A few years ago I remember the looks my friend Jennifer would get when she mentioned she'd been trying online dating sites. I must admit, at the time, I thought she must be desperate. Couldn't she meet anyone in 'reality'? Didn't she ever talk to people at work or at parties?
I judged her actions and concluded that she was either socially inept, or a bit weird. Of course, you know I wouldn't be telling you all this if she had never met anyone...sure enough, she met a guy online and fell in love. He didn't live in Bahrain either, he lived in her town!
Even one experience such as this in your own group of friends can make you reconsider your rushed judgments. So, could online dating really be the answer? Or, is best to just stick with the traditional method of meeting people, even though it hasn't worked out for you yet?
Well, let's say you're busy all day at work (nobody eligible there), you go out twice a week with your usual group of friends, and the rest of the time you're doing chores and sleeping; realistically, how many new 'dateable' people are you likely to meet?
Even if you managed to date, or even chat beyond pleasantries with one new person a week, how many of them are likely to strike up any kind of connection with? One in a hundred? At that rate, it would take a couple of years to meet someone that you feel really attracted to.
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 still more honest, which mode of communication would you prefer when meeting someone for the first time?
Chatting to a person you've never met before that you like the look of is hard! opening dialogue is way easier behind the safety of a computer screen. No more nervous chat-up lines and stuttered introductions. You get to think through what you say and ensure that you present yourself in the right way.
To summarize, a long time ago, online dating could be viewed to be an absolute non-option. Now though, I'm convinced that it's undoubtedly the best place to start. Let's say you meet just 10 new members per week through online dating sites - even if only 1 person turns out to be eligible, you've enhanced your chances of meeting someone by over 1000! You can't argue with that!
