You
started online dating to meet a woman.
Now it is time to meet your online match for the first time. Meeting her in a
comfortable environment is your best strategy for transitioning to a
relationship in the real world.
Meet As Friends
When it comes time to meet your online match in person, meet as friends. Don’t
go to your first meeting with the idea in your mind that she is The One or might
be The One. That puts way too much pressure on your first meeting.
Meet At An Agreed Place
When your match has decided that she is ready to meet you, let her pick the
place to meet. This allows her to choose a place where she will feel
comfortable. She may ask for some guidance and making a few suggestions is fine.
You might also want to give her a few no-go places if you don’t enjoy a
particular type of food, but you should try to be flexible. Unless one of you is
driving a long distance, I would try to make the meeting fairly short. Meeting
for lunch, coffee or dessert all work well since none implies huge expectations.
Dress Casual
I would suggest you discuss with your match dressing casual for your first
meeting. I think that helps everyone to keep their expectations in check and
promotes a friendly, comfortable environment to explore the possibilities for
romance. Your focus should be on one another, not the clothes that you each are
wearing.
Have Fun
When you finally meet your match, relax, be yourself and have a good time. You
will look your best with a smile on your face.
Send An E-Mail After Your First Meeting
If you had a successful first meeting, before you go to bed, send her a short
e-mail saying that you enjoyed meeting her in person. It is a nice way to let
her know that you are interested and it is the best way to help move the
relationship forward.
Transitioning To A Real World Relationship
Meeting your match for the first time is a big step in transitioning you from an
online/phone relationship to one in the real world. It still may be awhile
before your match feels comfortable enough to give you her phone number so that
you can call or her address so you can pick her up for a date. That will come
with time, try to be patient and understanding. Patience might get you
somewhere, impatience won’t get you anywhere. |
