We all cherish unexpected tokens of love and appreciation that
are presented in relationships. When someone you care for goes
that extra mile to show you that they’re thinking of you
(and that you’re worth taking some extra trouble for),
often the result is a memory that you will carry for years to
come.
Romance in a relationship can infuse a bit of that early-relationship
excitement and keep things from becoming too “comfortable”.
The principals of romance can also be applied to online dating.
We have compiled some fun ideas for showing your online match
that you care! Just customize our ideas and make them your own
– we guarantee that they will be appreciated.
Send An E-Card
It sounds mundane, but timing and content are everything! E-Cards
are free and easy to send, and if they’re unexpected will
put a smile on the recipient’s face every time. Spend
some time thinking about your message and choosing the card
– you want it to express your special sentiment without
being too heavy (and scaring away your online date before ever
having a date!).
Pick a Poem
Lets face it, we’re not all poets. The good news is that
there are plenty of amazing poets out there already who have
written volumes of great love poetry. Even better, there are
websites that contain archives of some of the best poetry ever
written – take some time to choose one that really makes
you think of your personals friend and think about the presentation
(either on an e-card or use a graphic program, or even Word
to put it into a format that can be printed and enjoyed). If
you’re a poet, by all means write something – I
don’t know a cold soul who would not like a poem written
for him or her!
Make a Music CD (or tape)
My first boyfriend made me a tape of songs. It contained a collection
of love songs from Dire Straits and other bands. Ok, the thing
is smarmy, but I loved it then, and I still have it (almost
15 years later), and while tattered, it still makes me happy
to listen to the songs and remember what was beautiful in that
relationship. The tape still comforts me and makes me feel loved.
What an amazing gift that cost little more than time!
The bottom line is that if you’re dating online, you
can be romantic and make your match feel great for not much
more than the cost of your time. That’s what being romantic
is all about.
