Rules of dating

How is dating in RL different from SL? and does it also change if you are gay or straight? being recently married to a wonderful man and looking back on my efforts to find that perfect someone, I came up with the most common mistakes done in the SL dating world and what to do to avoid them, hence getting you what you want.

Don't go straight to sex


As weird as it sounds, this applies also to SL and dating on the platform, sex you can get anywhere and with anyone, but if you want anything to lead anywhere avoid sex the first few dates at all costs; take time instead to explore SL together or do things you both will enjoy, discovering common interests can be fun too and will make sex a lot more meaningful and intimate.

Know your audience


Read the profile and plan what you are going to wear and say before you take him anywhere, profiles are there for a reason and most of the time, the info available gives you a preview of the real person and a few conversation topics to elaborate on.

Avoid the SL family


After the first date, most people are in a huge rush to introduce mr Right to their SL families, but that is one of the biggest no-nos; don't be in a rush to make things happen, if he is indeed someone worth going all out and sharing what you got with, there will be plenty of time to do the meet and greet or get him to mingle with your loved ones.

Don't make wedding plans


I see a lot often, more than it should and I find it worrisome, people go and jump the SL partner gun and organize weddings as if their lives depended on it with people they just met . In my personal opinion, marrying a perfect stranger only works in Asian countries and even in those cases there has been some profound interaction by at least the parents.

People and situations change so these advices are best personalized to you particular situation and if all else fails, just be yourself, take it slow and have fun, that always works 90 % of the time.
