If You Wanna Be My Internet Lover
January 29th 2007 12:34
It’s not surprising that people have turned to the Internet for dating. Technology has weaseled its way into so many aspects of everyday living. We can do our banking, shopping, client liaisons, house-hunting, job applications, almost everything online. So why not take to the World Wide Web to find our soul mate?
I don’t have anything against the whole idea, which is not to say I’m not skeptical about the concept but I actually like the idea of stripping down the superficial and connecting on a personal level with someone you’ve never met before.
Generally speaking, most people let their guard down when chatting online. I have no idea why but I will speak to people I never even said ‘hello’ to at school about the most intimate parts of my life on MSN. So using myself as the rule, doesn’t that mean that Internet relationships are more honest? Therefore, wouldn’t they have a better chance than those based on mutual lust at a party?
I can’t speak from experience, the only person I met from interaction online wasn’t exactly to my tastes so I shied away from giving it another go but I’d like to know how it works for others.
Who’s met someone online?
What experiences have you had (the good the bad and the ugly)?
Who’s found true love online or has a valuable life’s lesson to share?
