ONLINE DATING
Why You Should Meet Your Asian Online Date in Person
You’ve tried everything. From accepting your friend’s invitation to go out on a blind date, attending several social gatherings, to inviting an old friend to dinner — yet you couldn’t see even a tiny spark fly.
Sometimes, you feel desperate and ready to give up on love while there are moments when your inner Romeo starts screaming: Go on, fall in love and find a new direction.
Today, technology offers a myriad of opportunities and ways for the sake of finding love and being loved. Online dating is all fun and exciting until you can’t figure out if she is really into you.
Are you worried, scared, conflicted, or confused to face her in reality? You shouldn’t be!
Here are some reasons why meeting your Asian online date can be a relief:
To know if you’re into her and if she’s into you
Ask yourself, why are you into dating? Is it for fun? Is it to fill the void? Is it to eventually settle down?
Online dating can mean so many different things to different people, but knowing where your true intentions lie can help you propel your relationship to the next stage. Knowing if you’re into her and if she’s into you should be the first step to a successful relationship.
There might be days when you feel she’s the one, while there are times you seem confused to be with her. It’s normal to feel that way, especially in an online dating setup, considering you’re not physically together the entire time.
It might be easy assessing her looks by looking at a digital screen, but creating an emotional link requires physically being together.
Of course, who would want to waste time communicating with a woman in an opposite timeline only to find out that she’s not interested in marriage, right?
Now, how do you know if she is into you? There are plenty of things you can do to find out, and the most concrete one is to book a flight, pack your bags, and go meet her.
To know if it’s really her
Online dating has been a long-time trend and is currently becoming popular even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. With social and travel restrictions, men and women flock to different social networking sites, looking for an antidote to their lonely and empty hearts.
While Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tinder, Snapchat, Instagram, and Reddit are popular platforms to look for potential dating partners, there are plenty of risks involved.
For instance, it’s easy to get attracted by looking at her profile photo and reading some interesting info in her bio while forgetting that you haven’t met her in real life. She might say that she’s single and ready to commit to a serious relationship when in fact she might already be married. It’s hard to assume her status just because she said so.
If you’re solely relying on chats and emails as your way of communicating with her, you might run into some serious problems.
For instance, there are times that the woman you’re communicating with is a hacker who wants to take advantage of you. These fraudsters can easily send you malicious links that can steal sensitive data and info when opened.
Let’s face it, your online date might not be who you expect her to be. So it pays to be vigilant and certain that your online date is the woman in her profile photo and not some old bearded guy hanging out in his basement.
The fix: Ask to video call her on Skype or Messenger. If it’s for the first time, respect her decision. But if you’ve been chatting with her for a while and she still doesn’t agree to a video call, then that’s already a red flag. Besides, the best way to know if it’s really her is to meet her in person.
To build a physical space
One advantage that is highly regarded when it comes to online dating is that you can create an emotional connection with your date before meeting her offline.
It’s easy to flirt in the virtual space as you can easily create a distortion, a romantic idealization, and a perceived agreement between you and your date. You also feel confident, knowing there’s no pressure between both of you.
Establishing a physical connection with her will give you valuable insights you can use in getting your relationship to the next level.
Sit across the table from her when you go out for dinner, hold her hand while walking, and gaze into her eyes when she smiles or looks at you.
If you’ve already built physical intimacy with her, make sure to maintain it until she feels confident and comfortable with your presence. If you’re uncomfortable being together, then why prolong the relationship or even get married?
If you’re dating a foreign woman, building a physical space can be challenging as there are many obstacles along the way. The sooner you get on a plane and meet her, the sooner you get rid of those hurdles in your relationship.
To see if she is the one
One common thing behind every online couple’s failed relationship is that they never met in reality. Nowadays, most men are itching to meet their online date outside the digital screen to see if they are the woman they want to marry, to have kids with, and to spend the rest of their days with.
If you want to know if she is really the one for you, it’s best to meet and spend time with her as soon as possible. Get to know her, her family, her friends, where she lives, her language, and her hobbies and interests.
Immerse yourself in her culture and lifestyle to answer every question that’s stuck in your head. The sooner you do this, the sooner you know if you’re compatible with one another.
If you’ve been dreaming of marrying an Asian woman, distance shouldn’t be a problem.
