The world of online dating is growing at a remarkable pace. It seems it could be THE way people meet in the near future. Chances are you know a couple that have met from an internet dating site. You might be wondering if there's something to online dating after all. Meeting people from the internet is perfectly acceptable, and it's getting more mainstream every day. Sure there are still people that say "only losers use the internet to meet people" or things like that, but these people are just unenlightened. The simple fact of the matter is MILLIONS of people visit personals sites everyday. A lot of people have actually married people they met online! Online dating is for real.
Some people have no problem meeting people. Maybe they are lucky enough to have a job that allows them to have contact with tons of people, or maybe they are exceptionally outgoing or attractive. For most of us it is a different situation. We spend most of our time at work. Well if you company doesn't have many potential mates to choose from, it's going to be pretty tough. You've got bars and clubs, but you don't usually meet the right type of person there. Those are more for having some fun, not meeting someone for a serious relationship. Honestly when it comes down to it, meeting people is hard. And meeting people that are right for you is even harder. So why not go online? We use the internet for practically everything else now a days, so why not use it to find love?
Think about your daily routine. How many chances do you have to meet new people? How many people do you usually interact with in a given day? For most people, it isn't very many. Your odds of meeting someone by chance are pretty slim, and even if you do manage to find someone, chances are it won't work out. The great thing about the internet is that there are just SO many people to choose from. You are no longer restricted to the tiny area you frequent every day. You have the world at your disposal. Your chances for success go up exponentially, just from the sheer number of potential matches. You might be saying "yeah but most of them are losers". There are the same percentage of losers online as their are offline. You can be as picky as you want, everything is on your terms, on your schedule. Out of 10 people, 9 of them are probably not for you. But if even 1 out of 10 have potential, that means there is a whole lot of potential! After some trial and error you are almost certain to find someone compatible. The trick is to not give up so quickly. Take your time, learn how everything works, chat with some people you are interested in. Sooner or later you will find someone.
