With the help of Match.com or YahooPersonals you make a love connection. Before you know it, without warning, you’re caught up in the whirlwind of cyber romance. You’ve been swept off your feet! It happened so fast, you didn’t see it coming. You’re in love! So how do you know you are smitten? Here are seven tell-tale signs to prove it.
1.You can’t wait to turn on your computer. Its all you can think about. You might even be tempted to make a virtual visit to you online lover while at work – just a click and you are there, but you regain your senses and realize that work is neither the place nor time to engage in conversation with your online love connection.
2. Other activities take a backseat. You find yourself spending more time in front of the screen and less time doing things you used to do, like spending time with friends or engaging in hobbies.
3. You dress up for your cyber-date with as much excitement as a young girl going to her first prom. Even when there is no camera, dressing to impress him and using a touch of your favorite fragrance makes the occasion feel romantic and special.
4. You find yourself doodling when you should be busy with more important things. Your doodling is not daises and stick people, but like a love stricken teenager you are writing your first name with his screen-name.
5. You think about him all the time. No matter where you are, you can’t get him off your mind. What is he doing? Who is he with? What is he eating for dinner? Is he thinking about me? What will it be like to finally meet him? Is he to good to be true?
6. You want to know as much as you can about him. So you do some detective work to try to find out more about him, all the while hoping and praying you won’t learn about some deep dark secret or skeletons in his closet.
7. You are disappointed when you don’t hear from him when you think you should. You waited patiently all day to get home to your computer. He is not available or not responding, fueling feelings of disappointment and uncertainty. Yet you hope, doubt, pray, wait, and click, there he is, your virtual romeo. You breathe a sign of relief picking up the chat where you left off, exuding all the confidence of a woman self assured, maybe even playing a little hard to get… if he only knew.
