it seems to be everywhere- tv, radio, the net (of course). People are talking about it- my computer deficient boss is even curious about it. Match.Com, eHarmony, Yahoo, Salon.Com.. all have match making sites. Tonight whilst perusing my 80 odd channels of crap, I saw three seperate commercials for dating. Are there that many single people in society today that need to go to an online venue? Now, dont get me wrong- I have been playing on the sites for about 5 years now. Been out on countless dates- only one of them actually turned into a relationship- 2 years actually, but in the end, well, lets just say it didnt have a fairy tale ending.
What ever happened to meeting someone the old fashioned way? Home Depot, Starbucks, Church, blind dates- Have we gotten so busy that we are streamling every facet of our life?
I like certain aspects of online dating- I like to be able to filter the boneheads. But, there is so much pressure to make sure that you submit a good picture, have a witty tagline, etc. I like to be able to look someone in the eyes and see if I feel that "tingle". You lose that when you meet someone online. You can have the best online banter, really get "into" the guy, and when its time to meet someone face to face, more times than not, disappointment. That click, that sparkle, doesnt exist in real life.
Why are there so many guys that are soo vivacious online, and are dreadfully quiet in real life? Am I that scary, or are they that scared?
I still put myself out there.. you never know what can happen. Maybe I will meet Prince Charming, instead of the endless stream of frogs online.
Despite all this, I am off to check my Match.Com account and my Yahoo account.
Hope springs eternal doesnt it?
