Online dating
I'm just wondering what do you guys think of online dating? :| I'm considering signing up to a few sites. I asked my sister and she said not to as I'll probably attract weirdos. Thing is, it's 2012, online dating has become more popular, there are more genuine people on there than weirdos.
I find meeting new people kind of awkward and I find it a lot easier online. I'll talk to new people fine but finding someone to have a "date" with is next to impossible. Plus, I'd kind of like to date a girl :| I don't know hardly any lesbians/bisexual girls. Is it a bit desperate? Edit: I have common sense with social networking sites :p I know how to spot a dodgy site. |
Re: Online dating
I met my partner online (thanks, TH ;)). Although that was an accident, I don't see much of a difference? Last June I moved states, and though we're in separate towns weekdays (we go to different unis), we'll be living together in just a month.
With the Internet you have the chance to meet loads of people that live relatively close to you, people you might be unlikely to meet in your day-to-day life. It could be really advantageous for you, if anything. Obviously you're bright enough not to meet a randomer in a dark alley way. And, yeah, whatever... people can lie online. People can lie to your face, too--it's about common sense. You're a grown up, and no I don't think it's desperate. Do what makes you feel good, eh? :p |
Re: Online dating
I don't see a problem with online dating at all. If you decide to try it, it will likely work best if you use it as just a secondary way of meeting prospective dating partners (meaning, not your sole means of socializing romantically). That way you aren't using it as any kind of social crutch and if you wind up meeting someone, you have other social experiences to talk about. You have an advantage in that you can filter through whoever you want, spend a lot of time getting to know about them before you meet (and perhaps build a level of comfort beforehand) and there is overall a lot less pressure on you.
Best of luck. |
Re: Online dating
I agree with Jessie. :) I think you're old enough to make that decision. I would recommend keeping your locational information quite private until you get to know somebody better, you know, Facebook friend them and Skype. Then you can plan more on meeting up. THere are a few free ones out there, I don't know details about one in the UK. But my Spanish teacher found her husband on Match.com, so it happens! :) Good luck in your love quest!
