Online Dating – You Don’t Need To Wait Two Years To Find Someone

Uncategorized

A couple of years ago I remember the looks of pity my friend Sarah would get when she mentioned she’d been trying online dating. Admittedly, at the time, I too thought she must be desperate. Couldn’t she meet anyone in ‘reality’? Didn’t she meet people at work, or at parties?

I judged her actions and concluded that she must be either a bit weird or socially inept. Of course, you know I wouldn’t be telling you all this if she had never met anyone! Sure enough, she met a guy online and fell in love. He didn’t live in Bahrain either, he lived in her town!

Even one experience such as this in your own circle of friends can make you reconsider your hasty judgments. So, could online dating really be the answer? Or, is best to just stick with the traditional method of meeting people, even though it hasn’t worked out for you yet?

Well, let’s say you’re occupied with work all day, you go out twice a week with your usual group of friends, and the rest of the time you’re doing chores and sleeping; realistically, how many new ‘dateable’ people are you likely to meet?

Even if you managed to date, or even chat beyond pleasantries with, one new person a week, how many of them are likely to strike up any kind of connection with? One in a hundred? At that rate, it would take a couple of years to meet someone that you feel really attracted to.

So, what if you want to speed up the process? You do the logical thing and sign-up to a dating site that has millions of people in its database. Isn’t it still a bit like shopping for a laptop on Amazon?! Isn’t it less ‘real’ than bumping into someone at a party?
