Online Dating: Get In The Know

Until recently, I always had a set image of what Online Dating.  I never thought it would be something that true love and even successful marriages could come from.  Yet it is!  I have met more people within the past 6 months who have met, began dating and married through Online Dating.

There was a time when meeting somebody special was a bit of a hit and miss affair – no pun intended! If you were lucky, you might find the right person at your place of work or through friends; you could happen to get talking to somebody interesting on a night out and it could lead to a romance. Sometimes, you may have gone out of your way to meet somebody by going to a ‘singles night’ or similar, but let’s face it – it was still hit or miss! These days, there is the option of online dating.

One of the great things people can attest to about the online dating scene is the fact that there is just so much choice available. You can even sign up to agencies for people in a specific type of job or for those who hold the same faith as you. Even if the agency is one of the many that cater for all walks of society, it has the advantage of filtering your choices by matching you up with people who have likes or characteristics in common with your own. In short, online agencies are the 21st-century version of the matchmaker.

In the past, it was sometimes seen as a bit embarrassing to resort to an agency but that isn’t how people view it these days. As we increasingly work and socialize online, finding love on the internet has become a popular thing to do. There are also plenty of sources for finding online dating tips to help you avoid any pitfalls, such as rushing into meeting somebody or painting a false picture of yourself, which can only lead to problems.

If you’re just about to try internet dating, there are some dating profile clichés you should avoid to give you the best chance of success. As long as you remember that there’s never a guarantee of a perfect match or a spark of attraction, you can enjoy the process of finding out, just as much as you could if you met somebody at work.

With this added knowledge finding your next relationship online can seem a bit less daunting and a lot less intimidating.

    John and I met online back in 2004 when it was a bit sketchy and taboo. Soon after that almost every person I know met someone through a dating site and is now happily married. It's so hard to meet people these days!!! We're all too damn busy and I think online is the way to go. I keep trying to convince some of my more stubborn single friends to get on the bandwagon, but they refuse. I guess there still is some of that "no way" mentality out there!

      You were actually one of the online”friends’ I was referring to 🙂 I remember you sharing you online experience during one of the #AskAwayFriday swaps.. Truly a success story and a great proof of the myth behind the stereotype.

    I really appreciate this post! I recently put myself on a few sites after being single for the past 18 months. I've had some great experiences and certainly have more options this way than relying on finding someone through my job or from around my very small town. And I agree, if any stigma used to exist, it doesn't anymore.

      I\’m glad! It is now more of an accepted route for dating than in the past and has actually become somewhat the \’norm\’. I wish you the best of luck in finding that \’someone\’ you are looking for 🙂
