Why Choose Online Dating

By Justine Anne Quarter

When it comes to finding a date, this may be for the purpose of a companion, an opposite sex best friend or a future partner in life. There are certain factors and criteria that each of us requires from that other person that we are dating.

Before anything else, the first question is how to find a date. He or she may be a former classmate, an officemate, someone around the neighbourhood or maybe an anonymous person that you have just met online. Yes, it's very possible! Online dating is now a thing of today's generation. You are able to meet someone who is totally clueless about you and vice versa. No one can tell if maybe that person is the one that you have been waiting for. Don't raise your eyebrows, let the good side of online dating be shown off to you and decide later on if it's worth trying or not.

If he or she is someone who is close to a friend or a relative, it would be rather impolite to say no when that person asks if it's fine to go out with you. Even though the person didn't mentioned it as a date, the fact that you are trying to be nice because he or she is close to someone who's also close you. This may be a friend, a relative, an officemate, etc., there's nothing that you can do but accept the offer. Now aside from thinking of what attire you will wear. You will also be trying to be nice to this person by attempting conversation and bearing with that awkward feeling until it's finally time to say goodbye and call it a day or night.

Now, with regards to online dating, you don't have to feel guilty in case of someone wanting to go out with you and you don't want to. Through online dating, you are going to be a member of an online social system, you will have your own option to filter those you want to meet and be your friends. You will be able to meet only those that match your criteria. So, besides being free from the hassles of preparing yourself, finding the right attire, allocating budget for your food and transportation allowance, online dating is much more affordable. In fact, it's free and all you need to have is a computer and an internet connection. The best thing about online dating is that there's no chance of you feeling uncomfortable like when you are dating someone in person.

It can be quite a memorable moment when two persons enter into the 'getting to know you' stage. Through online dating, you can have frequent chats and enter into good conversations even before deciding to meet up in person. Remember, it is still your full responsibility to decide and judge whether the person you are planning to meet up with is someone who is sincere about what he or she says online and not just a player who's fooling around.

Online dating is worth trying, especially for those who want to try new and unique ways of finding friends. Although it is still up to you to decide whether to be serious or not with regards to engaging in online dating, certain regulations need to be strictly followed once you become a part of that online social system. Failure to observe these rules may cause you to be banned or your account deleted. So, with knowing this, if you are serious about meeting someone online, then just keep it up and observe your netiquette at all times. - 32510
