Meeting Others Through Online Dating Services
Dating services, especially those online, are a good way to connect with other persons for friendship and dating purposes. Through a dating online service you are immediately able to network with hundreds of persons via e-mails, chat rooms, video and audio recordings, and later telephone.
Keep the Date Simple
Once youve found someone through a dating service that you would like to meet in person, setting up a first date might be in order. Because this will be your first meeting, keep the date short and simple. One or two hours in duration, at the most.
If the two of you hit it off, you can always extend your time together. However, if sparks dont fly you avoid the uncomfortable situation of having to suffer through a longer, more involved date. For instance, instead of eating out and going to see a movie, choose one or the other.
Your first date should be one where the two of you have the opportunity to talk and get to know each other better. A noisy, distracting environment such as a party or dance might not be the best choice.
Instead, make plans to meet at a restaurant, or even a coffee house like Starbucks. Trendy and fun, with a casual atmosphere that is relaxing and conducive to easy conversation.
Until you know for sure whether the two of you like each other in person as much as you did online, avoid sharing your address or personal information such as where you work, etc. Arrange to meet at a public place, each providing your own transportation.
Take Precautions
There is always the chance that the person you came to know online misrepresented themselves. Therefore, inform friends and family members about your dating plans.
Tell them who you are meeting, and where. Also mention the name of the dating online service where the two of you met, the persons e-mail address, telephone number, etc.
Reputable web site dating services such as All Link.com provide restrictions and guidelines for your benefit online. But when it comes to meeting someone in person, it is your responsibility to be prudent.
While chances are the date will be enjoyable, the need to ensure personal safety make taking precautions essential. You may have been honest in representing yourself online through the dating service. But you wont know for sure if your date did, until after the two of you have met.
BONUS : Meeting Someone Through Adult Personals; Your First Date
Lucky you, youre making plans to meet that special someone, encountered online through adult personals. Youve emailed, shared in chat rooms, and talked over the phone several times. Now you are ready for the next step
your first date!
The First Date with Someone Youve Met Online
When making plans to meet for the first time with someone youve met online, keep it simple. You want to plan something low key so the two of you have plenty of opportunity to talk. This is because you need to be sure the attachment felt through adult dating personals is as close face to face, as it was online.
Chances are one or both of you traveled a distance in order to meet. Something relaxing, then, is in order. Below are several ideas for first-time dates that are simple but fun, and allow plenty of time for eye contact and sharing:
Something as simple as a late afternoon stroll through a park, hand in hand, feeding pigeons and doves while sitting on a bench, can be surprisingly relaxing. It also provides ample opportunity to talk. If things go well, top the evening off by renting a classic movie; something romantic. Watch the movie by candlelight, eating pizza and sipping wine.
What could be more relaxing or romantic than a late night picnic, gazing at the stars? The perfect setting would be a balcony, or backyard patio fenced for privacy? If you live near the coast, a picnic on the beach, a lit pier, or onboard a boat would also be fun.
Remember, the idea is to make use of every minute alone together. You dont want distractions or crowds to rob you of the chance to get to know each other better.
Testing Compatibility
If things go well, you can always plan something more exciting for your next get together. But, this all important first date should be reserved for the purpose of becoming better acquainted and testing compatibility.
Store browsing at a mall is a great way to test your compatibility and discover mutual interests. What types of books are of most interest, what hobbies are shared, what tastes in furnishings, and what about styles of clothing? These things and more can be discovered as the two of you stroll through various stores, sightseeing.
By keeping your date simple, focus is kept on each other. Providing the opportunity to determine whether the two of you connect as well in person as you did through adult personals online.
