Happy Sunday night to all my ANGELS. It has rained all day here in the VILLE...and the forecast is basically wet all week. It is what it is. This next blog is going to raise the question/concerns with the new way of finding the next big thing..
I am talking about online dating, of course..
When the phenomenon of online dating sites started several years ago, they were a haven for perverts, sexual predators, nerds, and weirdo’s of assorted varieties came in both sexes, all sizes, and all ages…as did, liars and cheaters all of the online dating horror is gone.
That is just no longer the case. The online dating stigma is gone. Online dating has gone main stream and is, not only acceptable, but expected. Online dating has become the primary tool of single people of all ages to generate an interesting and rewarding social life. But if you are still worried about online dating sites there are companies out there to do online dating background check to make sure the person you just met is who they said they are and not some crazed crazy.
No matter what your age, height, weight or physical appearance, there are thousands of people out there eager to meet you and eager for your company…whether short-term or long-term relationships are what you want. If you have found yourself suddenly “on-the-market” again after a relationship has dissolved or are just too busy with your work to spend a lot of time looking for a person to keep you company, online dating sites can open the door to the dating scene for you.
Let us face it…we are busy…and maybe a bit lazy. We just simply do not have the time, the energy, or the financial where-with-all to date several nights each week while we look for the “one” online dating works. Why not make use of such a useful tool for our social and personal lives as well? You could find the love of your life. At the very least, you will meet some interesting people and possibly make some lasting friendships on an online dating network…and that would include Facebook or MySpace.
I used to be a critic of the “online dating” thing…but I kind of stand corrected. I really do think the online conversations allow you to get to know the most important part of someone…the inner person. Online conversation allows you to ask all types of questions…and better yet…allows you to read and understand their responses. There are no physical interference or physical blinding of your interpretations. I’ve gotten to know a lot of people on Facebook…and fortunately for me…I’ve been able to determine via chatting whether or not I would even want to proceed with a face-to-face. Yes to a few…no to a lot. HOWEVER…I’m sure that works both ways…as I can accept the fact that I’m not appealing to everyone.
At my age…I’ve “been there done that” with most things. I’m as open-minded now as ever. One of my past blogs talked about fate/destiny. I think fate/destiny could fall into your lap via the online thing.
If you have experiences with the online thing…good or bad…please share.
Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
I am in total agreement your position on the "on-line dating sites" when a person is earnestly seeking someone to compliment their life, however I do have a problem with people using these sites for reasons other than that! ie...cheating on their spouse...
ReplyDeleteI met my husband on AOL.com singles. Well I was posting a resume online and the singles add popped up. So my BFF said, "let's see all the losers who can't get dates" LOL I said, "Ya.. like me" But I only looked at the guys with pictures. Only two caught my eye. One posing with his dog (awww) and then one with this amazing smile and I sent an email out to them both. After emailing and talking on the phone for about a month, Pete said he had a golf match and was going to be in my area and asked if I would meet for dinner or something. I said, BOWLING and we each drove our cars there. We had a blast, he was trying to let me win till I started beating him and then he got serious and we gave each other heck. At the end of the date, he said he would like to see me again and took my hand and kissed it. (He still does that after 10 years) I was most definitely in LIKE. Then the other guy asked me out on a date. We met at a carnival, our own cars, and hung out for about 3 hours. At the end of the 'date' he walked me to my car and wanted a kiss. Rule #1... never kiss on the first date. I hate it when a guy asks for a kiss on the first date. You just don't know them really and kisses are for those you love. I gave him a cold and shallow peck but could not wait for my date with Pete again. We have been together ever since May 7, 2000. I am a strong and firm believer in online dating but EVERYONE needs to do it with both eyes wide open. There ARE still perverts and cheating husbands/wives out there and that is no way to treat your heart.
