Many of us have never dated online, but are curious about the apparent
benefits. Online catalogues of singles can sure be intriguing, can't
they? We've compiled a list of some of the more frequently
asked questions to help you discover if online dating is right for
you.
1. Do people actually meet online?
YES! Hundreds or even thousands of people meet online every day.
People who meet through online dating services go on to have relationships
and even get married. Lets face it, with the number of people you
have access to through online dating, your chances for meeting someone
special are very good!
2. Is online dating safe?
Again, yes. In many ways, dating online is safer than most other
dating methods. With an online match, you set the pace of the relationship
- you can keep it to Email, use chat (even video or voice
chat) or progress to telephone conversations or face-to-face meetings
depending upon your comfort level. You can protect your identity
by using an anonymous Email account from a provider like Hotmail.
3. Why look for dates online?
With online dating, finding dates is easy, comfortable and convenient.
Search singles at your convenience from the comfort of your home.
If you see someone you like, you can make contact. You can put your
fear of rejection aside, if a person is not interested in meeting
you they simply will not respond or will respond with a "no
thank-you".
4. How do I get started with online dating?
Getting started is easy! Just choose the service that works for
you, sign up and create a profile. Remember that your online singles
profile is going to be making your first impression for you, so
take some time to make it right and that's it. You can look
for matches that interest you by searching the database and you
can make contact at any time.
5. What is better: online dating services or newspaper
singles ads?
There is no contest! Online dating services have more singles and
advanced matchmaking searches that help you to narrow the field
to the types of people that interest you. Online singles profiles
have photos and can even use voice and video. You also have more
choices in how to make contact - you can message quite safely
using chat (including voice or video) and Email or, when you're
ready, agree to a face-to-face meeting.
