Making Dating Online Work For You

One of the easiest ways to keep a relationship healthy when dating online is simply to communicate openly and honestly with your partner. There will be times that someone will read your message differently to the way that you meant it – the best way to avoid this is to reread your message before you send it.

When you read it back, try to think “could this come across differently to how I mean it?” – are there any ways that you could make what you’re saying clearer? Sometimes it’s easier to rewrite the message to make sure that it’s clear to your partner too.

Communication is the Key

Of course, the easiest way to get around messages being misunderstood over text is to avoid having conversations over a text message. When you call or video call someone it makes it easier to communicate clearly without being misunderstood.

Additionally, when you call someone of talk on video chat it shows that you care and you think that the other person is worth your time. Texting takes a few seconds, whereas when you call or video chat you can’t multitask – you have to take the time out of your day to sit down and spend time with the other person.

Show Her How You Feel

The ultimate way to build and maintain a healthy relationship when online dating is simply to show that you care. You could send your partner a gift – it doesn’t have to be anything big, but just something thoughtful that shows you care and you’re thinking about them. You could also simply show that they mean a lot to you by giving your time – that could be a phone call, a video chat or simply messaging them to say good morning.

Dating online can be tough, but as long as you’re willing to put in the time and effort it’s not going to be difficult to maintain a healthy relationship in the long term. Have fun, take time to show that you care, try to make them smile and be clear in your intentions.
