Getting On The Online Dating Roller CoasterComing to an online personals site for the first time can be a bit disconcerting. Though online dating is increasingly covered in mainstream media and has largely become a common tool for online singles (33 million strong in the United States according to a recent revenuetoday.com finding), that first search through an internet dating service's listing of profiles is always a unique experience. Sometimes a profile will jump right out at you and other times, you'll feel more lost than you were before you sat down at the computer. Dating, on the whole, is full of ups and downs and online dating is no different. One writer for the Downtown Express recently took the plunge and gave online dating a shot. The key benefits included the ability to filter out the non-datable men right off the bat without wasting a drink or an hour at the bar to do so and the ability to peruse in a sober and clear-minded state without the influence of alcohol rendering anyone and anything attractive. That ability to leisurely and logically look through potential dates has brought many online and continues to be one of the great things about the emergence of dating in web space. Of course, the ride is not always rosy. One pitfall is some singles may sound great in email exchanges but performs not so well on a date. Some dates came with too much baggage and others remained a bit shady throughout the process only to confess they didn't have a job, four dates in. However, the overriding sentiment from the article and from many online daters is that while the hunt might not always be successful, it can certainly be entertaining. That is certainly true when the online matchmaking hunt is compared against the bar scene where decisions can sometimes come at least than ideal times and getting picked up can be an entirely awkward situation. Dating and matchmaking websites can offer great advantages for singles that are looking, but meeting someone online is no exact science. There will be ups and downs, but at the very least, enjoy the ride. Posted by eDatingCentral.com May 9, 2007 2:52 pm Related Online Dating News Articles:
