Dating has never been simple, but it used to at least be a bit simpler than it is nowadays! While you have always had to contend with trying to assess the presence of any chemistry, figuring out how to approach other singles that you are interested in, and picking the perfect spot for that all-important first date, a number of other possibilities can both assist and complicate the dating process…some say unnecessarily so. Let’s talk about some dating techniques that you may not have considered before and decide whether they are worth the effort.

One thing that many people on the dating scene are doing these days is using text chat to keep in touch with men or women that they are interested in. Even with seeing each other regularly and talking on the phone often, you may find that there are times that you want to exchange a quick message or two. Text chat allows you to do just that, and has really integrated itself into the dating world as a regular thing that people do when they start seeing each other.

If text chat doesn’t sound very convenient to you, you at least will probably be open to mobile chat, which is often more accessible simply because people always seem to be carrying their mobile phones with them these days. It is so simple to make a quick phone call from, well, anywhere that we often forget what it was like back in the days when we didn’t have a phone in our pocket or purse at all times. Mobile chat has definitely changed dating, because it means you are never more than literally an arm’s length away from the ones that you care about the most, including the person that you are dating.

So, between text chat, phone chat, social networking sites and all of the other options that we have to keep in touch today, you may be a bit overwhelmed at times, but you can’t deny that it is easier to stay connected to others when dating. Also, it’s not as if you are committed to having to use all of the options available to you to communicate, so if you don’t prefer to use some of these methods, you certainly do not have to. After all, these options are there to make dating easier, not more complicated!
