Online Dating is for Losers…
…or is it?
It was not long ago that people generally met their future spouses when they were in high school. Then college or university education became mandatory and people began putting off marriage until later… and later… and later. In 2007, it is not uncommon for people to wait until their late 20s or early 30s to get married. Unfortunately for those who wait, it is harder to meet people now that they aren’t going to keggers, toga parties, etc. These activities have been replaced with working late to climbing the corporate ladder, developing a taste for once boring activities like golf and tai chi, etc. Enter online dating.
Who’s your daddy?
Online dating is no longer for losers. The internet is the daddy of all singles bars minus the loud music and drunk people, (unless you are in front of your keyboard with the music cranked and an empty bottle of vodka). Beats your mom setting you up with someone with a ‘great personality’!
Caution! Danger Ahead!
Be careful…a lot of wackos out there! Setup a separate email address for your online dating needs and only use your first name. If you do decide to meet up, do so in a public place.

You are right. Online dating is the place for single dating in today’s world.

I met my last boyfriend online, but not through a dating site. It was through an Open University forum. The last thing I had on my mind was a relationship, but it worked for nearly 4 years and we’re still the best of friends.
I met my latest fellah through a dating site after talking for just one hour. I guess I’ve been lucky so far in not meeting any nutters!

Hm, well, my last two relationships were online. One I still have a thing for(she was the first one) and the other…well, we broke up mutually. So, I’d have to say there is nothing wrong with it.
