Personals - Comparing Online Dating w/ Traditional
Traditional dating versus online dating
When you are single and you wish to place yourself on the dating
market, you should first consider what kind of dating you
prefer. With today's technology, there are two kinds of dating
available - traditional and online.
What does online and traditional dating has to offer?
1) Traditional means. If you are a kind of person that is lucky
in finding prospective dates on a regular basis using
traditional dating methods, you may not need online dating.
However, if you have a hard time finding a date in real time,
you will benefit from online dating services.
2) The importance of time. For most single people, time is a
valuable thing. When a busy and stressful daily life captures
you, you will not have time to go out to party and meet new
people. Online dating saves your time because it acts as a
filter before you even meet someone.
3) Common location. In traditional dating, location will never
be a problem because most of the time, you are acquainted at
parties, social events, and other happenings just around the
city. Although online dating offers you the opportunity to meet
new people in all parts of the world, it would be a problem when
you are located three continents farther from your date.
4) The dreaded blind date. Have you ever experienced being set
up by your friends with no clue on whom your date would be?
Well, if you hate this scenario of traditional dating, you would
enjoy online dating. Through the internet, you have the
opportunity to get to know someone before you meet face to face.
By becoming acquainted with your date beforehand, you could
easily see the probability of a smooth conversation when you
meet in real time.
5) The dream partner. When you meet a person in a bar, party or
social gatherings, the first thing that attracts you to someone
includes the physical attributes. You may not know where the
person was born, goals in life or personality. In dating online,
you have the choice to search for possible dates that have the
same interest, religion, location, personality, and situation as
yourself. There is a larger possibility that you would find the
person who would complement you the most.
6) Cost effective. Unlike meeting your date for dinner or
coffee, online dating is more cost effective than traditional
dating.
Whatever kind of dating you decide is suitable for you, always
be cautious in giving out personal information to a person you
just met. Be sure that your date is genuinely safe. He could
either be the person of your dreams or your worst nightmare.
