How to successfully date girls from the screen to the real world

There are certain universal rules when it comes to dating. These rules, although widely known, can be difficult things, particularly 'newbies' in love interest seeking can do. But don't be discouraged if you are one! It all comes down to what works for you. All people have fears, insecurities, and quirks, which is completely normal.

 To attract 'The One,' you must overcome these obstacles and go for that golden ticket – a perfect partner! Maybe their accent is too thick, or they don't know enough about your culture. Or maybe they seem too good to be true! Whatever your reason, doing homework before a commitment is essential! Here are eight tips on how to successfully date a girl you've known via internet:

Get to know her first

This is the most important tip of all! You don't need to know your potential partner's whole life story to relate to or get along with them. But you need to deeply get to know the person well enough to strengthen your newly formed bond especially because you only knew them on the internet. This may be a way to give and gain trust with one another.

This may take a while if you are not comfortable with people or have trouble interacting. But, with time, you'll get it! If you need help figuring out where to start, try to note questions that may be asked on your date. Ask them about their likes and dislikes, and then consider those things when talking to them in private. You'll notice that you'll start to form a stronger connection the more you get to know someone the 'old-fashioned' way – by talking to them!

Avoid Partying for your First Date

This may be random but this is important to take note of. Partying is not a good idea when setting a first impression. Yes, there will be times when you're in a celebratory mood and want to let loose with your date (don't forget to order the coffee, by the way!), but most of the time, people and particularly girls can be uncomfortable with a wild crowd, especially for a first date which was supposed to be personal and intimate.

Set a good example for your partner, and don't let your date down! Not to mention, you'll probably end up drinking too much and doing things you don't want to do. 

Always be Nice and Considerate

You have to start the courting process by being nice! While it's true that being courteous is a quality that all partners should possess, it's even more important when it comes to dating a girl. You have to be as nice to her as you would be if they were a friend or family member. 

Yes, it's that simple. You have to make your girl's first few interactions with you as pleasant as possible and show her that you're interested in more than just talking. You have to make your date expectations minimal, so she will have a much easier time bonding with you and getting to know you better.

Go for a Walk or Sit and Talk

When you've got out of your online love story and gone on at least two dates in person dates and gotten to know each other well enough, you can start looking into watching a movie or going out for a more intimate setting. But, before you do that, you have to talk to your date about what you like to do and what they like to do. 

When you have only recently met someone, you want to get to know them by talking to them about what they like to do and what they enjoy. Afterwards, you can take that conversation differently and start discussing more personal topics like your interests. This way, you'll be more prepared for when you can spend time doing things you both enjoy!

Treat Her with Respect

This one goes hand-in-hand with getting to know the date from the internet well. You may have cultural and belief differences with them if they are from a different country. With that, your initial impression should be respectful. This will give them more enthusiasm to get closer to you as you show acceptance and understanding of their beliefs and upbringing. 

This is also not only to show off but is a must to maintain a healthy relationship in the long run.

Maintain showing Kind Gestures

There's no shame in asking someone for a date and being too nice to pay for it. Who will pay on a first date is a non-stop debate – show your girl date that you know how to treat a person equally or specially by paying for your dinner or half of it!

For some, it's traditional for a man to pay for their partner's first date. For others, the one who pays is the one you're dating. When you pay for a date, you show her that you care about her and respect her. You're also showing her that you have the money to pay for dates, which is often a good first impression.

Exert Effort in Adjusting and Adapting

Dating a girl you've known from the internet can be hard when you are not inclined to adjust to the differences between you and your date. Your initial impression upon getting to know each other online may differ from when you finally meet them in person. With that said, despite all significant gaps, it is best to exert effort in adapting or adjusting, especially as early as your process of getting to know each other such as your first date. This will give you an insight into how your relationship will work out in case you'd decide to pursue each other in the future. 

Conclusion

Dating a girl you found on the internet such as on dating sites or random chatting sites can require a lot of effort. Long-distance relationships (LDR) may also be considered if they are far from you. Personality and background checking may also be important for safety reasons. If all this work and adjusting is too overwhelming for you, it will be best to think things through before running into a commitment. It is important to be ready mentally, financially, and physically before entering any relationship.
