Online Dating, AFTER THE DATE

So you made it through the first meeting. Now what? Do you want to see that person again? Does he or she want to see you? A good indication that the other person wants to see you again is if he or she calls two or three days after the date or sends an email.
You can also call or send an email two or three days after the date if you want to see that person again. But wait a couple of days after the date to contact the person again. If you call or write immediately after the date you will look needy.

IF YOU BOTH WANT TO MEET AGAIN
Success! You have now entered your first relationship that came from online dating. If you both liked each other and felt some chemistry then you should start dating. You might want to put your profile with the online dating service on hold while you date so that you don’t get any more people trying to contact you while you are in a relationship.

If you think that the chances of meeting someone that you will want to have a serious relationship with online are slight, think again. Millions of couples all over the world have gotten married to someone they met through an online dating service. You can indeed find a great spouse and partner through online dating.


IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THAT PERSON AGAIN
It can be hard when you don’t want to see the other person again. Maybe you didn’t feel any chemistry or maybe you just didn’t like the person after hanging out with him or her for awhile. For whatever reason, you have decided that you don’t want to see that person again, but that person wants to go out with you again. Now what do you do?
Your first instinct will probably be to just block that person’s email address and delete their phone messages without listening to them until he or she takes the hint and goes away. But that’s the coward’s way out. The other person will be able to see that you are still active on the dating site. He or she will know you’re avoiding them.
You need to be perfectly honest with that person and tell him or her nicely that you don’t want to pursue a relationship with them. It can be hard but you owe it to that person to be honest and respectful. Send a polite email explaining that you didn’t feel any chemistry and don’t want to pursue the relationship. Don’t just ignore him or her.
