Is Online Dating For Me?
Dating online is the latest and easiest way of coming in contact with the new people all around the world. It
currently occupies the largest proportion of paid up advertisement on the web. Why? because they provide
easy access to social interaction with new and interesting people. People you would probably never get a
chance to meet otherwise.
Meeting people in cyberspace is not comfortable for everyone. There are of course safety concerns. A
danger of online dating is the threat of online scams. It is not unknown for unscrupulous con artists to con lonely
people out of large sums of money, but this is very rare. There is also the chance that the person you hook
up with may be dangerous, but that possibility also exists in the bar scene or anywhere else.
The BTK killer was active in his church. John Wayne Gasey was a pillar of the community, being groomed
by influencial friends to run for city councel. I'm not trying to scare anyone away from dating all together. I
just want to stress, with normal precautions, online dating is as safe as meeting people offline.
Online dating is a actually misnomer, people donÂ’t really "date" online, they simply meet there. The idea
of a lonely geek all alone at his computer typing away to his online girlfriend who is actually a 300 pound
transvestite is a common image that makes many people turn their noses up at online dating sites.
This image could not be futher from reality. Almost 31% of Americans know someone who has met a partner online. 15% of Americans, that's about 30 million people, say they know someone who has been in a long-term relationship with or has married someone they met online.
Dating online, or hooking up online actually, isn't just for teenagers and young adults. Many seniors have found it a lot less stressfull than diving back into the dating scene after the death of a spouse. Could you imagine trying to hook up with the widow of a deceased friend, or schleping out to a bar or club after years of going home to a pair of loving arms. I can't. The ability to chat and get to know someone before you actually meet can greatly reduce the anxiety.
Not all online dating sites are the same. Some act as introduction services while others are matchmaking
sevices that focus on long-term relationships and marriage. Dating sites are simply a method of meeting
people. Isn't that what it's all about?
We live in a world where everyone is busy. If not on a demanding career path, then simply trying to make ends meet. Most of us don't have the time or energy left to comb the singles bars every night or attend church socials every weekend. Those options are often fruitless for most of us anyway.
Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view, the days of marrying ones childhood sweetheart are pretty much behind us. Online dating is the new trend in social interaction. You can keep to your busy schedule and still get to know someone great.This article was published using Article Submitter
BONUS : Is Online Dating Right For You?
For many singles, jumping into the online dating world is a scary decision. But ask yourself, what do you have to lose? There are many great reasons to join an online dating service. At the very least you have the opportunity to expand your social circle and raise your hopes for finding your perfect match.
Over the last several years, online dating services have grown by leaps and bounds. Most singles have taken the plunge and joined online dating sites, with high success rates.
Among others, here are a couple reasons why online dating may be right for you.
It's Flat Out Fun.
If you haven't already heard, online dating is the most prominent way of meeting fun and attractive people all over the world. It's safe, easy, and fun. Where else are you going to meet so many great people from such diverse backgrounds? No matter if you're looking for someone from your own town, or someone halfway around the world, online dating offers you endless opportunities. Every day, millions of singles are available for instant communication, with hundreds of thousands of new members signing up each and every month.
The Benefits Are Endless
For one, most online dating services have millions of active members just waiting to communicate with someone like you. No matter what your interests or hobbies, there's bound to be someone out there who shares your passion.
The odds of finding someone special are in your favor. Unlike meeting a stranger in a bar, it's a lot easier to screen potential mates for their desired commitment level. So if you're looking to get married, you can immediately weed out those just looking for a casual friendship or relationship.
The icing on the cake, of course, are the features most online dating sites offer. You have easy access to a wide selection of profiles, with member's photos and audio/video clips available at the click of your mouse. A lot of sites will even match you up with people they think would be a good fit based on your personality profiles.
So once you decide to give online dating a chance, here are some factors you should consider before joining a service.
Make a Budget
First determine how much money you want to spend on online dating services. Consider your needs, and decide what is reasonable based on your finances. Some online dating sites only require a one-time fee, while others charge monthly membership fees.
Seek Out Recommendations
There's a good chance some of your single friends have tried online dating sites. Ask them what their experiences have been, and if they have any recommendations for good sites to try, and which sites to avoid.
Also search the internet for reviews of dating sites before deciding to join. If there are a lot of negative reviews, you may want to consider a different service.
Consider Specialized Sites
There are also a lot of specialized sites available. There are sites that cater only to seniors and those that specialize in matching singles with specific religious affiliations. Whatever your desires, there's probably a dating service out there that specializes in your needs.
Weigh the Pros and Cons
Make a list of your favorite online dating sites and compare their advantages with their disadvantages. Take into consideration the site's success rate, the number of active members, their features, costs, etc. Then choose the site that best fits your needs.
Whether you're looking for a marriage, a casual relationship, or even just a friendship, online dating services can help you find that special someone. Dating has never been this easy or fun!
