Does Online Dating Work?
Does online dating really work? What a question! I did a Google search for this term and found plenty of results, but most of them are just full of advertising and don’t actually give any answers. Shame that so much of the internet has gone that way, but I digress…
I’m going to use this blog to tell you all about my personal dating site adventures, and I hope that it will end some day with me posting a photo of my wedding day and telling you all to sod off! But seriously, I hope that my experiences will be of some value to someone out there.
So a bit about me then… I’m still under thirty (only just) and in case you were wondering, no there is absolutely nothing wrong with me! I look after myself, I’m fit, I look okay (better than most anyway!) and I have a well paying job. I have a good life, I have no children, never been married, no baggage and I think I’m a pretty good catch! This isn’t a sales pitch, I just thought you should know who you’re dealing with, and what chances of finding love online I should have.
I have pretty high standards too, probably too high for me to be able to justify! Definitely too high for me to justify actually… It certainly reduces the pool of potential dates, but there are plenty of smart and beautiful girls out there, so why not aim high? Maybe if I’m still not hitched by the time I’m forty I’ll have to reassess my ‘standards’!
I registered on popular dating site RSVP quite a few years ago, and in between ‘real’ girlfriends I’ve used it to meet other girls. I’ve lost count of the number of girls I’ve been out with from the site, but only a handful have been good enough to graduate to a second date. I’ve only slept with one of them, but there has been plenty of other ‘action’ with some of them. Don’t take that the wrong way, I don’t use these sites for one night stands, I’m genuinely looking for something real, but I’ll take whatever else is on offer in between. I’m a young man, I have needs you know!
That’s enough for post one. Over the coming weeks I’ll start writing about some of these dates. Maybe some profile tips would be good, plus whatever other entertaining things I happen to come across. I may even write about non-dating site dates, but we’ll see…
