Online Dating – Catholic Singles
With the growth of the internet and the ever expanding market for online social networks, it’s no wonder there has been a jump in online dating. There is a huge stigma behind online dating because some people feel there is too much risk for people to cloak who they truly are and they feel the internet is to impersonal. However, there are those of us who have decided to remove the leap into the gigantic world of online dating, and while some will be disappointed, there are those that won’t. The internet is a great resource to meet someone outside for your city, someone who might have a more refreshing outlook. Also if you live a busy life, the internet is a great tool because you can get to know someone and have more to talk about on the first date, and you have a better opinion about who the person is. Granted there are those people who choose to fabricate or omit definite information on the internet, however people do that in real life as well. Personally, I enjoy the internet is an amazing way to meet someone, because I think people who are serious about meeting someone tend to be a little more vulnerable. There is no need to dress up pretty, no need to voice prim and noble the whole time. When we negate on the internet people tend to be glorious casual and laid back. For those of you who believe the internet dating craze is not worth it, you have so noteworthy to learn. Now granted not everyone is going to meet someone on the internet; however I know plenty of people who have met someone.
My mom has worked like crazy just to raise my sister and myself on her own for the most section of our lives. Meeting someone when you have two teenage daughters at home, and when you’re not with them you are at work is near impossible. Plus the market of men offered where we lived wasn’t exactly ideal for a single mom of two teenage daughters. My mom decided she was going to try online dating, so she signed up and created a profile with match.com. I don’t think my mom realized how successful she would actually be at online dating when she first signed up. I believe she was impartial giving it a shot, but never expected much to come from it. After a while in the online dating scene, and quite a few rejects my mom met Bill. He too had kids so that was a major plus for my mom, because he understood what it was like to have and deal with kids. He had been at the same job for several years, so he was very stable, and there were no signs of him being crazy or a stalker. After a while talking and connecting online they decided to go on their first date at a local restaurant. It was on their third date that they kissed and my mom fell in love with him. After 3 years of dating they finally got married, and my mom has never been happier.
Reasons for Online Dating/ Advantages:
• Meet new people outside of your city, or meet people you have never met in your city
• As my mom would say “I’m too old for the bar scene, but too young for bingo parlor,” Sarah Ogden.
• Not as much pressure to be perfect.
• You get to know the person better, because you focus less on looks and more on personality.
• Offers a new outlook to dating
• When people have kids it’s much easier to find someone online. Generally it is included in your profile, so no having to worry about when to tell them.
Tips for Online Dating:
• Talk to the person via the dating website for a while before giving out information
• Once you feel comfortable talking via website, exchange emails.
• After a bit of time talking via email exchange phone numbers
• I can’t stress this one enough, make sure you talk to them on the phone several times before deciding to meet up.
• When you finally do meet up, meet in a very public place. ( I might also recommend telling someone where you will be.)
• Trust your instincts, don’t continue you if you have a abominable feeling
• Be as honest/genuine as possible on your profile, however don’t release to much personal information. (That should be reserved for the emails and phone conversations down the road)
• Do not rush the process, get the know the person before meeting up or giving phone number
• NEVER meet them at your house.
• Do your research don’t just sign up for any station. Check it out see if it fits you. Each site works differently and there are thousands geared to everyone.
