Online Dating - The Power of Self Respect and Relationship
By: Anne-Marie RONSEN
Relationships of all kinds are often perceived as very delicate things, that require extra effort to maintain. However, a relationship can also be something that can provide security and can also be long lasting despite many trials.
Effective and efficient relationships require both, woman and man, to openly express their feelings and positions on all matters pertinent on the relationship. Assuming that the other person understands our needs and give us when we need it without asking for it is not a good practice.
Understanding the other parties' feeling and position creates an effective and efficient relationship. The easiest method to understand what is important to another party is to ask them what they want and listen to what they have to say.
Just like regular real-world relationships, online relationships need to grow over time. Here are some quick growing tips.

1. Take time and make time. Does your online date get in touch with you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other´s time with respect. If it´s lacking, might mean time to move on.
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 don´t rush. Take time to learn more about each other and develop trust.
3. Respect each others privacy. Don´t share personal email addresses or digital photos online, for example, if your online date sent you the information in confidence.
