Online dating, why not?
So, you're looking to meet that "special someone". You have
tried the bars, blind dates, churches, grocery stores, etc, all
with little or no success. What have you got to lose by trying
one, or even a few, of the many different online singles
services? Absolutely nothing!
As a former dating service professional, with both matchmaking
and video dating services, I would encourage anyone to spend a
little time on their computer and explore the possibilities
available with online dating. For a low cost, convenient,
private avenue for searching for other quality singles, online
dating can be a very rewarding and interesting experience.
Online services typically charge a monthly subscription fee
around $20 - $30 for a "Standard" package or program. These fees
can increase, as you add more of the features offered through
the service, often times enhancing your membership. Some
services even offer their standard features FREE! Either way, it
is a relatively low investment compared to the thousands of
dollars, and long term memberships, typically charged by the
traditional dating services. Don't get me wrong, although
traditional dating services and matchmakers can be quite
expensive, many people have enjoyed great successes through
their memberships and you may eventually want to try one as
well. But to start, go cheap, go convenient, go online!
There are some online dating sites that also do compatibility
testing and personality profiling. These features help members
find other quality singles who are similar to themselves and
complement their lifestyle. The testing and profiling also helps
determine what qualities and characteristics one should look for
in a mate. This might seem a bit confusing and overwhelming, but
it is actually quite easy. Most sites have online help should
you have any questions or need assistance. Some sites will even
offer suggestions on possible matches.
Typically, no personal information is disclosed between members
until both parties agree. All communication can be done through
the online website. So, your e-mail, address, phone number,
etc., is all get kept private and secure. One of the nicest
features of online dating is the ability to work on your
membership in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Whether
you are a morning or an evening person, there are no restricting
office hours. You can work on your membership when you want,
from any location with a computer, for as long as you want. You
are in complete control.
Online dating has come a long way, and many singles have
benefited and met their "special someone" through the internet.
But, do your homework. Research and compare the different sites.
Read and understand the membership agreements. Do searches for
positive, and negative, information on the sites you are
considering. The Singles/Dating business is very popular and
competitive, so you need to educate yourself. Take your time,
investigate your options, and online dating can be a very
exciting, enjoyable, and rewarding experience. Who knows? You
might even meet Mr. or Mrs. Right. So, why not?
