Contact Etiquette
When You Meet Someone You Want to See or Talk to Again
by
Have you ever met someone and wanted to see him again?
Or talk to her again? When you first meet someone and
are interested in connecting with her again, how and
where do you try to contact her? How and where would
you like him to contact you?
Contact information etiquette is essential if you date
once in a while or are actively dating to find your
ideal mate.
Consider these things:
- Do you want someone you just met to have your home
phone number? Office phone number? Cell phone number?
- Do you have an alternate voice mail number you give
out to men or women you meet and start dating?
- Is it okay with you to receive calls at all hours of
the day and night?
- Is it okay with you to receive e-mails at your place
of business?
- Do you have an alternate mailbox or e-mail address
for personal/social contacts?
- Do you have any concerns inviting someone you just
met into your home? Home neighborhood? Office? Office
neighborhood?
- Are you welcoming of someone you just met or are
getting to know dropping in on you at home? In the
office? Calling you anytime the mood strikes?
Think about these things carefully. Talk to your
friends and family members about the whole area of
contact information etiquette. Are there any behaviors
that you want to add to my list for yourself?
Decide what is comfortable or preferable for you. Set
the boundaries that match for you and honor your
beliefs and values. Don't worry about how the other
person is going to view this. You are the important
person in your picture. There are no right or wrong
choices. There are just your choices that affirm and
honor you!
I am going to offer one word of caution. When setting
up the first 5 to 8 meetings, make every conceivable
effort to avoid inviting strangers into your home, home
neighborhood and into your office. And yes, men and
women you meet and start dating are strangers! Please
be clear about this. It doesn't matter who you think
they are or who you want them to be. Until you have
personal experience with people over time, they are
strangers.
Invite them for coffee or lunch or a stroll through an
art gallery or museum. Meet them in the coffee house,
restaurant or art gallery. Invite a friend to join you
and this "new" special person. Park your car down the
street, not in the restaurant parking lot. Say goodbye
in front of the art gallery. This used to be good
advice for women. Today, it is just plain good advice!
Be savvy and be safe. Help people understand what you
expect and how to treat you. Take a deep breath,
connect to what you know and go for it!
Only you can make it happen!
