Maintaining an Exciting Romantic Online Relationship
The internet offers endless possibilities to those who log in to it. One can find a myriad of activities that can be done in the World Wide Web. Research, downloads, online games, means of communication, etc. are just some of the great things that a person can do in the internet. Of course, one must not forget that the internet has already conquered the world of dating. In fact, several online lovers have ended up in marriage after being members of social networking sites.
Online dating was not embraced with open arms when it was first introduced. In fact, a lot of eyebrows were raised. Several people were skeptic. How can one love someone that he/she has not even met yet? That is one of the many questions that are swimming in a person's mind when online dating is mentioned. Not to mention the fact that there is a big chance that the person on the other part of the globe is just playing games. Indeed, online dating is something that is hard to accept immediately. Take note though that several couples have attested the success of online dating. It is just a matter of time before one sees his/her true love from the internet. Also, it can be said that is a trial-by-error type of experience. One has to learn from his/her mistakes. Eventually, finding the right person for oneself will be just around the corner. One should also remember that online dating can get quite as serious as relationships in the offline world. Commitment should always be present. Respect that the other person trusts oneself and that he/she should try to keep it. Sacrifices are sure to follow. Online dating is just like dating in the real world. Some people even think that online relationships are much more mature than dating in person. Not surprising, right? This is because it takes all of one's patience, trust, commitment, and determination to make the relationship work. One just has to find the proper blend of emotions so that the online relationship can work out.
Relationships, online or otherwise, do not start out the way it already is. It takes a lot of effort from both parties. And of course, romantic relationships start out from friendship. Seldom can one find a relationship that did not blossom from friendship. This is because everyone knows that friendship is the best foundation that any relationship can have. From friendship, trust is built. With one's friends, a person can be himself/herself. Of course, a person knows that being comfortable with his/her partner is a prerequisite in a relationship. One can just imagine how stiff the relationship is going to be if one of the lovers is not comfortable being himself/herself with the partner. Surely, that is going to put a strain on the relationship.
Usually, online love affairs begin through people meeting as friends in the internet. These meetings or encounters are facilitated by free social networking sites nowadays. By allowing individuals and groups to build their own network with their friends and other affiliations in it, dating and eventually, a romantic relationship are bound to happen. The requisite of profile creation is probably the next best thing in free social networking sites, as this becomes the primary basis of the modern generation, who are also site members, to start friendships, dating, or relationships. Women, who are mostly keen on starting romance on the foundation of a friendship, would definitely find these friend networking communities helpful in finding the right date. As it is, these sites are gaining a larger population for their members every hour of every single day. Anyhow, who wants to pass up an opportunity to meet a prospect, provided it is absolutely at no cost and is no doubt more convenient than one's regular coffee shop hangout? With these online networks, the development of meaningful relationships cannot be disregarded. Together with the profile creation, people can also see and know their way into each other via the writing of blogs and formation of personal websites or pages, where individuals can express freely their emotions, thoughts, and opinions. These internet tools are believed by most users to be useful in getting them the partner, perhaps one for life, that they deserve.
When logged on in free social networking sites, friendship is the safest way to go to get the person of one's fantasy. In this sense, online dating can be compared to what happens in real life; because a real friendship allows no pretensions, it enables two or more people to know each other's true selves. This logic may be enough to count friendship as the building block in romantic online relationships, just like in the real world. Couples hit it off when they are friends first and thus, whatever emotional or personality barriers that may have come between them earlier may be toppled over and forgotten. With friendship, couples can talk practically anything under the sun, from sensitive topics like sex and romantic experiences to life's trivialities like embarrassing moments. Openness, care, respect, and love are already given factors in friendship so even without seeing each other, couples could make their online relationship work for a long time and even bring it unto an actual level where they could make it last.
Apart from friendship, couples engaged in online dating and relationships should also maintain their bond through communication. It is not enough for love and care to sustain people who are romantically involved with one another in cyberspace. In fact, communication is needed more than ever, perhaps even more so in an online relationship because physical contact is absent. Free social networking sites offer various tools to keep people in touch with another. There are basic tools like message sending, which works like an email, and photo posting, which makes the
communication very much alive with visual additions. There are also video messaging, music attachment, and other sweet features like flower deliveries and smile sending, so that couples can make their communication more personalized and creative. Of course, couples have the option of trudging relatively conventional ways like snail mails, phone calls, emails, or e-cards.
