FROM
THE EDITOR
Welcome to the second issue of the weekly Online Dating Newsletter. Every Wednesday,
a new issue of the Online Dating Newsletter is emailed with the latest relationship
and online dating tips, advice, and news. It is our goal to present ideas that
will help build better relationships and concepts for improving your online
dating experience.
When I first
got into online dating several years ago, I met a gal
(we'll call her "Ann") who had mastered
the art of being genuinely thoughtful. I remember that
early on in our relationship I was planning a long drive
from California to Idaho to visit my aging grandmother.
Ann knew I was doing the trip alone, so she set out to
make the journey a fun one. How?
The day I left,
Ann presented me with six wrapped gifts and a note of "instructions".
She had invented a travel game where she calculated that
during my trip
I would have to fill up my gas tank six times. Each time
I stopped at a gas station, I was to open one of the gifts
she had given me. Each gift somehow related to our relationship
and there was a self-addressed stamped postcard in each
gift with a kind note and a question. At each stop I was
to answer the question (about our relationship) she asked
on the postcard and mail the postcard to her. For each
question I got right, I got to keep the gift I was given.
This one thoughtful game made that road trip the best
one I had ever had in my life. There was the continual
anticipation of what would be next and my entire trip (all
16 hours there and 16 hours back) was spent thinking about
her and what an amazing person she was.
Being thoughtful moves relationships to new levels and
makes experiences unforgettable. It's something every couple
should have the pleasure of experiencing.
Best wishes for dating and relationship success,
