The 5 Things That Will Make Or Break It For You
There are 5 things that will make or break the relationship-building phase that you are in when you are dating someone. I would recommend that you go on at least three dates before you decide whether it’s breakup time or continue to date this individual:
1. Chemistry
Has there been a good chemistry between the two of you? Do you have many interests, values or ideas that are similar? If you have there is a good chance that you should continue to date this person.
2. Communication
Has the communication been easy between you? Has it been easy to talk about everything and changing subjects? If it has been so, it is clearly something worth to stay in touch with and continue to date this person.
Communication is one of the most crucial elements in online dating and yet it is by far also the most underestimated one since it is communication that builds relationships both friendly and romantic ones. I have written about it more extensively in a previous article on this blog.
3. Feelings and integrity
Do you get a nice feeling, enjoys thinking about that person or do you often smile when you are thinking about that person? Do you care for each other’s integrity too? Do you feel worried and wonder what the other person is up to when he or she is not around? If you do, you really should keep going on dates with this person.
4. Humour and sarcasm
Yes, it is a part of communication but if you have the same sense of humour this is something that can help you get through the difficulties that all relationships encounters, sooner or later it will happen and then humour can be a good way of shifting focus from the difficulties.
Now, I don’t suggest that you shouldn’t sort out your difficulties but maybe it’s better to do so at another time so that both of you could shift focus and collecting your thoughts about the difficulties. Maybe you can sort it out yourself or maybe you’ll need professional help but that is up to you to decide.
Sarcasm works just as good if both of you knows that it is sarcasm. I have myself found it to be difficult with some people while others have got it straight away. For this reason, I seldom recommend it since I don’t know you that much.
5. Trust, honesty and respect
Dating resembles a relationship in the way that if you trust and respect each other and are honest with each other about different things?
Then you really should continue to date this person since you do care for each other well being and you show each other respect for the other person’s boundaries and you are concerned about each other.
Trust is something that can’t be given right away but you have to deserve the trust of the other person and you will earn it eventually, then you will have mutual trust between the two of you. If this is the case you are starting to have a romantic relationship with that person.
Should You Continue This Online Dating Thing?
If you feel the way that the online dating website has provided good candidates for relationships but you haven’t found “the one” then you have to decide if you still will be looking for this love or find someone new.
I have listed a number of dating websites for your convenience in a previous article on this blog that you might want to have a look at or you might want to go to a search engine and look it up yourself.
Sometimes taking a break from online dating can be a very good thing too and just trying to do it the old fashioned way. It is totally up to you to decide what is right for you, nobody else can tell you this.
As always you should make up your own mind and if it feels right for you then it is and that is all that matters. It is your life and not the life of somebody else.
