Online Dating: The Perks of Computer Love

Dating is a weird state for anyone. Whether one is considered a serial dater, or just jumping back into the dating pool, the events can be awkward, nerve-wracking, and difficult to come about. Most of the date is spent hoping the best thing is said, and the most attractive first impression is presented. Nerves of chemistry, butterflies, and sparks flying crowd the cognitive, and nerves stay entangled with “what does that look mean,” to “is another drink too much,” to “are they even interested?” It can be hours of guessing if the date is going well, if one should expect another one, and how many other nights are they doing this exact thing?! The whole “am I special,” mental debate is occurring upstairs, while down below you just want to make sure you don’t have lipstick on your teeth. All these considerations exist IF you are enjoying yourself. It’s a whole other dance in the park if you decide this date seriously needs an immediate exit strategy.

Early Termination

Hence the positives of internet dating. Not only do you have a large selection to dabble in, but you can make your cuts instantly by reading bios, or even hosting and carrying on conversations via messaging. By being able to cut out those incapable of sustaining your interest past paragraph one, you keep your Friday night. You do not have to sit through dinner conversation, or be at the mercy of the one you know you are not calling back, by having the opportunity to decipher early on the chemistry has fizzled, or failed to create.

Understanding Objectives

Another good aspect of online dating is that those involved clearly have the same objectives. No one is judgmental, and all enrolled are presumably after the same thing….love. While some may state their alternative intentions early on (i.e. casual dating or friends), the point of “desperation,” is shared. Most have tried and failed at the traditional meet and greet, and are tired of wasting time and being wrong. You can be better guaranteed that anyone you meet is present with true intentions, and “playing games,” has been a long dead past time, and pursuing something serious is more on the agenda. Sharing commonalities is pivotal in lasting courtship, so intention is a great thing to initially be on the same page about, pun intended.

Less Stress

You do not have to worry about blind dates, or picking the best place to venture to “casually,” meet someone, or accidentally run into the man or woman of your dreams. No longer is research necessary to locate where the best place to migrate will be that will nest “your type.” You don’t have to try the bar around the way after working hours just to find the stressed, attractive single needing a drink after his lucrative paying job has served him a trying day. No longer do you have to migrate clubs or house parties, wondering if every person who has passed you their number has mastered the move on someone, or even everyone else. You can scroll and pilot from the privacy of your home, in whatever attire you desire, hair messy and make-up free. When someone catches your eye, it’s not a dash for his eye, but rather a click, type, send, and wait his reply.
