LIFESTYLE<br />
idea of what the person is like.<br />
If all goes well, it becomes time to meet. You’ve both<br />
agreed that you are interested enough to meet, so I suggest<br />
going for a walk or on a coffee date. Make it short for the<br />
first date in case it becomes clear quickly that you’re not a<br />
match. Go somewhere quiet where it’s easy to talk. Be sure<br />
to have their contact information with you so if there is a<br />
mix-up you can call them.<br />
Remember to be smart and meet somewhere safe. Also<br />
be careful about how much personal information you<br />
share, because there’s always time for that if things get<br />
more serious. Trust your intuition if something doesn’t<br />
feel right and excuse yourself from the situation.<br />
Don’t stand the person up. If you change your mind, be<br />
polite and message the person and tell them. Be honest<br />
and don’t keep them hanging on. Treat people as you<br />
would like to be treated. We are all way past mind games.<br />
If you like the person but there were no sparks, they<br />
simply may not be the one, but they could become a<br />
good friend. Keep that option open because they may<br />
feel the same. Be open to talking about it. It is nice to<br />
have a friend to do things with. My husband is still<br />
friends 13 years later with two women he met online,<br />
and they are now my friends too.<br />
I highly recommend online dating. I would not have met<br />
Edward had I not given it a try. Be smart, be safe, be<br />
yourself, and enjoy the process! And don’t be offended if<br />
someone doesn’t respond, that’s just how it works.<br />
Give it a whirl!<br />
