Online Dating - A Whole New
World
By Trevor Taylor
Not so long ago there was a
certain stigma surrounding the idea of two people meeting
through contact on the Internet. Not so now though! Online
dating is becoming more favorably accepted in society, with
many dating sites offering facilities and features that make
it convenient, exciting and safer to interact without the
necessity of staying in a bar until the early
hours...
As life becomes more hectic, with
the pressures of work, family and other commitments, many
adults find it increasingly difficult to make time to
socialize, and especially at venues where they are more likely
to meet a prospective partner. Others have become disenchanted
with the bar scene, or late night clubs, and it is not
surprising that a growing number of people are looking to the
internet to find friendship, romance or even
marriage.
The obvious benefits of online
dating revolve around the confidentiality and security limits
which are decided by each individual. In creating your profile
you choose the details you want to be made public about your
physical attributes, character, likes, dislikes etc and in
adding a photo image to your profile, you are in control of
how others will see you. You can choose who you would like to
interact with, the level of interaction and who you would
rather ignore.
So you make contact with one or
two members who have taken your eye for one reason or another.
Physical attraction is all important, and fortunately for us
all, we have differing tastes in what we find appealing in
others. Initial contact can be made through a whisper or wink
to show the interest is there, and the next interaction would
typically be through the website's internal emailing system.
This is not a live process so you have plenty of time to think
about what you write, or how you answer questions. At this
point you are still remaining reasonably anonymous, as all the
other members know about you is what they have learned from
viewing your profile.
Once that initial approach has
been made, a few email messages have been exchanged, and the
interest still remains, the next step in the online dating
process would ideally be to engage in live chat. This is where
you really get to learn about your prospective date. Many
dating sites have either an instant messenger program within
the site or a chat room. Instant messenger gives you the
option of making contact in a live 'one on one' situation,
whereas you will have the opportunity to chat to a plethora of
users in a chat room, either privately or in public. Members
will usually type their live messages as they normally talk,
so you start to learn about the character behind the keyboard.
Their sense of humour, education and attitude to subjects will
start to become apparent. It is amazing how much you can learn
about a fellow member's makeup through online chat.
There are those that hide behind
the Internet, and are not honest about certain aspects of
their personal statistics. For example, age, height and size
may all be inaccurate on their profile, and in some cases,
devious users may even use a photograph that is several years
old or not even of themselves. This is where the use of the
webcam comes in handy. Camming has to be an important part of
the online dating process, and should take place before any
live meeting. You can identify physical attributes as well as
witnessing a smile, or see the mannerisms that are distinctive
to that particular person. Here is where you decide whether or
not you want to meet your friend in person and take the
process offline.
Even if you are excited about your
new date and are thinking very positively about the prospects
of a live meeting, there can still be a level of
disappointment when you actually meet. Nothing is for certain
and although you can seem to hit it off online and even
through phone calls, there is no way to examine the chemistry
through a keyboard. And very often you will know within the
first few minutes of meeting.
However, the process of online
dating, can be extremely exciting and the excitement far
outweighs the disappointment. It's good to take your time and
let the process happen at a steady rate. The online dating
process cant be rushed, and cutting corners will usually end
in disaster. So enjoy the early interactions, learn about your
new found friendship, keep your personal security as high as
it needs to be, and try to keep your expectations down to a
minimum until you finally get to meet that special someone. By
that time you will know far more about him/her than you would
on a conventional first date.
Online dating has many advantages.
Use them all to the fullest and you'll discover a whole new
world which can be a great deal of fun and an extremely
adventurous experience.
