Questions to Ask Your Online
Friend(s)!
Online dating can be very entertaining and gratifying.
Since its inception, online dating had continuously brought two people together in spite of the fact that they
may be worlds apart, with lands and waters separating them.
However, if you have met someone that you really would like to get
to know seriously, there are questions you need to ask, early! Online dating is a continuous, systematic process
that entails messages, pictures, and representations of the person involved in order to get the best results. Moreover, from the time they get to find somebody they think they are compatible with, the process continues as they get to know each other through a series of messages, chats, and other forms of communication.
Along with this comes the very careful selection of words and images used to
build a positive online image.
It is extremely important
to also get to know the person underneath the image -- to know which questions to ask
to get a better sense of who the other person really is on the other side of the virtual screen.
Here are some of the questions that one should ask
an online dating e-friend once the contact has moved past the
casual. These questions help to assess the personality and the attitude of the other person
and provide a feeling about the other person's dreams, preferences,
convictions, interests, and commitments. Keep in mind when asking
these questions that they should appear natural so that they will not confrontational.
The point is not to take an online friend through the "third
degree." It should be like the face-to-face conversations we used to
have (just kidding).
Don't forget, your
friend may turn around and ask you the same questions, so be
prepared!
Ask your online
friend: 1. "What is the
worst thing a person could do in online dating?"
Why? This will give you an idea whether you and your friend are
online for the same reasons. They may be thinking "marriage," while
you are just looking to have some fun. Of course, you could come
straight out and ask them but online dating, and the internet in
general, have trained everyone for the sound bite. Once the tool of
television performers, even your local accountant has his "bite,"
for certain questions. 2.
"What are you looking for in a guy/girl/man/woman/lover?"
Why? Several things
are accomplished here. You make the other person verbalize what it
is he or she really wants out of this online dating deal. You may
even help them realize that they are in it for different reasons
than they have been telling themselves, and you! 3.
"What is a really successful relationship?" Why? With this question,
you can get a good view on how the other person values relationships.
generally. It would be better to hear the other person provide an answer regarding how the two persons who are involved in the relationship should work together as they grow and have a better sense of personality.
You may open a squiggling can of worms as well as that person
proceeds to tell you what a loser his or her ex-spouse or partner
was. Better to hear it early! 4.
"What is your view on online dating services?"
Through this question, a person will be able to know if the other person had some serious negative experience concerning online dating or the other way around. In addition, through the answers of the other person, one could guess if he or she considers online dating
a real and valid source of serious relationships, or if they are
just playing with it, like a video game.
5. "Did you fail on your last relationship?"
Most people would certainly blame the other person in the relationship. Others blame their selves too much. It would be better to hear some answers like they (the couple) equally share the blame and that it is just time to part ways.
Broken relationships challenge the good humor of the most cheerful
of people, so do not be too hard if a hard answer comes out on this
question. You should be concerned, however, if your online friend
sprouts fangs during their answer. If anything is going to make a
mask drop, it is going to be the "failed relationship" question. The point in asking these questions is
not only to get to know facts about the other person, but also to establish a foundation
for what kind of personality with what kind of attitude the other person has. It is when keeping
with open communications.
Mature people may
have problems with this thing of the questions, for two reasons: 1)
we are still holding on the our desire for privacy online; and 2) we
do not want to be rude. However, this same maturity will make at
least somewhat more difficult to find the type of person that we
really, really like because we are old enough to at least we know
exactly what that type of person is. Not asking questions early is
just asking for trouble down the line. Boiled down, asking
gentle, reliable questions will make for much more solid date, or
mate!
