How to Maintain and Strengthen Online Relationships

Online Relationships are interpersonal relationships that can include intimate relationships between two people who have met online. Most cases of online relationships develop even without actual face to face interaction between the two parties. Many think that online relationships are the modern twist of the old school Pen Pal system, where people write to each other and send their letters via snail mail.

Online relationships are very real. Thousands of online couples became actual couples after dating online for a couple of weeks or months. There are even studies conducted by some psychologists that prove that dating in the internet and building an online relationship can really work.

Here are some tips from Asians Beauties to help you strengthen your Online Relationships.

Acceptance

You must accept your partner for who he/she really is. Many online relationships involve two persons that belong to different countries, religions, race and culture. These differences are one of the common reasons why many relationships break up. If you truly love your partner, accept her/him for what he/she truly is and ask him/her to do the same. Understanding is the most crucial key to make an online relationship work.

Honesty

Being honest is also important in every relationship. Since the relationship was founded online, it is better to let your partner really know the real you. It would not hurt to tell your date of your age, past, personal history or educational and professional attainment. Most ladies, particularly Asian ladies, would appreciate it if you would also tell them whether you used to be married or if you already have kids.

Regular Conversation

Since you can’t see each other in person, it is best to set a daily chat or call schedule to keep both of you somehow involve in each other’s life. Free some time, at least an hour a day, to talk to your partner. When calling her or chatting with her via web cam, try to focus on you two and leave the distractions of work, studies, financial problems and others aside. Using Skype or MSN are cheap alternatives to expensive overseas calls, plus you can get to see her live via webcam.

Surprises

Keep the relationship more interesting by giving each other surprises. This can be anything from sending out cute picture messages or sending romantic videos during times that she/he does not expect. You could also purchase some items online such as flowers or chocolates and send it to her. Buying online can save you a lot of money as compared to sending those things by yourself from your own place or country, plus they can be delivered faster to your partner’s house.

Play online games together

Playing video games are great bonding moments for partners. There are a lot of online games that you can choose from. Facebook and other Social networking sites have lots of online games that can let you compete with or each other or let you cooperate as a team to accomplish a certain goal.

Do not forget special events

Relationships blossom whether online or not by celebrating special days and celebrations together. Hence, it is important to take note of special events such as birthdays and anniversary. Being in a different time zone is not an excuse to miss out special events. If you are terrible in remembering dates, subscribe to an online calendar and set it in such a way it will send you automatic reminders on upcoming special events.
