And I see Shahram, a friend of mine!! How strange to see a face I know there.
It got me to thinking about dating sites and their place in the scheme of todays dating world.
Two things go through my mind: the first is that I guess its not always easy for some to meet people out there in the real world these days. However, the so called ”virtual world’ is very much part of my world these days and like many people I use the interent for most things to save me from hours of long haul investigation. So why not search for a partner on the interent too. Its probably safer .. I mean you could meet a guy in a bar, under the influence of alcohol, your judgement might be impaired ….. Im thinking that behind a screen you could get to know someone and I guess that depends on the integrity of the people involved.
The second thing I was thinking was that it could also be a minefield. I have heard many stories from people I know about distasterous dates made via these sites. Many might view it as a place only to find sexual contacts…. nothing wrong with that so long as both know the score.
On the other hand I have three friends who met and are now married having met their husbands on a dating site. There’s even a tv programme about internet dating.
By the way Shahram is a really nice guy!!
