Online Dating : The Endless Supply Source

Online dating is the new up and coming way for people to meet. Whether it for professional networking purposes, or personal, it has become the modern way to meet and greet.  It can be a great tool and wonderful asset if used properly and under advisement. You can literally broaden your horizons thru the use of some of these sites. But, you must be very careful which sites you use . Some of them maybe better than others and I am unable to give an honest and objective critique on all of them as I have not experienced them all and I am pretty new to this. I have been curious as hell  about it though. I  had first considered it to be the last vanguard of the desperately lonely. And yet, I am finding it a lot more different than I once thought. So, I am mostly relying on the use of my common sense and maybe a little help from a few friends.

The choices are endless for both sides of the divide. All shapes, sizes, nationalities, blue collar, white collar, no collars, short, tall, real tall (I like those, wink wink) in between, intelligent, crazy as hell, fun, not so fun, sexy-sexy, just sexy, and not sexy at all. I could go on and on. Possibilities are endless, and there in lies the rub. Those endless possible choices.

How many do you date at a time? What should be your clue that it is safe to go meet this person? ( ladies, men worry about this as well, there are so really scary females out there). What are you expecting from that meeting and subsequent associations? Should you make a list of what you want from a relationship, or should you just ride it out and see how it develops? Or, should you have that discussion  before your first encounter or during? Decisions, decisions. You need to make them. Maybe not right away for some, but at some point you need to get real.

You may find yourself involved with a person who will seem to be confused by these endless possibilities. You will know them by the fact that if you should so happen to go back on the sites and they will be in those chat rooms, like an itch they can't scratch. You will get excuses, like the site hasn't deleted my account yet. Or, I was just checking my in box. ( the question for that would be why? if you have decided to be in a relationship). They will suddenly break dates without warning, likely at the last minute and will not be able/unwilling to understand your consternation and disappointment. More likely making you feel selfish for your lack of understanding. ( classic jeti mind trick).You may notice that in their phones they will have you and others listed by something than just your name. It may your age, occupation, or some other means to index you.  ( you are being categorized and filed, pay attention). You are one of many choices, which is ok to some extent. But, when will that person make the decision to settle for one, if this is what you are seeking. Be prepared to be over whelmed and also be prepared for online trawler.  More about That ONE on a later post.
My A D D is kicking in so I'll post some more later. right now I hear the ice cream truck...
