A single world: Part 2

Where do you find love? Do you think everyone could find love? What about finding love online?

 

We have all heard of online dating sites and many of us have probably tried them.

 

They all have their own way to attract singles. Match.com states that ‘It’s okay to look.’ Eharmony.com lets you watch a success story on video before you even register. Chemistry.com promises to help their users “find diverse, passionate people who make you go weak in the knees.”

 

It’s simple. You sign up; make a profile, post a picture and try to find other singles that share the same interests… all of this while sitting on your couch in your own living room. There is no buying a new dress or a new shade of lipstick to wear out that night. There is no getting a fresh haircut and asking a few of your buddies to tag along. All you need is a computer and you’re set. 

 

But is finding love online the right way to find love? Does it matter where love is found?

 

There are online love stories that make online dating sound wonderful. There are also awful ones. “Anyone could make themselves look great on paper or a computer screen, but who knows if they are telling the truth or not?” said my sister who has tried many dating sites before.

 

 

 

 

But then I thought about it, if someone is a liar, they are going to lie in person or on a computer screen. So do online dating sites give singles a better chance to match up? Or is it all just a gamble?

 

I believe that online dating is just another form of dating and finding love. I don’t disagree with it but I do believe that a person should not base their whole dating and love life around a dating website.

 

If you want to find love you need to be open, honest and confident. Whether you are making a profile for an online dating site or wearing your brand new cocktail dress to the lounge, be open to everyone, be kind and non-judgmental. When love is meant to happen to you… it will.
