Dating Online And The 30-ish Woman
Life just isn’t fair, is it? Men seem to get all the breaks. You’ve devoted most of your 20′s to establishing your career. It really is not that you haven’t been dating at all – you have, just not seriously. Now here you are 30 something and there is no long term relationship on the horizon.
You can actually hear your biological clock ticking away. You have only a few years to find a man to fall in love with, get him to fall in love with you, get married, and have a child or it’s lights out. You already know all of the men in your social circle. Not that they aren’t nice enough guys, some of them anyway, but none of them is really your soul mate. Just what is a girl supposed to do?
Think about online dating. You have the opportunity to read hundreds of profiles and look at hundreds of pictures in search of that someone that will be right for you. Maybe he lives in the same city you do, maybe he will live across the country or even across the sea! You aren’t limited to just those men that you come in contact with personally. The possibilities are almost infinite.
Isn’t online dating unsafe, you may ask? Aren’t the online dating agencies made up entirely of perverts, predators and crazies in assorted shapes and sizes? the short answer is, no they aren’t – not any more anyway, if they ever really were.
Perhaps that was true when online dating first came on the scene but now it is above board. It’s as safe as you make it using common sense and sound judgment. Use the same precautions that you would when meeting any stranger: ie don’t give him your full name, address or cell phone number until you feel quite comfortable doing so.
These days, the Internet is more regulated than previously. It is still very open, but now there are many honest business people on the net who regulate their websites, including dating agencies, in order to stop the trouble makers. You can help make Internet dating safer too by telling the webmaster of the online dating agency if one of the members acts obnoxiously while online. I’m sure the miscreant will be banned.
Don’t rush into a face-to-face meeting until you are confident and then make the first meeting in a public place and during the daytime. Give it a try! Mr. Right just might be a few mouse clicks away
