I know many singles who are turned off by Internet dating. They just can’t bring themselves to posting a profile. It may feel too forward or too much “out there”, if you know what I mean. Many singles are very private and they don’t want their private information out on the Internet. Or they may be too untrusting to start meeting people who are strangers.
I even had some reservations about Internet dating when I tried it. It was a lot of work and a lot of emotional energy. I was dating one to two guys each week and I got confused who lived where and what each one did for a living. It was a lot of brain cells at work to keep up.
But I know many people who have met the love of their life on the Internet. These people were persistent and kept an open mind. I knew one person who said, “Ok, I’m going to try this one more time and if it doesn’t work, I’m not going to ever do Internet dating again.” Well, guess what, she met her husband. Maybe when we get to that “now or never” attitude, things happen. I always say, that when we get mad is when things get done.
So the answer to the question, does Internet dating work? The answer is yes, it can work. My boyfriend is a wedding videographer and many of the couples met on the Internet. So don’t throw away the opportunity to try Internet dating or to try again. Maybe be smarter about what your profile says or who you meet. Be more selective, or on the other side of the spectrum, let go of your inhibitions and just go for it, whatever the case may be. And as I always say, the cardinal rule is to always HAVE FUN!!!
