As a related segment to the "uncoupled" series, this week's focus is on net relationships. Last week, the notion of cyber romance was introduced. The pros and cons were offered, along with sites for further tips and explorations. Now, let's shift from the prerequisites into the fun stuff — pointers for maintaining a "virtual" bond. Scenario: You've met a potential soulmate over the Internet; taken all the precautions; exchanged bios, e-mail addresses; and find yourself constantly thinking about this special someone. Now what? You want to keep this newly-formed relationship interesting and allow it to grow to its potential. Whether you've got a strictly cyber-sweetie or are entwined as a cyber-enhanced couple (meaning a real life relationship which is supplemented by the use of net communications such as e-mail, chat, etc.), this week's article will be your inspiration and resource guide. It would be wise to bookmark this one for future access.
