Healthy relationships

Healthy relationships grow from honesty, respect, and small daily actions. Online dating makes this both easier and trickier—you can meet people outside your circle, but authenticity matters even more. Instead of sending a generic “hey,” try commenting on something specific in their profile to show you’ve paid attention. When chatting, don’t just talk about yourself—ask questions that invite real conversation, like “What’s the most fun trip you’ve ever taken?” rather than “How are you?” If there’s a misunderstanding in texts, clear it up quickly instead of disappearing. And when you feel the connection is real, suggest moving from chatting to a call or video date—it shows you’re serious. Love online, just like offline, is less about big promises and more about consistent actions that prove you care.
