Why Avoid Online Dating

With dating being such an exercise in stress these days, there are more reasons than ever to jump online and sign up with a few of the reputable online dating websites. Yes, you’ll probably tell yourself anything to keep from having to take this step. You think that you’re too busy, or you just don’t want your information so public, or you would just rather meet someone naturally rather than “force” it. Maybe you’ve already given it a quick shot and it just didn’t work out for you. 

Ok, now that you’ve come up with all of the excuses in the world to not do this, it’s time to make a list of some great reasons that you should do it. First of all, if you’re really so busy that you can’t find the time to set up a dating profile, then you probably need to either just not worry about dating at all, or maybe drop some of your commitments. Seriously, when you’re too busy to date or have a social life, then you need to cut back on some things. Remember that little adage that starts out with “All work and no play?” It’s sure to make you a dull person and no one wants to date dull people. 

As for wanting to meet someone “naturally,” everyone would love it if that were to happen. The problem with that is this is just not something that happens all the time these days. Most people meet their dating partners through mutual friends or just bouncing around online in various chat rooms and communities. Granted, there are those couples that meet at church, at bars or clubs, at the post office, the Laundromat, the supermarket, or anywhere else where people may go on a day to day basis. It’s just that not everyone you meet in those ways will work out. 

The thing about online dating websites is that they’re usually set up so that people with things in common can easily find each other as well as communicate. If you’re someone that doesn’t want to put all of your information online, simply be selective about what you decide to put into your dating profile. No one has stated that you must put absolutely everything out there for just anyone to read. All you need to do is build your profile in a way that you’ll only attract the type of potential dates that will interest you. 

These days, there are so many more reasons to look into online dating websites than there are to not do it. If you have tried it before and it just wasn’t all that successful, don’t let that stop you. Get some advice from friends that have enjoyed some great experiences with it. They’ll probably be quite happy to assist you in building just the right profile so that only the types of people that you would find fascinating will be drawn to contact you. Then, you can go from there regarding whether or not you’ll reply, ignore the contact or eventually set up a date. It really is just that easy!
