Online Dating for the Lonely Soul

Greg Seltz
Socially isolated, inactive, and aware; spending hours indulged within a social network consisting of fabrications and simple desires....the desire to "hookup." To want to be simply associated with another individual is common among many singles today. Joining the thousands of members engaged in browsing online personals is one approach to solving this problem. Easy as clicking the "register" button and creating your own fictional persona may extend multiple requests and arouse curiosities. A simple chat may soothe the impulse for social attention while providing attention to other daily responsibilities. Still hesitant? Give it a shot; it's simple, it's provocative ......it's free!

Want to be a charming doctor, devoted government employee, or creative arts major? Hundreds of websites will allow these fantasies to consume your reality. Now, there are neither restrictions nor recommendations; however, unless your goal is a quick pick-me-up chat, then go for it! Personally speaking, honesty and integrity and will pay off in the long run. By sharing your characteristics and hobbies in a publicly viewed profile, you may find your long awaited soul mate. Or they may find you. If you prefer a blond, blue-eyed devil involved in politics and protesting the new universal health care plan, simply type it below "preferences" and wait for a bite. Thousands of possibilities and opportunities await you.

Any further tips? As previously mentioned, be honest. By providing false details regarding your physical or mental attributes, you will likely regret it if/when a first date occurs. Be yourself. By meeting in an online website, the primary means of communication is email. For those of you a little on the shy side and desperate to impress, email will provide you the opportunity to think before you speak. Take all the time in the world to become comfortable with email before engaging in a live discussion. Finally, listen to what he/she has to say. Store their favorite drinks, etc. within your short-term memory so that you are able to act without asking; it will demonstrate effort and sincerity. Leave them with a good impression.

To conclude, a few of the websites that I have personally experienced and discovered outstanding results are OkCupid, DateHookup, JumpDates, DateMeDateMe, and even MySpace has introduced me to present company. For a few bucks more, you can become a member of other sites that may contain more serious, dedicated personals looking for that special someone. But I recommend the free sites firstly, as they are nearly as efficient and can provide a first-timer with a few stars and stripes before-hand.

    Funny! I met my guy online but not at a dating site. It was a health forum. We were both there to lose weight and neither one was looking for a date. We really just discovered each other and were drawn together as if by some big invisible magnet.

    I'm on a few of the free sites, but I tend to get idiots! I got one that said he was interested in dating me, but then puts, "how big is your boobies." I looked at his profile and it said he overcomes every "obstetrical."
