Online
dating sites have become a huge business over the last few years for
many reasons. Some of these dates that come from online contact have
been very successful, even going on to culminate in a marriage while
others continue to be one
failure after another. Many people start feeling as if they
should just give up. But before you do that, consider that there are
some ways to tell if your online date might possibly be The
One.
First
of all, he�s not there one minute and gone the next. People online
can be quite good at vanishing. You can be in the middle of a chat
with him and he suddenly disappears without a word. There�s no
contact for weeks and then he suddenly resurfaces like he just talked
to you yesterday. If you�re chatting with someone that keeps up
frequent and dependable communication, it�s a good thing. They�re
probably not talking to anyone else and they�re ready to find
someone that will be important to them.
Next,
you both decide that you�re ready to meet at the same time. This
means that you�re both on the same page and you�re ready to take
that next step. There�s a great chance that, if you agree on when
you should meet, you�ll agree on many other things as well.
You
both start emailing each other regularly about little things that
happen throughout the day. Not only that, but you�re both thrilled
to get emails from each other. It kind of makes your day. This is
great because the majority of life�s little details aren�t
really all that important, yet you both love hearing about
them.
Another
promising sign is that both of you agree on how long someone should
be single following the ending of a relationship. The timing also
tells you how happy this person is with his life. A fulfilled person
won�t feel it�s necessary to jump right back into a serious
relationship, whereas an unhappy person will need to find another
relationship as soon as possible.
You
can share the serious aspects of your life and find humor in them. So
what if your dad can�t seem to keep it in his pants and cheats on
your mom constantly, and you have a cousin in jail for robbery? It
really has nothing to do with you. Someone that gets that and can
actually make you laugh about it is someone you definitely want to
know better.
Both
of you have the same ideas as to what a partner is. It doesn�t
matter if you feel that a partner should be a best friend as well as
a lover, as long as you both view it the same way, you should give
him a chance. Talk this over a bit so you can be sure you�re on the
same page.
Last
of all, you both decide at the same time that you can delete those
dating profiles because you feel you�ve met The One. This is,
possibly, the most important sign of them all. You�ve both reached
the decision that you only want to spend time with each other, and
what could be more perfect than that?
