Since my divorce I have been exploring the world of online dating. It's fun though it has it's Pros and Cons which I've written about in detail on my website.
 
One thing I am often asked is, why do I need to join an Internet Dating Site. To me the reasons are very clear.
 
As a single mum, with no easy access to child minders (not to mention the expense) I can't easily get out in the evening to meet people and unless I ram my shopping trolley into a likely chap in the supermarket (which I would NEVER do) then meeting someone during the day is also not an option.
 
Then there is the small fact that most my friends are in relationships already, so of course, going for girly nights out 'on the pull' as we used to say in the olden days is out. That said, I have recently made some very nice friendships with fellow single mums. However going out on the 'pull' is no longer attractive. We are of a certain age, and well aware of the dangers and pitfalls of meeting random people in bars.
 
Ideally, someone who knows you well will make an introduction to someone they know well and think is suitable and knows to be safe etc. But that is easier said than done.
 
So for these reasons and many others, I have given the online world of Internet Dating a try.
 
There are many dangers of talking to people online but there are precautions you can take to ensure you do not fall foul of them. Many of those precautions can be found in my dating articles mentioned earlier.

But in the meantime via these online dating sites you have lots more people to choose from than you would in any other situation.

Most Internet dating sites offer facilities to search for people under various Interests so you can be sure of meeting someone comaptible. You can search for people in your location, non smokers, etc.

Imagine meeting someone randomly in a bar, you know nothing about them when you swap numbers, but with online dating you can find out as much as you want to from them before ever deciding to take matters further. You may need the extra time to feel comfortable enough with someone to see them offline. You may need time to regain confidence lost.

In real life you tend not to get that time.

It is a good thing that in this day and age you don't have to sit at home on your own anymore feeling lonely, bored or rejected.

The Online world of Internet Dating has someone for everyone.

You can join a friendly discreet online Dating Community and meet people from the comfort and safety of your own home, who share your interests, your passion and who are in the exact same boat as you!

Me Ex has found the new love of his life online and I could'nt be happier for him. It's like he placed an order for what he wanted and poof, out popped a dim witted, near-sighted, mute robot! Just kidding, she's a lovely women with a personality that matches his very closely. I've considered it but haven't jumped in yet. Seems like a good idea and I have single girlfriends who swear by it. Well written and informative sister, keep up the excellent work! lol Myla

Thanks Myla, it is becoming increasingly common that's for sure. I joined at a time when my confidence was at ana ll time low. I immediately found myself a stunning toy boy! lol He did wonders for my ego and we are still great mates.

Hi Leah, Entertaining article, what a world we live in where you can meet someone made to order right from the comfort of your own computer. I've heard of some great success stories about online dating and we've all read about some of the failures.

Personally, if I were still in the game, I'd prefer the shopping cart method, and make that in the frozen food aisle.

Leah~ Bravo for writing this article. I have friends on both sides of the fence: those who think it's the ONLY way to go and those who think it's insane. Personally, I see nothing at all wrong with the idea. In fact, I agree that you're more likely to find out more 'stuff' about folks with the online method than you ever would going out to bars, etc. Plus, you've got the advantage of being able to Google them and/or do various other research before stepping out of your home to meet them. I also think you should ALWAYS tell someone where you're going when you first meet: take your cell and have someone you now call you at a designated hour while on your first 'date'. This way, you've got 'back-up', should you need it. All in all, I think that anyone who wants to meet someone has to trust their gut, whether they do it online or in person. It's all about the instincts! Good luck on your 'quest'!

Thanks Camille, and yes I advise anyone to definately follow Camilles sound tips re safety. I have lots of Internet dating articles on my website if anyone is tempted down the online dating route. Read them for an unbiased view of someone who's tried it! There are definately pros and cons, but it does beat staring at trash tv all night!

hi cre,
when i got back in touch with my childhood sweetheart, we spent hours and hours on the internet, getting reaquainted, and filling each other in of what had been happening in our lives for the past 23 years apart. it was a great way to regroup and get up to date before we went on our first date:)
i think e mail is wonderful-you can learn a lot about a person's thoughts, beliefs, philosophies, likes and dislikes, etc.
i hope you find a match that is worthy of your beauty, inside and out.
best regards,
sue

Online dating can bring a whole world of diversity to the scene that in person dates can not. The idea that it's at our finger tips is quite appealing too. With some thought to online safety and common sense, online dating can be a great experience.

Well done Leah!

Great article! I think you are definitely correct. A the owner of a dating site, I can tell you that it is definitely the easiest way to meet singles. Our lives are so busty that it becomes increasingly more difficult to meet people through the traditional ways we used to!
