Benefits of Online Dating

Have you ever played match-maker? It seems that married people are especially guilty of trying to marry off their single friends. Of course your intentions are always good. After all, who doesn’t love a wedding— the planning and preparations, choosing a bridal gown and all the rest.  And living vicariously through single friends is kinda fun. Listening to their dating stories helps recall the early excitement you tend to forget after being married a long time. Remember that thrilling first kiss? Or the moment you knew your spouse was THEE one?!

But when you really think about it, online dating is way more effective than match-making friends could ever be. Online dating services connect thousands of singles who would otherwise probably never meet. The chances of finding your perfect match in cyberspace is actually greater than finding them in your own office or neighborhood.

And did you know that 40 million Americans use online dating services? It makes sense when you consider how easily it improves the odds of meeting compatible people in a short time frame.  And since many online dating sites are free, it’s also very thrifty on the wallet, as well as with your time.

Here’s another reason why online dating is efficient and effective… take Rosie and Sam as an example. Rosie has been divorced about four years, Sam about a year. They live 20 minutes from each other, both are accountants and enjoy sports, so why not get those two together? Just because Rosie has a cat and Sam is allergic, well, they could avoid her house and go out to eat a lot instead, right? Worked OK at first and they did go out to nice dinners several times a week, but then things got serious. Rosie and Sam fell in love, yet Rosie just couldn’t part with her fluffy feline, nor is she Jewish, but Sam is. Now Rosie is kinda miffed that you ever introduced her to someone so wonderful with allergies and of a different religion in the first place!

But if Rosie and Sam had both joined an online dating site, they probably never would have been matched to begin with, saving a lot of anguish and time. Instead, Rosie would have been matched with Bill, a veterinarian who loves to play tennis as much as she does. And Sam would have hooked up with a math teacher with no pets and whose family owns a kosher restaurant.

As a hopeless romantic, you just can’t help wanting to pair up the single people you know, but the online dating professionals really do it better. Plus it’s expensive to go out to bars and clubs hoping to meet someone new with no guarantees. It’s way more thrifty to first look for love online.
