Chapter 1 Getting to Know Online Dating

O nline dating. In the past few years it was a taboo topic. People who went online in search of a romantic experience didnt speak out about it. Online dating used to be a secret affair- one had to be really desperate to have to go online to meet someone. Times have changed.

The internet now has several online dating sites, with thousands of seekers signed up for love. These dating sites match potential partners based on profiles submitted by the members.

How does it work?

First of all, you need to sign up to a dating site. You create a profile by entering information and sell yourself. How you present or describe yourself in the profile is the basis for potential partners to either contact you or ignore you. Pictures or videos of yourself can be uploaded on some of these sites.

The idea is to introduce yourself to anyone out there on the internet, in an interesting way. The description of yourself should be attention-grabbing, to stimulate further contact. If someones interested in you, they can contact you and talk or set up a date.

Reasons for online dating

In the past, people who went online to get dates were looked down upon. They were often considered socially awkward for not getting dates personally in the real world. Well, that stigma has now changed. More and more people are now spending time online. With the advent of social media and dating sites, love and romance is sure to follow. There are now a range of dating sites, and even the popular app: tinder. Here are a few reasons why people go online to meet people - and hopefully, find the one:

• No obligations

Anyone can log in anonymously or give out just a few bits of personal information. You dont have to feel guilty about not liking the person or if they decline an actual date. There is this no strings attached thing that works online - you dont have to like a person or try hard to please someone you obviously dont want to see again.

• Less awkward moments

Some people get tongue-tied or uncomfortable approaching people and striking up an interesting, witty and funny conversation. Chatting online creates this anonymousness, a sense of being invisible yet present, which boosts confidence. Shy people can get surprisingly conversant online. The worry that they may not look beautiful enough or the constant worry about not having the perfect hair isnt there because the other cannot see them in real time. Not having to worry about less-than-perfect makeup can make someone more into the conversation, more focused on actually talking and just having a good time.

• More choices

The internet is one huge community. There are literally millions of people who could see your profile. Chances are, one is bound to be a match for you. Unlike in an office or a community, choices are limited because there are only a few you get to meet on a daily basis.

• Specialty

One key thing in relationships is finding a common ground, or shared interest to bring a mere acquaintance to a higher level of relationship - either a friend or a romantic partner. There are specialty dating sites where people of specific interests can meet and form relationships. Cat lovers can search on a site dedicated to them. People who go for going green can sign up to a dating site solely dedicated for them. Or, place these interests in your profile so that any one reading can immediately know if they share your interests or not. This takes a huge chunk off the awkwardness of the getting to know stage.

• Search options

To further narrow down your options and avoid much of the frustrating trial-and-error part of dating, some dating sites have a search option. Type in the characteristics you want in a date. The engine will automatically display a list of people who matches these characteristics. If you want to meet people between 25-30 years old who are also single parents, then the search option will display only those within these parameters.

• Compatibility

To further make a match more likely to succeed, online compatibility matching programs are also available. You dont even have to meet someone who is unlikely be a match for you. Let the site do the matching, check the profile to be sure and when you do get on a date (either online or real world), you are more or less assured that this will not be the kind of person you would want to stay away from.
