8 Tips To Help You Make Phone Dating Successful

Technology has completely revolutionized the way people interact and even date. You don’t have to be in the same town, or even the same country, in order to be in a relationship with someone nowadays. You can be on opposite sides of the world and still have a healthy and happy relationship.

One thing people are doing now more than ever is phone dating. Instead of meeting someone nearby they can get together with, they’re finding potential life partners via online dating sites and maintaining a relationship that’s strictly over the phone. They may potentially meet in person someday, but the majority of their relationship is phone-based.

Although those few things sound really difficult to get past, people do it all the time. They just know the secrets to making a phone relationship work that the rest of us are still clueless about… until now, that is.

If you’re looking to find a new way of dating, or your relationship has turned out to be only over the phone, this is everything you’ll want to know in order to make it work.

# Be clear with what you say

The biggest issues people face when dating is miscommunicating something. Now, if this is already an issue with people who date in real life, it’s an even bigger problem for those of you who are phone dating.

It’s really hard to imagine the way a person is saying something over text or picture messages, so it’s really important to make what you say clear enough. In fact, it needs to be more clear than you think it needs to be in order to avoid confusion.

# Establish a baseline of things to call about and things to text

There are certain times for texting things and certain times for talking about them over the phone. Talk about a baseline with your significant other so you can both make it work.

Sometimes there are things far too long to text, and this will take a lot of their time, and it can be a little annoying. So, make sure you both understand which types of things to communicate at what times.

# Learn each other’s schedules

This is going to save you so much anxiety and worrying. If your partner isn’t responding in a decent amount of time, it can throw you into a frenzy of anxiety. So, either communicate your schedule in the morning or work to memorize each other’s day to day lives so you know the best times to reach out if you want a response.

# Communicate changes in schedules or last-minute things

There’s really nothing worse than thinking your significant other is just completely ignoring you. When you know their schedule and they should be free, yet they aren’t responding to anything you’re sending them, it can be a little annoying.

Therefore, if you have a last-minute change to something that makes you unavailable, just send a quick text and let them know you’re busy and will explain later. It takes 30 seconds and will save a lot of angst.

# Video chat at LEAST once a week

You will probably do this more, but as a standard, you have to video chat at least once a week in order to keep that personal relationship vibe strong. Otherwise, you lose a really important connection that can make your relationship seem… like it’s not a relationship at all.

Set up a specific time to do this during the week and you can even coordinate “date nights.” This way, you’ll still feel like you’re connected to them in person even though it’s just over the phone.

# Try new ways of sexting

We can’t ignore the fact that when you’re phone dating, you’re not having sex. I know it’s probably going to be a hard thing to get past in the relationship, but there are ways of doing it.

All you have to do is keep it fun, entertaining, and passionate. Always try new ways of texting and having phone sex so it doesn’t always feel like the same thing over and over again.

# Be understanding

If you’re in a phone dating relationship, you have to be an understanding person. That’s just a fact. There will be situations that may seem sketchy, or you won’t be able to talk to your significant other for much of the day, and you have to understand that sometimes in your phone dating life, that will happen.

# Talk about it when you’re feeling disconnected

Although you’re always connected via your phone, you may still have times where you feel disconnected from them emotionally. Be sure to speak up during those times so the two of you can solve the problem.

Let them know when they’re being distant or when they’re not giving you enough of their attention during your conversations. It’s easily fixable, but it must be communicated before it can be mended.
