ONLINE DATING TIPS: It's too much pressure! AAAAAAARGH!

Posted: Jan 26, 2010 |Comments: 1 |

Online dating should be fun right? You’re there, at home, listening to good music, browsing the web, and searching for a single man that matches your concept of perfect partner. But then you get popular, and everyone starts to send you e-mails and winks and scraps and whatever the dating service offers in terms of communication. And all of a sudden you start to go completely nuts, trying to answer all those guys, but there’s no time, because you have lots of other things to take care of, but you can’t let all those potential loves of your life down and then you just go “aaaaaaaaaargh”.

Yes, there’s a lot of pressure and stress in online dating. Especially if you let it take control of your life. Some women deal with stress quite well, and have their own ways of relieving the tension. But some other girls break easily under the pressure of meeting other people and flirting with them. In online dating, this pressure can be even worse since there are “oh, so many options!”

Well, if you feel this online dating thing is starting to get on your nerves, there are a few things you can do to acquire that sense of control and accomplishment that some people are born with.

The first one is getting away of your PC once in a while. Not to look for romance, because you already do it when you’re online, but to surround yourself with people or things you enjoy. If possible, try to surround yourself with both, a few times a week.


Take it easy on the chocolate. Coffee, soft drinks and power drinks should be avoided too. Stimulants cause anxiety, and anxiety is the mother of stress. Try eating other types of sweets, like a pudding or a good piece of apple pie. Researchers have found that stress levels go down when we consume sugar.

Put a few fun objects by your computer. Toys, puzzles, magazines and other objects will give you something physical to do and distract you a little from what’s going on inside the computer screen. Photos, movie posters, flowers, or any other thing you may like to look at will help you feel more comfortable, giving you that “this is my space” feeling.

If there’s something you don’t like, do it first. Saving the best for last is a good way to avoid stress. It’s because you start to see the things you do with pleasure under a new light. They will turn into a reward for all the hard work you’ve done earlier. And only start talking to your special someone once you’ve got rid of work, otherwise you won’t be able to give your honey bug the proper attention.

Exercise a little, if you have the time. Nothing dramatic, really. Just go for a walk or something like that. If you can’t get too far from your PC, just get up a little. Stand up for ten minutes or so, take a few deep breaths, take a shower, etc. Just “shake your booty” a little bit, and you’ll see you’ll really “like to move it, move it”. Besides, it will also reduce your stress dramatically.

Vitamin C is also very relaxing, because it reduces the production of stress hormones. Eat an orange, drink some orange juice, take a 200 mg. supplement, or eat other foods rich in vitamin C, like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, strawberries, grapefruit and cantaloupe. Heck, you should feel free to snack while online.

Put on some good music. If you like slow tunes, then that will be even more effective. Sing along, if you feel like. It doesn’t matter if your voice sucks. Singing relaxes the body and is also a great breathing exercise. You get two for the price of one.

And finally, do not, ever, under any circumstance, for no reason whatsoever, multi-task! Just stop multi-tasking right away! Too many balls in the air will make you dizzy and stress you out.

When you’re dating online, it’s important that you give your man all the attention possible. So, try talking to one guy at a time and focus on the conversation. Your potential dream guy will be very pleased. And so will you.

    Um, these are great tips for the FIRST stage of online dating... when things are still online. What happens when you start meeting these guys, and have too many good guys you're seeing? I don't feel bad until about the third date, but I have about 5 guys in the third date stage, and still some great ones online I haven't met yet? I have NEVER been popular in my life, so it's hard to quit, but it is a LOT of pressure. And none of my friends feel that I deserve any sympathy.
