There are many people who feel that e-mail
will never have the warmth or the personal touch of the old-fashioned letters
and cards that people used to send through the postal service. That may be true
but e-mail has an advantage of the here and the now.
Because you are aware of the fact that the
person you are chatting is reaching out to you in the same way as you are
reaching out to that person, there is a tendency for an intimacy to build up
even before you know it.
The medium ceases to be the deciding
factor and when a person presses you for information which you have to supply
immediately you might let certain details slip out unless you are well
prepared.
You have to be on your guard all the time
and keep constantly reminding your self that the person you are chatting with
is, after all a stranger and a goodness-knows-what. The best thing that you
could do is avoid instant intimacy altogether.
It doesn’t really matter if the other
person finds you cold or reserved, you can easily solve that by telling the
other person that it takes sometime for you to become comfortable with a
person. That in fact is a good quality because it is as good as saying, “Well,
I’m sorry I’m not the loose kind who plays around.”
There is something that many of my readers
might want to know and that is how to find out if the other person is lying. As
I had told you earlier, the Net can be a very unsafe place and so we have to be
absolutely sure about the good faith of the other person before revealing any
personal details about ourselves. So the next part has been devoted
specifically for that.
4 Ways To Tell If Someone Is Lying
1.
As discussed earlier,
we are not going to resort to singles’ chat rooms dedicated specifically to
online dating. Instead we will be in chat rooms of specific interest. So one
very effective way of finding out if a person is lying would be to ask the
person very pointed questions about the area of interest. If the person
fumbles or gives vague answers then you do not have to waste your time on such
a person.
2.
Another thing that you
could do is that from the moment you first make contact, jot down whatever
details the person chooses to reveal to you and in subsequent encounters
nonchalantly question the person about the details, if there is a
contradiction in the two details then you can be as sure as pat that the
person is lying.
