Online Dating, Seems to be Just That!

Online dating seems to be exactly for most part what it says. I know so many people who tell me that they talk to someone for months without meeting them. I'm not sure why, especially if you are only let's saying maybe an hour away if that. I know we all or most of us live hectic or busy lives but if you are truly into meeting the person whom you are talking to for several weeks or month wouldn't you want to meet? One of my close friends tells me how long she talks to some of these men and when she replies months and has not yet to me them I'm a bit frazzled. Can't help to wonder why? I tried the online dating and although it was very short lived, I had many great dates. I even had days I had more than one date a day. It was new and fun, I was never really ever single so I thought I would give it a try but I didn't continue this back and forth bullshit. We spoke briefly online, talked on the phone and went on a date. I have to say most were great dates and I was lucky enough that all the men I met wanted a second date but by the time I was trying to have a second date I had so many new people it became too hard. So for me it was successful for dating not sure it's all that for the long haul. Most of the men I met came with things they seem to be still sorting through. I did end up dating a few guys that were very nice for a couple of months each but I ended up dating someone I met in person. I don't think that the online dating is as successful as people may think. I also think that it becomes a habit. Maybe for people who are married, in a relationship or just wants to pass time in their free hours of the day or night. So don't get tangled up with an online talker. That is what you are looking for, it's better to meet and if it doesn't work move on. I hear people talking for months and they meet only to never speak again. Unless you want an online buddy stop hiding behind the phone and get out.. Cut the chase and go right for the date and if the person you are talking to is giving you the run around move on and find someone that is looking for the real thing a relationship! XO Barbara Jeanne
