I could bet money that many singles are planning to travel
this weekend, as well as over the next few weeks especially, not just to see family members.
They are traveling to meet someone that they connected with over the internet.
While the world wide web has provided an “information superhighway,” there is not yet a way
to make in-person meetings happen any faster. To accomplish that, one of the two people involved
have to physically get out a suitcase, pack it up, and hop into a car, train, bus or plane to physically
meet the person they’ve only met virtually.
I decided that over the next few weeks, I’ll devote some of my blog postings to address different
aspects of long-distance dating and relationships. I will present strategies that can be utilized by a
conscious dater on how to turn a virtual liaison into an actual relationship. Of course, I would love
to hear some of your experiences with long-distance dating, and I can incorporate them into these
postings.

So to start off, I’m going to present a brief recommendation for singles who are already
using internet dating as a way to meet their eventual life partner. It’s this: don’t be afraid to
expand your geography when doing your searches! For example, if you live in Portland, Oregon,
instead of plugging in the zip or area codes of your city and others within a 50 mile radius
only–EXPAND it to include Spokane, Seattle, and even San Francisco! By using this approach,
you will undoubtedly increase the number of people to meet. And by dating virtually first, you
can then determine together how you’re going to meet actually. I think that it’s important not
to assume that the one having expanded the geography in the first place would have to be the
one doing the travelling. Since people in relationships share, this is yet just another area in
which you will can communicate and negotiate.
