Is Online Dating Right For You?



People have the impression online dating is for the “young’uns”, and it is, but it’s also for you.

I’m not even sure who “you” are, but it’s for you. That is because online dating is for everyone. No matter your age, gender, sexual preferences (and there are some odd ones), there is a perfect site for you to meet a potential mate. I recently saw a niche dating site for people who like to wear diapers: “DiaperMates” (seriously). If someone can find their mate prancing around in plastic Huggies; I’m sure there is someone to meet your criteria.

If you’re single, and let’s hope you are (otherwise stop reading and spend this time with your spouse), you need to be online in some capacity. Capitalize on opportunities in person, but also have a presence on the Internet. Date online, date offline, or any line that leads to companionship. Relying on the internet dating as a sole means to build a relationship is rather cowardly, as it takes no courage to email someone, so try to find balance in all the possible avenues.

Also, it’s very important to date in your league. If you’re 47, don’t email 26 year olds. That’s too young don’t you think? Sure the Internet is public domain, once you register you can communicate with whomever you want, but don’t email anyone you wouldn’t have the courage to talk to in person. If you date women half your age in real life, sure email that demographic online. If however you are doing it for thrills, I suggest play a video game instead, or bungee jumping. We need to control our urges online, and have integrity for how we communicate with others. Just because the keyboard has letters on it, doesn’t mean you should always use them. It’s online “dating”, not online “lusting”.

Dating online is right for you because everyone is connected. Social media, email, and cell phones allow accessibility to those we know and don’t know. Have fun with it. Most of the time when people say, “it’s not for me”, they haven’t’ even explored the opportunity. You’re not going to know until you register and get involved. Take a chance and see if you enjoy the process. Send a few texts, upload a photo and apply a filter; it might be fun.

For the fellas…ladies love a man who is playful with technology. What is there to lose by sending a few emoticons? Take a duck face picture or a selfie from above your head. The small gestures that show a sense of humor are the playful things that make us smile in the beginning, and having fun is what it’s all about when a new connection is being built.

It comes down to embracing a platform that isn’t going away. Ten years ago it was taboo to date online, and now it’s common. Who knows what will happen ten years from now, but we have to embrace where we are to get to that place. There will always be people to complain about something new, but don’t make that you. Accept it. Embrace it. Capatilize on how it can enhance the already wonderful life you live.

How An Escort Can Save Your Relationship

Изображение
Why do men cheat, especially with escorts? This is the million dollar question of the day.  The question that’s been asked by  Oprah, Redbook, Essence Magazine, Dr. Phil , and a host of other sources trying to get to the bottom of this domestic issue. And the answer is (Drum roll Please) Variety…. Every man has his own reason for wanting to participate in this particular vice, and it’s not always for reasons that you may think of like sex and perversion.  Because lets face it- If it’s only about sex, he can do that alone and at home, for free.  More than likely, the answer lies somewhere between lack of intimacy and the love of variety, and for the men that want variety, there’s really no exact cure unless he gets caught. Men that desire variety can cheat forever, and that’s why you have men that “Hobby” (industry term) for 10, 20, and 30 years.  It’s the excitement of being with someone new, without having to do the whole courting and dating thing. Then you hav...

Lost in Translation

Dear Bitter Single Guy:   Throughout my life I’ve always been the big brother or the best friend to most girls. Recently, a few people said they like me. But then said they “have a thing with someone else” or “were just too good of friends”. I haven’t been in a relationship for awhile. I was wondering if you could tell me how to move past being the best friend or the second option? ~More Than Friends~ https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Canada/Quebec/city-of-Quebec.html?page=7 https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Canada/Alberta/city-of-Slave-Lake.html?page=7 https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Canada/Ontario/city-of-North-York.html?page=7 https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Canada/Ontario/city-of-Markham.html?page=7 https://www.loveawake.com/free-online-dating/Canada/Saskatchewan/city-of-Yorkton.html?page=7 Dear MTF:  The Bitter Single Guy feels your pain, brother.

In Memory of a Cat and a Relationship

Изображение
  Even though we’ve been broken up and officially ‘just friends’ for years, there was one part of my relationship with Only Child that lived on – our cat Tino. When we moved in together, I was convinced that my cat AppleButt, who had a kitty roommate in my previous place, was lonely. So I insisted on adopting another cat to keep her company. Only Child resisted the idea and, in fact, didn’t even come with me to pick him out. Instead I brought a friend and we fell in love with the most handsome male cat in the shelter. He was frisky but loving, beautiful but rugged and, according to his profile at the upscale coastal shelter, was found “in the bad part of town.” I insisted that OC come to the shelter to meet him and, just as I thought, we brought him home that day. We named him Valentino because of his sheer handsomeness. He quickly became “Tino” – and a member of the family. Not that everyone was thrilled with his presence. AppleButt had apparently decided that no other cat c...
