The cost is next-to-nothing.
INTROVERTS
It’s especially good for introverts, who have
disadvantage in
bar scene, for instance. Introverts are generally more comfortable with a slow introduction and getting-to-know you period, communicate well in writing, and enjoy
peace and tranquility of being able to control
pace of an email and compose their thoughts.
“What I enjoy,” says Tom, “is I can do this on
spur-of-the-moment. Come home late at night tired, put on my casual clothes, forget about my 5:00 shadow and aching feet, and get on
computer. I don’t have to get dressed and go out. I know how to look good, but I don’t have that much time. That will come later.”
DISADVANTAGES
I can’t think of any!
There are
same chances for deception – faked photos, married people trying to get into
action, people who are dysfunctional – as you would find in real life, but my clients find you have much more of a safety net.
If it’s new to you, there will be a learning curve, but you’ll learn to filter out
phoneys and weirdos just as you do in real life.
I’ve heard people say they’d be ashamed to date online, but I really don’t get it. It allows you to swing a much wider net. Maybe it’s because in my family we got outside of our hometown for all sorts of adventures. My mother was from Texas, and my father from Chicago. We lived in different cities as my father worked his way up in his profession, and then I went to an out-of-state college. My former husband was from another state. I’ve always considered
US – if not beyond – to be my playing field. Have you?
On some of
sites you might be matched with someone from another country, and who knows what could happen. The choice is always yours to pursue or not to pursue, and that’s
good part.
Nearly half
adults in
US are now single (43%), and we’re looking for one another. The computer,
Internet, has great potential in this area.
RAISE THE BAR
Sometimes someone tells me, “Those people are desperate. I’m not desperate. They’re people who can’t find someone in real life.”
I don’t know what isn’t “real life” about finding someone through
Internet, or what’s “desperate” about wanting a partner. They’re just as real once you see them!
But my answer to this is, “If you feel that way, why don’t you raise
bar? YOU’RE not desperate and YOU’RE looking, so jump in there. Someone looking for you as hard as you're looking for them, and they have everything to offer you do. Why not give it a try - http:/ inyurl.com/2lyea .
