I hear people talking about internet dating all the time. I have a large number of friends and co-workers that are obsessed with finding the right person online. It has almost become comical to me the way a person will go home after work at night and spend their entire evening looking for someone to love online when they live in a city full of great people. Isn’t it a bit ironic to stay out of society in order to find the right person in society to spend your life with?
I’ll admit, I do know people that have met through internet dating that are now enjoying amazing marriages, but I’d like to suggest that the success rates are far less than we’d like to believe. Most people that look to internet dating as their only source of hope are still looking weeks, months and often years later for that special someone. You and I both know that life is far too short to be spent online wishing and hoping that your perfect match will somehow sign up for the same internet dating service that you have signed up for.
My desire is simply to warn anyone who feels like jumping into the internet dating scene and signing up. At least take some time to really ask...
