put it in good soil, water it with care, and over time it may sprout and grow into a beautiful tree.
