Cons
Dishonesty

Online dating advice
1.Communication is very important
“I understand that life can get busy and you are not always available for a chat. Try to find some time each day and talk to your partner for at least an hour. Update them on how your day is going during your lunch break, bus ride, bedtime, whenever. Without proper communication, it is impossible to make any type of relationship work.”
2.Remember all the important dates
“Keep in mind, or even better, put down your partner’s birthday, anniversary and any other important dates in your calendar. There are also tons of different mobile and computer apps where you can store such information. Remembering this information is crucial and shows that you really care about your partner and your relationship.”
3.Organize Skype or Facetime calls
“Organize a time when the two of you would have a Skype or a Facetime date, any app that allows a video chat option works. In an online relationship, since you cannot see your loved one in real life, it is essential to see each other at least through a video chat. This way you will not forget what the other person looks like :D”.
4.Be there for your partner
“ Life has ups and downs, there will be sad and happy moments in your lives. Make sure you are always there for them when they are going through a difficult time. Even if there are hundreds of miles between you two, a simple call will show your partner that you care and want to help. Do not forget to congratulate your loved one on their achievements either. By being there for one another, your relationship will become stronger and happier.”
5. Be romantic
“Send your loved one a bouquet of flowers or a cute gift. Do not wait for a special occasion, just send it on a random day to make them smile. It is the little things in life that matter the most.”
6.Do activities together
“Find something both of you like and do it together. It could be watching a movie at the same time on Netflix or playing an online game together. Doing some activities together will make you closer and also gives a lot of topics to talk about it. I and my girlfriend enjoy cooking the same recipe and updating each other on our progress. Afterwards, we have a romantic dinner over Skype”.
7.Talk about future
“Talk about your future with your partner. Depending on the stage of your relationship, it can be anything for the first visit to moving in together. Let them know that you want them in your life in the future.This way, your partner will know that your intentions are serious and will motivate both of you to continue dating.”
