How To Be Succesful With Relationship Online

      Dating online, or internet dating has grown the last few years due to advances in technology including faster internet,digital cameras, more internet sites etc. But what they dont tell you when you start dating is how to make it work. It takes a special person to be able to date on the internet. There are certain things that you must be able to accept in order to be successful. For example, you must know and be ready to deal with the distance factor.

     Whenever people meet on the internet there is always a chance that there is going to be a distance between the two people. Have you ever met someone who lives in your town, started dating, and then for some reason they move away, and you are forced to continue dating from afar. If you have ever tried it you know that it can be difficult. Trust issues began to develop: you do not know what that person is doing where they are and they do not know what you are doing where you are!

If your relationship is built on trust, or you have learned to trust eachother then this should not be a problem for you all but if there are weaknesses in this area then there will most definitely be problems. The way to counteract this problem is to allow the other person the freedom to "hang out" with other people. This does not mean that they can cheat on you it just means that they can hang out with people who are there with them.
     I know the question on everyone's mind must be: how can I allow my girlfriend, or boyfriend to hang out with other people and trust them enough to know that they are not going to cheat? Again this is something that you and your partner must decide with eachother. You both must decide what each of you considers cheating and what each of you expects, and what you will accept and not acept from the other person.
Another thing that often occurs with internet relationships is the intimacy factor, or lack there of in some cases. For exmple, some people crave intimacy from their partners, while othewrs do not require it as much. If there is a distance between you and one requires intimacy and the other does not this can cause a problem.
One way to counteract this problem is to alternate visits. Both of you are in the relationship then both of you should travel. Alternating travel also shows commitment by both parties. But if you are a person that needs constant intimacy then maybe an internet, or long distance relationship is not for you!
I have not included all of the problems amd solutions for internet dating because that would take more time then i have, but I hope that I have shed some light on these problems and hope that you, the readers, have found the solutions helpful!
