Online Dating Success Stories
Dating can be terrifying for anyone: meeting new people, putting ones heart (and ego!) on the line, investing time and energy into relationships youre not even sure will work out. But it is especially difficult for those who have been hurt before.
My ex-husband cheated on me several times before we finally got divorced, recalls Emma, 28. I was so afraid to trust someone again. Through online dating, she was able to get to know men at a much slower, more comfortable pace. Wed exchange emails, call each other, until I was personally ready to meet them face to face, she said. I didnt feel rushed to make a decision. I had full control every step of the way. It took her 3 months before she agreed to have lunch with Steve. Theyve been together for 2 years, and theyre already talking about getting married.
Cecille, 25, had never been comfortable about the traditional dating scene. Shes always been shy, and the whole routine of hanging out in the bar and waiting for someone to buy her drinks was never her thing. Besides, Im the kind of girl that prefers reading a book in a quiet coffee shop, she said. Online dating allowed her to meet people in a way that suited her personalityat her laptop, while sipping a cappuccinoand she worded her profile so shed meet the guys who shared her love for reading. In fact, when she read Ben (her current boyfriend)s email, the first thing that caught her attention was that they liked the same authors. You dont get that kind of precision matchmaking in a bar, she laughs.
Greg, 35, enjoys online dating because it puts him on a level playing field. You really get to know people for who they are, he said. He feels in traditional dating the first few dates focus too much on impressing each other, saying the right things, wearing the right clothes. But when you email and chat, what you pay attention to is the persons attitude and personality. You dont have to wait until the fourth or fifth date to discover if you think alike, he said.
On the other hand, Tori, 32, chose online dating because she wanted a little adventure in her life. I live in a small town where youve known everyone since you were a little girl. Its hard to meet anyone new, and if you go on a date, its big gossip the next day. While shes not ready for anything serious, shes enjoying talking to different kinds of people from all around the world. One of the men I really clicked with lives in Spain! she said. Hes so different from anyone Ive ever known, but at the same time, he understands me more than even my family does! Shes planning to take a month off from work to visit him.
BONUS : Online Dating - Take Your Time, Make The Right Choice.
Have you ever found yourself forced to choose between more than one romantic prospect? The ordeal can be daunting, to say the least. Your primary concern necessarily lies with choosing the person that is the best option for you and best compliments your own personality, but you also have to take into account the feelings of the other parties involved. Needless to say, things can go south very quickly, and what you think to be the right decision can ultimately turn out to be disastrous.
This potentially sticky mess of human interaction is troublesome enough on its own, but the problems with it run deeper, as well. The fact is, nobody wants to feel that their time was not spent in the best way possible, or that theyve wasted a portion of their life on something that ultimately turned out to be for naught. Without approximating the two things too closely, we live today in a very consumer-oriented world. People want to know what theyre getting into, they want all of the information about it, and above all they want it to work out in their best interests. Dating is largely viewed along the same lines; life is simply too short to embark upon a series of failed relationships.
Part of the problem lies with the inherent uncertainty of dating. Simply put, it takes a while before somebodys dreams, desires, and proclivities become apparent, and only after you know these things can you make an educated decision as to whether or not they are right for you. As previously stated, however, finding somebody that compliments the person that you are is largely a hit-or-miss affair. When you meet somebody at the bar or in a social setting, it is not likely that you will have a chance to learn what comprises them as a person. Rather, you are attracted to somebodys appearance, and after some time you tentatively begin to inquire and learn more as you get to know the person.
Online dating rectifies at least a portion of this dilemma. Most people that are halfway serious about the possibility of finding somebody worthwhile online have taken the time to craft a brief profile about themselves. Said profile can be telling even if it is short; by reading it, you are often able to get a feel for a persons intelligence, background, and personality before you even begin speaking with them. This alone puts you in a better position from which to move than simply exchanging phone numbers with a random person. And, back the original point, you are able to explore several different options simultaneously without setting the stage for disaster. In order for the two of you to become truly vested in the potential relationship, it essentially requires a mutual decision. Email is such an unobtrusive form of communication that, ere this happens, you can freely correspond with more than one romantic prospect and decide which one is the right pick for you. Simply put, online dating eliminates a great deal of the negative drama from the relationship arena.