However, if the person wants to communicate to a loved one in this modern day and age, using the email system is perceived to be the one of the most common and effective methods so far. Emails enable long messages to be sent, along with customizable graphic options, in an instant. For the female who wants to take advantage of these features in sending some love to her honey, it is recommended that a sweet and engaging mail is composed. Incorporate heartfelt and superlative terms to convey to a sweetheart that he is missed. Be affectionate and warm in the letter. It would be nice to also include funny anecdotes or stories to make the receiver feel that a lot of overwhelmingly good things are happening and that the sender is alright and sincerely open and willing to share it with him. Topics like shopping with girl friends, visiting a new salon, or buying an adorable puppy can make the correspondence lighter and at the same time, updated. Photo and icon attachments are also possible with email so that the communication becomes intimate enough to reveal what is going on in their own respective lives.
Aside from email, there is also the alternative of going online and engaging in chatting. Chatting on the internet can do wonders for online relationships because it entails seeing the person face to face through a particular set of media, the webcam and microphone. Web chatting has become more affordable these days, with the prevalence of web cameras in homes and internet cafes. Through this kind of online chat, couples can actually view each other in real time, just like being together with one another physically. They can laugh, smile, pucker their lips for kisses, or even do wilder, naughtier things on camera. If partners are content on seeing each other's faces and are more intent on being kept up-to-date with the goings-on in each other's life, they can literally chat and share stories and concerns over the computer while seeing each other's reactions. Of course, both individuals have to be available at the time of the chat. Chatting can be a problem when couples collide schedules with different appointments or time zones; thus, web chatting should take place on an agreed time and date, when it is most convenient and less distracting for the couples.
People who are in online relationships usually take a while before deciding to finally meet up. But that should not stop couples from expressing their love and concern for each other. Why not mail each other gifts or small tokens of appreciation while staying connected online? There are an abundant number of online shops to choose from and couples who know each other well would recognize what would send each other over the top, happy and crying at the same time because of the thoughtfulness and sweetness of such gestures. Females could order online and send something that would catch their partner's interests or make them really grateful of the gift -- for example, a watch, shirt, or accessories for their gadgets and even for their cars! If material gifts are not the thing, love letters and nice photos would surely break his heart, in a good way, though. Letters with attached poems or even themed music/songs brings back good memories and makes the person reminisce about the best things in the relationship. Letters and photos, both of which appeal especially to people who are geographically and virtually distant from each other, are actually good representations of the heart and soul and the receiver would really feel that he is lucky to be loved when there is time and effort in condensing thoughts and care into one package. A last resort to seal the deal could be food. The saying, “A way through a man's heart is through his stomach” is actually true. The woman could heed this advice by checking on him if he has eaten already and if he says “not yet”, then perhaps it would be nice to order online or through the phone and let the restaurant or diner deliver to him the food.
All these sincere deeds and gifts are effective ways in letting an online partner know how much care and thought are put into every effort and communication. It is best that these gestures not only transpire during special occasions or holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines, birthdays, or anniversaries. Even ordinary days are good timings for these small ways of expressing love. A person can take advantage of a situation where she and her partner are just doing their daily correspondence online and then she surprises him with a lunch meal specially ordered online and delivered to his work address. Thus, each day for the couples become extraordinary because of the way they sustain and value their online relationship. As mentioned, making these things more customized and according to the personality of the individual also earns enormous points for one as a partner. A shirt in his favorite color and brand, for example, means that the woman has invested some time in doing research in what the man actually wants or needs at that moment. Although, bear in mind that material things are not sufficient to keep the love alive and similarly, it is also important for the woman not to become too dependent on these practices as a substitute for the actual communication that should happen between couples. Men might think that the woman is just being too clingy or worse, too busy, to respond and continue their relationship.
