I remember when i was on the dating scene, and it was quite hard to find that right person your looking for.
I found that if i looked in specific typical places like bars, recreational clubs, the beach etc i was still no better off.
Then i considered the idea of
online dating . At least this way i could get a good look at the person and know a little bit about their history before going on any awkward dates.
I suppose
internet matchmaking is a more modern way of looking for love or friendship without having to go through those Lonely Hearts ads in your local newspaper.
Plus your not tied down to meeting up with them if you don't want to. Alot of people find if they are not face to face with someone they can be a little bit more confident about arranging things or even letting that person down without a confrontation.
I liked going through the
singles online and narrowing them all down to say about ten people, then i would narrow down that ten again based on my personal preferences.
It was quite fun, and although i never ended up meeting up with any of the people i had a good time chatting online.
Sometimes you hear stories about people putting fake profiles on their page, but i have never really seen the point of this, as if you do end up meeting up with them they are just wasting your time and their own too.
I would recommend though if you do want to meet up is take a friend with you, and suggest the person your talking to takes one of their friends too. You could think of it like a double date, but it probably breaks the ice a little better if there are more of you.
Plus it will make you feel more comfortable in a group as your not just focusing on yourself and another.
If it doesn't work out at least you know you have given it a go. Sometimes love just comes to you when you least expect it.

Have you ever tried online dating before? If so i would love to hear any cool stories you have had from your experience.
