Internet Dating
The Internet allows you to meet people online in real time, regardless of whether they live a few blocks from you or millions of miles in another continent, conduct business transactions with them, play online games with them, and even fall in love with them.
It is possible to find love through the Internet, and many websites are cashing in on it. In the past few years, a lot of dating websites have blossomed online, eventually becoming one of the largest paid services on the Internet to date. In 2004, some $470 million were spent on memberships to dating websites by Americans alone.
Are you one of those people who are single and willing to find love on the Internet? There is definitely nothing wrong in taking advantage of what the Internet has to offer you if you are truly seeking the perfect partner who will make the emotional investment on you that you want and deserve. If the Internet can make it easier to find Mr. Right, then by all means, plunge in and subscribe to online dating services.
You have to be aware, however, that on the Internet, there is such a thing called anonymity and this anonymity can easily mask what a person is truly like. The virtual face that a person shows on the Internet may be hugely different from what he or she really is. Sure, you get to connect with different people from different countries and belonging to varying cultural groups, social backgrounds and levels of educational attainment. But how sure are you that the person you are dating online is who he claims he is?
The best way to go about finding out if the person you are dating online is the real deal by going on an eyeball with him � that is, meeting him face to face on a real date. Of course this is possible only if the two of you are a short time�s drive away from each other. But then again, if one is willing, one can always fly. Traveling from one state to another, or from one country to another, is no longer as hard as it used to be.
So let us say that you and your online date have agreed to go on an eyeball. Before you set the day, the time and the venue for your eyeball, there is one thing that you should do, and that is to talk to him on the telephone first. Online dating is nice and fun, but you do not really know who that person is on the other end. For all you know, the person you have been chatting with and exchanging emails with for some time now is only playing a cruel prank and making fun of you. A telephone call will give you clues on whether this person is just playing games with you or is really searching for his perfect mate, just like you are.
Once you have gotten that initial phone call out of the way, agree to meet this person you have been going on online dates with in a neutral setting. It could be a coffee shop, a movie theater or the park. The idea is to meet him in a public location. Meeting the guy in a public place gives you safety just in case he turns out to be someone you do not feel safe to be with. Never, ever agree to meet him at his own place. Who knows what danger lurks in that setup?
Online dating can be a fun and harmless way to meet guys and probably find Mr. Right. However, do it smartly and remember to always play it safe.
