THE HERsterical SIDE OF INTERNET DATING

My experience with Internet dating has balled down to this. I have met very nice men on the Internet. I have had long conversations with some of them, I have dated some of them and I even had sexual relations with a couple of them, all within a two year span. The advantage of Internet dating is meeting numerous people you wouldn't normally meet in one's daily life. If you join an Internet dating service be serious about it. You must be willing to get engaged or married if the person seems right for you. You must be willing to get right down dirty and have sex with a few of these desperate souls. You must be willing to sell a little bit of your soul in order for you to find a new and different kind of soul mate. I, apparently wasn't willing to do much of the above. I couldn't go outside of my "ideal man" and I let a few of the real good ones go on to pursue someone else. I really wasn't ready to get married and dedicate my life to any one man's schedule, and sometimes one has to do these things to make the man feel secure about his life. I wouldn't meet most of the men I communicated with on the Internet and/or the telephone therefore I limited my chances of meeting a possible "Mr. close to being right". I was serious about finding a friend/mate, but I wasn't serious enough about following through with the whole dating scene. I just didn't commit myself enough to find love on the Internet. I personally believe that Internet dating is a fantastic outlet to meeting people and I am not trying to dissuade anyone else from using this tool. I have tried a couple of Internet dating services and I am still alone. I am, obviously not the only one having a problem finding their "perfect mat" because 95% of the men who were on the Internet when I joined the dating services are still profiled and apparently still looking. I will probably continue to use the Internet as a dating tool periodically because you will never know what lies in one's future. I might meet someone as selective as I am.....but that will be yet another book.
