Online dating pitfalls
I mentioned a few months back one of my friends had joined an online dating website, I hadn’t heard much from her for a while, so I presumed not all is going well on the dating front. If it was and she had found someone, I would have known about it! So when we went out for a drink and a catch up I got to find out all about her dating ‘disasters’ she had, had so far, and some of them were not fun!
After setting up her profile on the dating website www.parship.co.uk where she honestly wrote about herself and put on a pretty decent picture of herself she waited with baited breath for the offers to flood in, they didn’t. Many people presume that as soon as you post yourself online you will get lots and lots of offers and plenty of suitable matches, however sometimes as in real life it can still take time to find the right person.
Now after she had, had a couple of requests she then had to decide which she would take further and get to know them before maybe finally meeting, there were a couple of guys not too far away, however after many emails between them the time came to meet in person. Now she told me that people are much different when they are sat at the computer screen than they are in real life and so far the dates she had been on were less than successful. But she is not disheartened and is still carrying on with online dating and her search for Mr Right!

Sat enjoying a refreshing glass of wine this evening with one of my close friends who I have known for years , she admitted to me that she has had enough of trying to find love the conventional way and has decided to join the world of online dating. I did laugh although I shouldn’t have really, so many more people now find love with online dating that now there really is no stigma with it been for desperate, ugly, weirdo’s!
She has been looking at all the dating websites that are now available and there are many, to find out which would suit her, the main problem is meeting people, going on a date and having absolutely nothing in common, so you are stuck sitting there with nothing to talk about. However some of the websites she told me like www.parship.co.uk offer compatibility tests so they find someone who according to their test would be a perfect match. Thus hopefully when you find someone you like the look of you should when meeting them have plenty to talk about and share many common interests.
It does somewhat to me feel like you are taking the romance out of finding love but what do I know, I will defiantly be interested in how it works out for my friend and to see if she does find ‘the one’!