Another method of keeping the romance in online dating and engagements is to do away with expectations. Any relationship actually has its flaws and online engagements are not privy to that. Though there are certain things that people have ideas about when it comes to online relationships, the experience of being engaged in one is really different from what one previously expects. The person may be too idealistic with regards to the characteristics she looks for in a date or the person may perhaps consider the relationship bogus. But as the cliche goes, no one in this world, real or virtual, is perfect. The setting may be unlike what people have been used to, with physical contact and all, but the emotions involved are real and that's what counts. It is just a matter of accepting those risks and imperfections in the system and in the person one is dating. When love comes around, there would be no telling who is hit by Cupid's arrow so just learn to deal and be open-minded about the whole online romance. Besides, true love knows no boundaries so whether or not the limitations are physical, technical, mental, or emotional, what couples in online relationships feel and aspire for each other would still prevail.
Love is also what makes the cyberspace world go round. Saying the three key words, “I love you” reinforces the feelings that couples engaged in online dating have for one another, plus it makes them realize that their emotions and entire affair is real. “I love you” should not just be heard or said electronically during Valentines season or other special occasions, but also in everyday moments. A woman could email or instant message her partner about the day she had and close the letter with a big “I love you”. Women should not be shy with their partners, albeit online, about expressing their feelings through these words. After all, an online relationship is a commitment and being in a commitment permits one to freely tell the person that he is loved and cared for. Repetition of these words also signify that the woman is sincere in the romantic deal and wants to make her partner as happy as ever, without sounding too mushy or too much of a turn-off. Because of the absence of a physical connection, “I love you” is best told and quoted as regularly as possible.
It is just natural for the topic of sex to come into play when engaged in online relationships. Communication is not just about the talking, chatting, and the letter-writing, but also about some demonstration and who says that the internet is a hindrance to not performing and enjoying a good sex? Ladies out there need not be shy and bashful when it comes to knowing what they want in sex. In fact, having no physical contact can even serve as a challenge as to how creative and motivated one is to pleasing her online partner and herself as well. Couples can start by sharing stories about sexual encounters, just to set the mood up for that kind of talk. Then, they can follow it up by telling each other their personal and private sexual fantasies. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that move because the internet allows for openness and how can a person convey to her partner what she craves for if she can't tell him honestly and directly? It is perfectly okay to be detailed about it because it is also one way of spicing up the flow of the online relationship. Couples can even use the internet phone and web camera to express better and carry out their sexual activities. All in all, the sexual anecdotes, history, and desires are all part of the sexual seduction that is perfectly healthy for couples engaged in online dating and relationships. Making online sex a regular routine enhances their online communication and furthermore, makes couples look forward excitedly to the time when they can actually see each other and bring to life whatever naughtiness they have in mind.
“I love you” is not the only clincher that would make the person's heart melt. A simple statement such as “I miss you” or “Miss you so much” implies tenderness and affection that every romantic relationship should have. Missing someone is not necessarily uttered and demonstrated because of the virtual gap between couples or the actual geographical distance they have; the statement basically means that they can't wait for the day when they would see each other again in cyberspace or even meet in the real world. By saying these words of care, online couples are feeling excitement and anticipation for the time that they would meet their mate. As such, couples who have online relationship make it their priority to be in touch in person. It can also be said that the personal meeting is the culmination of the online relationship couples have. It is important they look for ways to make their actual face-to-face encounter a reality, with much acceptance and love as they have experienced online. Over free social networking sites, chat, or internet phone, they can arrange for a certain geographical location and time when they are available to see each other. If individuals in the online relationship actually belong to different states or countries, set-up a destination and venue; book tickets and travel by plane or train. Another suggestion is to compromise and let someone, usually the man, to be the one to travel instead of having both couples meet at a particular place and date.
Indeed, there are no boundaries to what romance and love can bring. People can see that in this era of dating sites and online dating. There are actually so many sites like free social networking sites to choose from where persons can sign up and search for their dream date and partner. Aside from the business purpose, they share a common goal and that is to get the right people paired up. Although men and women have the option of buying the profiles of people they want to date, most of the sites offer the opportunity of meeting “the one” at no cost. Many have grabbed this chance and some have been successful while others are still on the lookout. When one is already deep into the online relationship, it is essential to take into consideration the present and the future of the bond that's why maintenance or nourishing is vital. In the beginning, the person has accepted the potential risks of getting into online dating. In the end, the decision still lies in the individual or couples involved. But then again, when true love awaits, why should there be any question at all?
