Online dating needs careful attention to grow. Just like the real world relationship online dating also needs tending to grow the relationship over a time. Here are some tips for building a strong online relationship.
- When you are trying to make friend online avoid the classic A/S/L (Age Sex Location) question. Many people get turned off by this.
- Try to chat in a friendly tone and be jovial. Both men and women like light hearted partners.
- Find time to chat and talk to your online friend regularly. If you have fixed an online appointment, take it seriously and be there in time. I would suggest you to be online before your friend arrives and change your screen name to something like, “Waiting for ..(the name of your date)”
- Send her/him online greetings, special emails and messages. But do not forward junk mails.
- Respect the privacy of your date. Many people won’t be comfortable revealing their identity during the early stages of online dating.
- Don’t be pushy. If your date is not yet ready to meet in real life. Give her/him the reasonable time. Remember, good things come for those who wait.

Online Dating Safety Tips
- Create a new email address for your online dating adventure. Never use the existing email. You can easily sign up for a free email account at yahoo, hotmail or gmail.
- Join only reputed online dating websites. Check our recommended dating sites section for trustworthy dating websites.
- When signing up, always use a user name and password which is not related to your original name or email account.
- Make sure that your computer is protected with antivirus software and firewall.
- It is always a good idea to upload your photograph on your dating profile as this will bring 10 time more response compared to a profile with no photo. However make sure that you upload a photo which will not reveal your identity completely.
Hint: Chose a photo in which you are not facing the camera. Another idea is to upload a full size photo (small resolution) which is taken from a distance. While it will give a clear idea about your physical appearance it may not reveal your face clearly.
- Finally once you hooked up with some and decided to go for a date, make sure that you meet him/her at public place like a mall or a busy restaurant.
