Ah dating, does she like me? Does he like me? What should I wear? How should I act? Where should we go?
Dating is a time of excitement; both nervous excitement, and the good excitement. If you are like me you aren't a teenager anymore, not going to meet someone in study hall, not going to meet your next love at a keg party(actually I still have a few keggers left in me). The point is, it isn't easy to meet people anymore, we are too tainted, too busy, and too picky. This is where the Internet comes in.
On the web you can preview people. Look into their personalities, their interests and of course see what they look like before you have even communicated. This makes things much easier because one of the scary things about dating is being rejected, the first being meeting a psycho. Online dating allows you to chat casually with a person even before you talk to them on the phone. Some people will call this unromantic but really it's being logical. Imagine meeting someone at the bar or even grocery store. You will probably get an initial attraction to them but what else do you know about them? As time passes in the relationship so does the good behaviour and the infatuation. Then BAAM! You find something that you cannot stand about them. What a waste of time, now you have to start all over again and find someone else. Unless you just give up completely. This makes Internet Dating a better route to take, you find out about them right away in their profile.
You can view hundreds of Profiles in one sitting, pick a few you want to communicate with, and then wait for some open communication.
This really is a better way about it, especially with the percentage of couples breaking up. In today's world we don't want to settle for second best, we want to settle for the best that we can get. This is the advantage of the Internet, why settle for a chance meeting or slim,(drunk) pickings at a bar. Go to it now! The best is waiting!
