Having Fun with Online Dating

While finding love is definitely something you should take seriously, you’re going to get a lot more out of your search if you can learn to have a little fun along the way. Without wanting to sound like I’m ranting; there are far too many people who get uptight about their search for love and see it more as a chore or race to get to the alter by a certain age. Dating shouldn’t be about finding someone—anyone—as quickly as possible! The journey to love should be as fun and enjoyable as love itself! That’s why I’m here to teach you about having fun with online dating.

Having fun with online dating won’t only help you to enjoy the process but it will also help you find love. When you come across a member online who you’re interested in and would like to date, you can pretty much kiss your chances of a love connection goodbye if you’re going on your date with unrealistic expectations and putting pressure on your date to be ‘the one’. No one enjoys spending time with someone who is uptight or pushy. The most that you should be expecting from your date is that they be respectful and that the coffee is good—that’s about it for the first date. If you go in expecting an instant relationship or violins and movie romance then you’re doomed for disappointment. Your date will feel the pressure whether you voice it or not. And, how can you relax and really have fun if you’re trying to force things along? Your date shouldn’t be about making something happen but rather about enjoying the moment and the company.

Having fun with online dating is also about enjoying meeting new people. Yes, if you’re looking for something special then you should try to connect with people who you really believe that you’ll click with, but don’t expect it to happen with the first person you meet. Line up a few dates and enjoy the experience of making new acquaintances and trying potential dates on for size. Have a laugh, make jokes, keep things light and enjoy the moment. Choose places to meet that you enjoy, like your favorite cafe that’s ideal for people watching or even an arcade! Being able to really relax on a date and share a laugh makes for a great date whether things move forward with that person or not.
Online dating is what you make it so do what you can to make it fun for you and the people you go out with.
