Online Dating

Since the birth of the world wide web, millions of people have met through dating sites. I remember when I met my husband, before the www was available in Orlando, everyone I knew thought I had taken leave of my senses when I told them I was flying to Australia to meet a man I’d met through a local bulletin board system newsgroup feed (that dates me, doesn’t i?)

The year after we met we started our dating website and we’ve watched how online dating has become a positive alternative for most everyone. It’s certainly not the only way to meet someone but I have to say it beats meeting a drunk in a bar hands down.

Sure there are some creepy people on the net. There are creepy people at the grocery store, the gas station and even at the library. Do they bother you? No, you ignore them and move on to people you feel comfortable around. Same thing works on a dating site. Meeting someone online is safe, practical and it allows you to find out a lot about someone before you get all geared up to meet someone new.

Online dating has become an alternative and practical way to meet people that we can potentially date. Remember when Mom said there were more fish in the sea? It’s true. You can sort through any number of potential mates and refine your choice again and again so you won’t get a lemon. Not only can you find someone to date, most sites give you plenty of ways to interact with friends from all over the world. You don’t have to get dressed to go out - you can laugh and play online every night. For free!

If you haven’t tried online dating - give it a go. Follow all the safety suggestions about meeting in a public place and you won’t have to worry. If you don’t like it, delete yourself from the dating site and go hang out at the pub. Be careful there too.
