Are People Who Use Online Dating Really Sad?

A couple of years ago I remember the looks my friend Sarah would get when she mentioned she'd been trying internet dating sites. Admittedly, at the time, I too thought she must be desperate. Couldn't she meet anyone in 'real' life? Didn't she ever talk to people at work or at parties?

I concluded that she was either socially inept, or a bit weird. Of course, you know I wouldn't be writing about this if she had never met anyone! Sure enough, she met someone online, they fell in love, and now they're married.

Even one experience like this in your own group of friends is enough to make you reconsider your rushed judgments. So, could online dating prove to be a mainstream way of meeting people, or would it remain in the margins of society? Is it humiliating to look for people online?

Well, let's say you're occupied with work all day , you go out a couple of times a week with your usual group of friends, and the rest of the time you're washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning your home (or more likely a combination of Facebook, TV and surfing the net); realistically, how many new 'dateable' people are you going to come across?

Even if you managed to date, or even chat beyond pleasantries with one new person a week, how many of them are likely to be a good match? Maybe one in a hundred, and that's if you're lucky. At that rate, it would take you two years to even meet someone that you feel really attracted to. Not bad, but, in the meantime, you've spent two years alone!

So, what if you want to speed up the process? You do the rational thing and sign-up to a dating site that has millions of people in its database. You use the Internet to keep in touch with your friends, and for buying things, so why not for dating also?

Is email less 'real' than talking? Be honest, do you message people on Facebook that you haven't seen since your school days? Be still more honest, aren't messages and emails preferable when you're feeling a little nervous or anxious?

Talking to a stranger that you like the look is far from being easy! opening dialogue is way easier online. No more stuttered introductions or lame chat-up lines. You can think carefully about what you say and ensure that you present yourself in the right way. You don't have to worry about blushing or sweating or your mouth going dry.

To summarize, not so long ago online dating appeared to me to be an absolute non-option. Now, I'm convinced that it's unquestionably the best starting place for finding a partner. Let's say you communicate with just 10 new people per week as a result of using online dating sites - even if only one turns out to be eligible, you've enhanced your chances of meeting someone by 1000% over the natural method I mentioned earlier! !
