Everybody’s doing it. Or not, as the case may be. But chances are, if you have been single at any point in the last few years, you have probably at least flirted with online dating. In fact, I know several committed couples who met each other on line and who are now married with kids or buying houses and investment plans together.
I think online dating can be a great way to meet people. It beats being thrown out of Loblaws for stalking fellow customers. (This has not actually happened to me, of course. I just have an active imagination. No, really.)
I have had several dates as a result of online dating, and the men I met were generally decent, normal guys. Ok, there were also a couple socially stunted guys who were a little too fond of their video games, superheroes and Star Wars action figures. But they were still nice enough guys.
Did you know there are dating sites for every possible special interest? For example Cougar Life is a site specifically tailored for older women looking to meet younger men. Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby is where you can meet someone who is just dying to fund your Manolo Blahnik collection. There are dating sites for every religion – and even for atheist singles, and sites for special interest groups. And – I’m not making this up --there’s even a site particularly for Vegan Atheist Singles. Now that sounds like a fun place to meet some one for a light-hearted evening!
Recently, a few women I know have been trawling the dating waters of a site for oldsters. There really is no other way to put it. I mean, the site calls itself “Senior People Date” or something like that.
