Online Dating - My First Time
Okay. I’ll take a look, but I’m not saying that I’m going to
participate in online dating just yet. I’ve heard the success stories and
the horror stories about online dating, but I do not have any first hand
experience to share with you on the topic.
What I plan to do in this article is take you with me while I explore
the different online dating services available on the web. Brace yourself
and buckle your seatbelt, I’m going to try something I saw in a cartoon.
Just kidding. That’s something I like to say to the passengers in my
car just before I start to drive. Maybe that’s part of the reason I’m
having dating problems in the first place.
Okay, the first website I discovered says it’s a “free” online dating
service. Online, red flags always go up for me when someone says that
magic word, “free”. But, let’s take a closer look.
Well, it sounds good. It says it is, “an internet dating service that
provides a comfortable and intimate environment where you can safely and
conveniently search and find your perfect soul mate, while having lots of
fun. Thousands of dating ads of singles that are looking for dating
romance, intimacy and friendship is available for you to browse through.
Your ideal companion might be among them. (site name deleted) brings
dating to new frontiers, making impossible, possible!”
I’m having a little trouble with the comfortable and intimate
environment thing. They haven’t seen the room my computer sits in. Safe
and convenient sounds nice though. But if the website is just a lot of
personal ads, can’t I just get something like that at my local news stand
or in my local newspaper?
I think I’ll move on and take a look to see if there are online dating
services that provide more than dating advice and personal ads.
Hmm, now I find myself on an online dating website that claims to be
the biggest online dating service on the web. It has a big picture of Dr.
Phil on the front. Almost scared me away, but I’ll tough it out and stay
to see what they offer.
Here is what they say, “Looking for more in a relationship and a dating
site? With over 10 years of experience in online dating and relationships,
(site name deleted) is the worldwide leader in online dating and
relationships. Where else can you find millions of singles looking for
love, just like you? We don't offer just online personals, we are personal
in our offerings - to help you find a date, a relationship, a marriage.
Whoa! Marriage? I said I might try online dating. I never said anything
about marriage! And now I have the mental image of “millions of singles
looking for love”. Wow! Millions. Okay, so they sound big, but what do
they actually offer?
Well, first off, they don’t really tell you much about the services
they provide. Just a lot of information about the millions who have gotten
married through their online dating service. So I bit the bullet and went
to the sign up form to learn more.
