Online Dating: 5 Things you Should Know about the New World of Dating
No matter the way game of dating changes, we all look for the same things. True love, a meaningful connection, and a serious relationship are only a few of those things.
Today, this dating game is via online dating sites that have changed the way people approach the opposite sex and court them.
So, what is that you need to know about the new world of dating? Look at a few important things you must know about when thinking of long-term.
1. Mobile Dating is the way to go
Most of the dating sites today offer you the convenience of mobile apps which allows you to access all the features of the website on your smartphone at any time from anywhere.
We all have our smartphones in our hand almost every waking hour. Hence, it only makes sense that we can enjoy this dating game through our phones too. You can always have your profile active that can be accessed anytime. A popular dating site, Match.com has added the feature “missed connections” that notifies you when recently there was a potential match in your vicinity.
2. Women make first move too
In the traditional form of dating, we have learned a certain way to start the dating process. Usually, it means you see a woman that you are interested in and work up your nerve to approach and talk to her. Or maybe you couldn’t work up the nerve and simply sulk in the corner while another guy makes his first move. But it no longer works this way. A guy doesn’t make the first move anymore, a woman is as much forward today.
Women are no more hesitant to put themselves out there in the dating game and face the risk of rejection. Though you can still be expected to pay for your date, don’t be surprised if your date initiates for the night out. The world is changing after all!
3. Play the field
Back in the day, you would either meet someone through a friend, work or in a club. Because of limited options available to you, you didn’t dare miss even a single person. But no need to do so. With so many potentials from all walks of life, dating apps allow you to play the field a bit. Enjoy and have fun and avoid the fear of missing out (FOMO). Try not to focus only on the first person that you come across unless there is some spark and you feel a connection with him/her.
4. Texting is an integral part
With the availability of dating sites on mobile apps, the main form of communication is through text. The testing could be through Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp or SMS. Of course, you can still call her to have a nice long chat. But at the same time, you don’t need to create an outline of some great talking points in advance before that first phone call. It’s all simple now, just text her and see what’s going to happen. Many of online dating sites have texting options that you can try. Zoosk takes it a step forward by giving you the option to buy “Zoosk coins” and send a digital gift to the girl you are interested in.
5. No waiting
Gone are the days when you have to wait at least 48 hours to make that call. No more waiting! Just shoot a simple text within a few hours or the next day. You won’t look desperate, rather just interested in your date. Isn’t it simply amazing!
As we talked earlier, some things will never change. We all are looking for love ultimately which is the main priority since long and will always be. The change has only been on the way to pursue it and that is for good. Be true to your preferences, to your interests and yourself. But by adapting to this new world of dating, you up your chances of finding the perfect match and your happiness while having some great fun on the way to your true love!
