Online Dating... Is it Really for You?

Let's face facts people.. times have changed since the supposed "good ol days" when the only way of meeting a potential romantic interest was to get introduced through friends, family and colleagues.

In our current high-tech, fast paced society time is short and options and distractions are plenty, with our busy work schedules and downtime economy it's getting harder and harder to find the time, money and energy to run around doing the bar-scene or even worse for many: the dreaded club scene, all in the sake of finding love, companionship and friendship.

Online dating is still a relatively new concept for people even though it's been around for nearly 20 years now, unfortunately, it still seems to carry the stigma with some narrow minded folks of being only for the desperate or unsightly, this couldn't be further from the truth. There are literally tens of millions of men and women all over the globe who are members of online dating sites, the numbers definitely do not lie.

Online dating is here to stay folks, and it seems to be growing at an alarming rate, the diversification of sites and all the special interests that they cater to continue to expand on a daily basis. Whether you are looking for a man or woman, white, black asian, latino, gay or straight; I guarantee you there exists a site for your preferences. Even the type of relationship you are looking for is being specifically catered to. For example Eharmony.com specializes only in trying to find your soulmate, whereas lavalife.com has a more diverse range of relationships you can seek; including intimate encounters, dating or relationships.

So what does that mean for you? Well, if you're anything like me and you're pressed for time and hate to be pressured and are sick of the bar and club scene then onlne dating may just be the solution you are looking for. No longer the butt of many jokes, meeting someone online has become a part of our daily existence. I can even envision a world when more people meet the love of their life online than offline.
