Is it one, two, three
strikes your out in the internet dating game?
Are you
striking out when it comes to finding that special one in this crazy mixed up
world of online dating?
Here are ten
etiquette tips for dating this upcoming year which if you will follow will
hopefully help you fall in love.
One. Timely
respond to text, emails or phone call messages. If you really want to know what
the other person thinks about you, just gauge how quickly they get back to you.
You hold in your hand a cell phone which will provide you all the information
you need to determine if he or she is into you. Most people check their phone
every 6 minutes and the average text takes only 10 seconds.
Two. Communicate
your intentions. Let the other person know how you feel, what you want out of a
relationship and for goodness sake, be yourself. Don’t try to be someone you
are not, be honest and express yourself factually.
Three.
Don’t waste each others time, if he/she is not for you, move on. If you
don’t “feel it”, don’t try to fake it. Chances are it won’t “be there”. Know
your type and avoid people you know you are not drawn to. Chances are you know
what you like and what you don’t like, I suggest you stay away from what you
don’t like even though you may be attracted to them.
Four. Dare to care. If you care for
someone, show them, actions speak louder than words.
Five. Is it time to start going dutch? We
don’t live in the fifties any longer. Isn’t it time to start going dutch and
rotate date suggestions. The era of the fifties is over where a man asks out a
woman, the man comes up with the date idea and the man pays for the date. It goes both ways these days. We are all looking for equal partners, time
to step up your game.
Six. Texting is
not a relationship. So when did texting constitute the creation, forming and
building of a relationship? Texting is part
of a relationship, it is not the basis by which a relationship is sustained.
Seven. Spend quality time together. If you
desire to get to know someone, spend time with them, is that too difficult to
understand? It is not important what you do, but that you do it together. When
we invest time with one another, we are signaling we care about them and we
enjoy their company. It also signals that we are comfortable, feel safe and
secure and are interested in the other person.
Eight.
Don’t let fear, uncertainty and doubt stop you from making the first
move. When did you become so timid? If
you want to meet someone, don’t let fear stand in your way. In the old days, the man asked the girl out
on a date first. Being assertive is in!
It is OK if a woman asks out a man out on a date, makes the first move or signals
her intention – what ever happen to a sexy wink?
Nine.
Random acts of kindness go a long way.
Let the other person know you are thinking of them. Every one of us wants to feel special, that
we are thought of and admired.
Ten. Stop and smell the roses, don’t get physical too
quickly, you know what I mean. Need I
say more? Intimacy is special and should
never be taken lightly. So is kissing by the way. A kiss signals to the other person that you
are attracted to them. If you are not, don’t kiss them, it sends the wrong
signal.
Hope you
have a wonderful New Year.
