IM, Voice Chat and Webcam Dating Tips Many of us consider those far beyond our immediate area for potential partners. This means meeting fairly quickly is not practical so we have to accept electronic communication as our only way to interact in order to see what develops. The discussion about voice chat versus IM in yesterday’s thread brought up the point of comfort sometimes being a factor in people shying away from speaking and I thought I’d share some ideas I’ve found extremely successful in helping crossover from written correspondence to voice and webcam interaction quickly in a fun and relaxing way. 1. Play games – The two main IM services have games such as checkers, pool, etc. so you can say Hello and get to know each other with less pressure to converse by getting on voice chat/cam and playing a game together. It’s almost sure to bring a few laughs if you’re a good sport. It’s not about skill; it’s about fun! Of course, there are other games as well, but if you’re playing those, I’m thinking you’re probably not so shy and needing to ease into conversation at that point! 2. Go surfing together – It can be a lot of fun to wander around Alt or the internet in general. You’ll get to share favorite places to visit, various interests and talk and/or laugh about the things you see! 3. Take a trip – If you download Google Earth or use Yahoo Maps, you can take a trip together telling the other person how to navigate to your favorite spots or your hometown etc. This can be so fun to share your knowledge of a particular place or show them some points of interest in your area. You can take them on a trip as well as send images you find to show detail, for instance, I can send great photos from my city if I’m taking them on a tour of Chicago. Whether, you both decide to have lunch in a Paris Café, Pasta in Piza, teriyaki in Tokyo or take a walk on a nice beach somewhere it’s bound to be a fun way to relax! 4. Watch a movie together – If you both have or rent the same dvd, it’s amazing how closely you can get the timing and actually watch the movie together just checking in with each other to make sure you’re in sync. One way to do it is to both use headphones so the sound tracks don’t conflict. You can talk if you both enjoy this during movies. Of course, talking is unnecessary and you can enjoy just the sense of being together. 5. Have dinner together – Alright, this one’s more of a challenge. Seriously though, just whipping up a little snack in the kitchen and bringing it out for your new friend to view is not such a bad second to dining together. It’s the thought that counts. 6. Get naked – I knew you thought of this one first so I only mention it to show you where your mind is at! I don't think you would've read one through five if you're already doing this. So perverted, you should be punished for the thought. I'm going to get my paddle right now! LOL The point is just to find ways to be together where you don’t feel you have to converse every second while you grow more comfortable being with the person. Relax and have fun with it. The only limit is your imagination! Please add some of your own ideas if you like or share your feelings or experiences about this too.  |

Some wonderful ideas! For games I think hangman would be a fun one too if you both have a webcam. Favorite quotes, books, etc. It is a fun, slightly silly way to get to know each other without being stressed. If you both happen to playing games, playing an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game)together is always fun as well. Second Life, Rappelz, Anarchy Online etc are all free and it gives you an idea of how each other responds to group situations (Do they "play well with others" lol)and ones that are slightly difficult(Second Life and Rappelz are harder to figure out at first). The most important thing about all of this is that while you are getting to know each other...make it so you can just relax and be yourself. I've never tried MMORPGs but they sound interesting. I may have to go check them out one of these days. I so agree; it's all about relaxing so you can feel free to be yourself.

kat, co-surfing and link passing is always fun and I love your elegant Beaujolais/Pachabel party idea as well as the way you set times to do things simultaneously with your King making time for each other. How lovely.
