Online Dating – Because Sometimes Cupid Needs A Helping Hand
A couple of years ago I recall the looks of pity my friend Jennifer would get when she mentioned she’d been trying an online dating site. I must admit, at the time, I too thought she must be desperate. Couldn’t she meet anyone in ‘real’ life? Didn’t she ever talk to people at work or at parties?
I judged her actions and concluded that she must be either socially inept, or a bit weird. Of course, you know I wouldn’t be writing about this if she had never met anyone! Sure enough, she met someone online and fell in love. He didn’t live in Bahrain either, he lived in her town!
Just one experience such as this in your own circle of friends can make you reconsider your hasty judgments. So, could online dating prove to be a mainstream way of meeting people, or would it remain in the margins of society? Is it humiliating to look for people online?
So, what if you want to speed up the process? You do the logical thing and sign-up to a dating site that has millions of people in its database. You use the Internet to keep in touch with your friends, and for buying things, so why not for dating also?
Is sending someone a message any less ‘real’ than saying it directly to them? Be honest, which do you do more of these days? Be even more honest, aren’t messages and emails preferable when you’re feeling a little nervous or anxious.
Chatting to someone new that you like the look is far from being easy! Opening communication is way easier through online dating sites. No more stuttered introductions or lame chat-up lines. You can think through what you say and how you’re coming across. You don’t have to worry about blushing or sweating or your mouth going dry.
To summarize, a long time ago, online dating seemed to me to be an absolute non-option. Now though, I’m convinced that it’s surely the best place to start. Let’s say you communicate with ten new people a week through an online dating site – even if only one of those turns out to be eligible, you’ve enhanced your chances of meeting someone by over 1000! You can’t argue with that!
