Modern technologies significantly expand our capabilities. So in the sphere of relationships there has been a breakthrough with the spread of Internet dating. Previously, people could find friends or their soulmate only from school, student circles and those who live in the neighborhood. With the advent of the Internet, more and more people are solving their problems with finding partners through the World Wide Web, and it has long turned into one of the effective ways of dating (see statistics on the Internet). One of the cornerstone questions that faces virtual acquaintances is the transfer of communication from the virtual world to the real world. It often happens that they communicate by correspondence - and everything is wonderful, mutual sympathy and understanding, but the matter does not come to a meeting in real life and/or is postponed again and again. Of course, there are people who prefer communication in the virtual world to communication in the real world, but today we are not talking about them, but about our loved ones. How to deal with your own experiences when you don’t know how to behave when you meet or even when making the first phone call? How to not to disappoint your virtual interlocutor and not to be disappointed yourself? After all, everyone has their own image of a partner - and what if your or his image turns out to be far from the ideal that was pictured in the imagination? Let's start with the important, but not the most pleasant for everyone: with a reminder that we are responsible for ourselves , for how communication will work out in real life. And here, 50% of the meeting is envy from you - and 50% from your partner. Analyze your past meetings (not necessarily over the Internet) to see if there are repeating moments in them. If everything goes according to the same scenario every time, then this is probably your contribution. With such “input” it is more effective to work with a psychologist, but you can figure it out yourself. Remember, it is useless to expect a different result if the actions remain unchanged. If you want a different result, change your actions. So, you realized that the future of your relationship is primarily in your hands and in the hands of your partner - we move forward to a real meeting further. Next - naturalness and ease of communication. When dating virtually, there is a temptation to pretend to be some other person, to play around, to show off. Do you like to dance? It doesn’t matter whether you love it or not, it’s important to do it naturally. The main tenet of dance therapy: be yourself and open up in movement. Sometimes people come to dance therapy who dance terribly ugly. There they are taught to dance from the heart, forgetting about evaluating themselves and how it looks. It’s amazing, but when these people start dancing and stop thinking about how they look from the outside, they start dancing amazingly beautifully! Do you understand me, how to behave on a first date (and not only)? Then let’s move on to the date. In the end, I want to tell you the easiest way out (especially for the smart-lazy ones): don’t delay virtual communication. We exchanged a couple of phrases, realized that it seemed normal - and exchanged phone numbers to call, chat a little and arrange a meeting. Fortunately, buying a “specially trained” SIM card for such purposes, which is easy to refuse, block and not use anymore, is available to everyone.
