Modern technology and the passage of time has taken us far from the rules that our grandparents subscribed to when it came to wading through the dating pool. Parent-approved pair-ups have given way to speed dating, handwritten declarations of love have been replaced by quick text messages, and even long hours on the telephone have evolved into chatting via the Internet.
Save the important stuff for face-to-face conversations.
Texting and email are convenient ways to catch up, make plans—but not the ideal venue to talk feelings. Break-ups are difficult enough; adding that extra cold-hearted element of doing it over the phone just makes it all the harsher. On the opposite end of the spectrum, moving forward with a relationship is something you’ll want to discuss in person—without body language or being able to read a person’s facial expressions, parts of a conversation can be easily lost or misread between the lines.
Take things with a grain of salt.
Whether you’re fresh off a blind date and are waiting for a second date invite, or are deep into a month-long relationship, it is important not to let yourself be overtaken by emotion. Throw in the foibles that come with modern technology, and it is easy to get caught up in dating drama that you’ll find was not at all necessary after all. No reply after a text message you sent? Don’t fret and just call. Ignored on Facebook chat? There could be a million valid reasons why. Find out why with a clear head.
Take your time.
Quick fixes have become a staple of modern day living. Fast food, fast Internet, instant messaging—these everyday essentials have wired us to expect quick, sometimes premature results. Relationships can sometimes be built in lightning speed, but most of the time, it takes a slow burn to come up with solid decisions and results that make sense over time. Resist the urge to fast track, respect your partner’s pace (and your own), and savor the small moments.
