Divorced? Split up? Single? Lonely?
Online dating may just be the answer.
Let’s look at the reasons…
Reason #1. Convenience!
From the comfort and privacy of your own home you can relax with a cup of tea or coffee, and scroll through an assortment of singles to meet and date!
Instead of late nights in smoky bars and going home disappointed…and wake up smelling and feeling like an ashtray.
Unhealthy, stinky smoky bars are boring and drunks aren’t interesting. Then there’s the loud thumping music where you have to shout at each other to be heard.
Where at home and in your own time, you can go online and pick a suitable profile to email and organize to meet.
So for pure convenience and ease, online dating is the number one place for meeting someone new!
Online dating is a major breakthrough for singles.
You can meet people you wouldn’t otherwise ever have the opportunity to meet!
Therefore it creates an even playing field for everyone.
By learning some basic skills and getting experience, anyone can succeed online.
Reason #2. Not Having To Face Rejection by Approaching People Cold!
This is a major bonus for people who are recently divorced, split up and have lost their confidence and experience with meeting other singles.
It is the best way to ease back into the dating scene…
You don’t have to boldly approach a person in public and get their number for a date.
You do it online via email, with no nervousness to deal with at all.
And if you contact a profile and they ignore your email, so what?
You just move on to another until you find one to meet, easy!
Therefore you are not confronted with your fear of being rejected in public, with online dating.
And if you do get ignored or knocked back, no one knows but you and it doesn’t MATTER.
There are plenty more to choose from…
And by the time you meet, you’ve already chatted via email and on the phone so there is no need to be nervous when you meet her for coffee.
Reason #3. Confidence Building!
You gain confidence by meeting people online and having success with developing relationships.
This is a massive benefit.
When I divorced after nine years I was nervous about getting back out there and had little success in meeting new people.
Once I had been online dating for six months I was back on my feet.
I now have the belief and confidence to approach and meet people everywhere.
I also have more skill at handling rejection when it happens.
Because I’ve learned that it’s impossible to succeed 100% of the time.
Every No means you are closer to a Yes.
So if you are not getting rejected, you aren’t in the game!
You HAVE to be in the game!
The confidence you get meeting people online will lead you to meeting the perfect someone for you. Whether that is online or offline. It’s getting the experience that is important.
Reason #4. The Infinite Amount of Suitable Singles!
It truly is an infinite amount of possibilities available online to meet.
By having such a large pool of singles to contact, there is no need to ever be short of at least one date a week.
It’s just a case of being organized and only contacting locals to make the most of your time.
There will be anything from two to thirty two different sites in your region to join and check out profiles.
There are also many NEW people joining everyday…this will continue forever!
So it’s a must for singles to get good at online dating.
You can never run out of people to contact. Even if you exhaust one service you can try another. By the time you’ve gone through all suitable profiles to meet on the other service, the original one will have new stock!
Online dating is also very affordable!
Massive Reason #5. Ease of Finding Suitable Partners!
By creating your own criteria and sticking to it, you can find someone suitable so much quicker than offline.
That is of course if they are honest in their profile…
[Which sometimes they aren’t.]
This saves you a lot of time and money by having criteria.
For example, I don’t date people with children.
Which is hard in my age group.
But dating people with kids will never work out for me, so I just have to stick with my criteria.
I also don’t date smokers anymore…
So the more experience and confidence you get. The more definitive your criteria get.
By narrowing my criteria I have meet some great people a lot quicker than if I had dated just anyone who would go out with me.
Also when you approach someone in a bar you know nothing about them.
Online you get to know a reasonable amount before you make contact.
This really does increase your odds of meeting suitable partners.
I love online dating…I much prefer it to bars as an alternative.
It’s paved the way for me to be comfortable when I am single. Because I know there is a LOT of suitable people online and I’ll be back dating a special person sometime soon….
