How to Make the Move from Online to a Real Life Date

One of the issues with signing up to dating sites like maturesforfuck is that singles can quickly get used to how convenient it is to use this method. If your only previous experience of searching for partners has been hanging around in singles bars or crowded nightclubs, the ability to interact with like-minded individuals from the comfort of your own home can become quite addictive. When you connect with someone on a dating site it can be difficult to relinquish the ease of online communication and transfer your connection to the real world. Here are ways to accomplish this.


Ensure you are honest from the outset


A key aspect of dating services to bear in mind is that these outlets are only intended to provide an introductory platform. The ultimate aim should be to transfer the chemistry you’ve created online into the outside world. Never embellish your background details, or lie about your achievements. Be upfront when compiling your dating profile and upload a friendly - and recent – photograph of yourself. When you eventually agree to meet in person, you don’t want to faze your prospective partner by suddenly appearing to have aged 10 years compared to the virtual version they have been visualizing for some time!


Plan your first date carefully


Even if you have been getting on so well with your online partner that you couldnt imagine anything possibly going astray during your first liaison, there is still a lot of scope for things unraveling. It would be quite disastrous to arrange to meet them in a crowded social arena, especially a bar or nightclub liable to be full of other singles clamoring for attention, or pestering your partner when you are otherwise occupied at the bar. Arrange your first get-together in a more secluded location, so that you can get to know each other with friendly conversations that don’t have to be projected at top volume.


It pays to have some kind of long-term aspiration


It might seem negative to consider every outcome of your first offline encounter, including the possibility you might not get on. However, being realistic and prepared for every eventuality will help you get over any disappointments. It is often the case that people who gelled on a dating site fail to rekindle that chemistry during their face-to-face liaisons. Always have a Plan B to fall back on - the beauty of online dating is that an alternative arrangement is never far away. Rather than homing in on one favored single at the outset, why not contact several likely candidates before narrowing them down over time? To use a fishing analogy, anglers catching multiple fish in wide nets have a higher chance of landing their ideal specimen than a guy with one hook at the end of his rod!


Make a positive impression


When the time comes to enjoy your inaugural liaison, keep your conversation upbeat. If your date has turned up looking as if they’ve spent some time with their appearance, make appropriate comments to let them know this has been noticed. As you chat together, frequently drop compliments into what you are saying. Better still, unleash your inner flirt. This will not only break the ice, it will create the favorable impression that ensures your potential partner feels comfortable enough to say ‘yes’ to a follow-on date. If you have any particular skeletons in the closet, such as a recent spell in rehab or a toxic ex-partner who is still hanging around, keep these to yourself until further down the line.
