Online dating has a stigma about it still that is stopping perfectly normal singles from having a go at an tried and trusted way of meeting someone. Millions of singles worldwide are enjoying online dating, and thousands are joining them daily. The reason they are joining them is because they have jumped the obstacle of it being something “normal people” don’t do. The truth is, these people are normal, and they will be normal even after they have met someone they are compatible with, and eventually get married to. These singles are no different to singles that date offline. They just have the advantage of knowing something about someone before they contact them. They still talk to them in a normal way, and get to know them in a normal way. What can possibly be so unnatural about that? You’re right. Nothing. Getting to know someone online is as healthy as it is rewarding. Safety can be an issue with some singles. They let this stop them from trying online dating, and let it stop them from meeting someone they never would have met offline. Dating someone online doesn’t get any safer. It’s the meeting them offline that becomes the danger, and that has nothing to do with talking to them online first. You can still meet singles that are not who they say they are in a bar or club. Careful planning with some cross referenced questioning ( that isn’t too obvious ) can make your dates as fun and safe as they can ever be. Just getting over the fact that there is nothing wrong with online dating can have a positive effect on someone’s life. It will put a romantic glow back into someone’s face, and make them feel that they are achieving something. It’s fun, cheap, and a lot more entertaining than sitting there thinking about a relationship. You can actually be in one. So when you are the only one out of you and your friends having a date at the weekend, you can say with pride “ I met them online.”
