Internet Dating - Its Not For Geeks

ten months ago an old school friend ,and I were chatting over coffee, putting the world to rights as women do. She was crying her lack of success in meeting the "right sort" of men. I asked if she had try using an internet dating service, and the look of horror that quickly appeared on her face gave the instant answer - "of course not!" Internet dating, she informed me, was for the sad, desperate, geeky or freaky.

This type of response is typical of people from all walks of life. Why sadly? Because those who dismiss such services are missing a great opportunity.

The traditional argument for not using the web to meet someone is because it is not natural. So what is natural? Where was people traditionally met their husbands, wives, lovers, and friends? Statistically, past 50 years the most common place for meeting ones spouse has been the workplace. This is hardly surprising given the ever increasing amounts of time most people are finding themselves working. Other common meeting places include bars, nightclubs, and parties, and some lucky few meet their lifetime partner early in life at college or university. However, the working place remains number one for long term relationships and togatherness. The reason for this is simple; lasting long term relationships are usually born out of boost friendships, and strong friendships form over time. Spend eight hours a day five days a week with the same people and you will get to know them very well. It is not uncommon in the modern world to spend more time with your colleagues than with your family, an unfortunate but true fact of life.It is true that people get more enjoyment from them
