Valentine's Day can be hard for some people because they currently have no valentine or never had a valentine. A lot of single people say that good men/women are hard to find. It's partially true but you also have to know where to look. One good place is the Internet.
The Internet!? Yes! The Internet! There are so many kinds of dating websites you can try...most let you look for free but you're going to have to pay if you want to communicate with them. Some people may not want to pay but you're spending the same amount of money getting your hair and nails done, buying outfits to look your best, and paying for cover, food and drinks. You might as well spend the money chatting on the online dating sites relaxing in the comfort and safety of your own home in your pajamas. Your odds are the same either option you choose!
When you create your online profile, the most important thing is to be honest! Tell them who you are...the real you...and put on there what kind of person you really want. If you don't want a booty call, put it on there! If you just want to make friends, put it on there! Be specific in the type of person you want so that way if they truly read your profile ther are no surprises. Please. please, PLEASE put an recent photo, BY YOURSELF on your profile even if you're a little on the heavy side or not on your A game at the moment...again, honesty is the best policy! Then get yourself together and update your pictures accordingly.
Online dating may be a good idea for those who are shy, don't have the time or energy to go out to the bar/club, or aren't the clubbing type. Although you're in the safety in your own home, you can still come across some psychos online so don't give out your phone number or home address until you've met them in person in a very public place preferrably while the sun is out. If you have the bad feeling in your gut about someone, stop communicating with them online! If you're with them in person, make up an excuse and leave! Before you go out on your date, make sure you tell a trusted friend or family member where you're going and give them the other person's name and phone number so they can provide it to the police in case they don't hear from you after a certain time. These rules are good ideas regardless of where you meet the person...trust your intuition!
In online dating, hell dating period, you win some and you lose some. More likely than not you're not going to meet your soulmate the first day you're on the online dating site or with the first person you connect with online. Use online dating as an opportunity to have fun and meet new great people. You may like it better than the bar scene!
Before you engage in online dating or any kind of dating, be sure you love yourself a lot and have come to terms with past relationships good or bad...baggage shows in online dating profiles and it's not cute. If someone clearly has baggage, keep it moving! For the love of baby Jesus DO NOT "SAVE" THEM!! Their issues are for them and their therapist to fix, not you.
Here are some sites to start:
http://www.match.com/
http://www.eharmony.com/
http://www.zoosk.com/
http://www.beyondblackwhite.com/ (if you're down with the swirl)
http://www.christianmingle.com/ (if you're on Team Jesus)
http://www.latinpeoplemeet.com/
http://www.blackpeoplemeet.com/
And Google is your friend...type in (whatever you want) dating sites and see where Google takes you!
With that said, sign up and start looking! Have fun and be safe!
Take care,

I agree joining in some of the dating sites is fun. It allows you to meet new people and who knows your dream guy too. Finding your desired man through online dating is like a gamble if you found him you win but if not better luck next time.
ReplyDeletei can relate with those people who are engage in online dating i tried it last year and i find it very interesting . I use to express those feelings that i can't say on person . I get to know and have lots of Friends in different countries the good thing is i also learned from their culture by communicating to them online .
