Online Dating
Online Dating, Why Not?
by Brenda Dennick
So, you're looking to meet that "special someone".
You have tried the bars, blind dates, churches,
grocery stores, etc, all with little or no success.
What have you got to lose by trying one, or even
a few, of the many different online singles services?
Absolutely nothing!
As a former dating service professional, with both
matchmaking and video dating services, I would encourage
anyone to spend a little time on their computer
and explore the possibilities available with online
dating. For a low cost, convenient, private avenue
for searching for other quality singles, online
dating can be a very rewarding and interesting experience.
Online services typically charge a monthly subscription
fee around $20 - $30 for a "Standard"
package or program. These fees can increase, as
you add more of the features offered through the
service, often times enhancing your membership.
Some services even offer their standard features
FREE! Either way, it is a relatively low investment
compared to the thousands of dollars, and long term
memberships, typically charged by the traditional
dating services. Don't get me wrong, although traditional
dating services and matchmakers can be quite expensive,
many people have enjoyed great successes through
their memberships and you may eventually want to
try one as well. But to start, go cheap, go convenient,
go online!
There are some online dating sites that also do
compatibility testing and personality profiling.
These features help members find other quality singles
who are similar to themselves and complement their
lifestyle. The testing and profiling also helps
determine what qualities and characteristics one
should look for in a mate. This might seem a bit
confusing and overwhelming, but it is actually quite
easy. Most sites have online help should you have
any questions or need assistance. Some sites will
even offer suggestions on possible matches.
Typically, no personal information is disclosed
between members until both parties agree. All communication
can be done through the online website. So, your
e-mail, address, phone number, etc., is all get
kept private and secure.
One of the nicest features of online dating is the
ability to work on your membership in the comfort
and privacy of your own home. Whether you are a
morning or an evening person, there are no restricting
office hours. You can work on your membership when
you want, from any location with a computer, for
as long as you want. You are in complete control.
Online dating has come a long way, and many singles
have benefited and met their "special someone"
through the internet. But, do your homework. Research
and compare the different sites. Read and understand
the membership agreements. Do searches for positive,
and negative, information on the sites you are considering.
The Singles/Dating business is very popular and
competitive, so you need to educate yourself. Take
your time, investigate your options, and online
dating can be a very exciting, enjoyable, and rewarding
experience. Who knows? You might even meet Mr. or
Mrs. Right. So, why not?
