Interesting Videos on Online Dating and Relationships
Published on May 27, 2010
Someone recently pointed out to me some very interesting dating videos on YouTube. I watched quite a few of these and have to say they’re very interesting. I disagree with some of the advice given, but there are so many people interviewed I guess this is to be expected.
One video I really liked was about safety when dating online. The advice here was good and I really like the advice given regarding dating people who are closer to you (it’s an aspect I never considered). Here’s that video:
Another video I found interesting was on first date do’s and don’ts. It wasn’t so much because I agreed with it but more that I found some of the opinions expressed to be interesting. I’m not sure if the speaker in this video is actually saying “don’t talk about your job, don’t talk about dating, your cat, your family…” or if she is saying she was making fun of books that suggested not talking about those things. I had amazing success talking about dating when I was dating online because it helped us connect very quickly and sharing horror stories was fun. Also, I think I talked about many of these topics on my first date with the woman who would become my wife and that date went great.
So…yeah, I think there are areas that you shouldn’t talk about but I’m going to say things like your job, your family and your cat can all be on the table. Discussions on dating should also allowable if you are meeting through an online dating service. I agree, you shouldn’t turn the date into some type of therapy session but if we’re going to learn about each other we’re going to have to reveal something of substance at some point! Here’s the do’s and don’ts video:
There’s plenty of other videos to watch, all of which I found interesting sometimes if only for a few of the characters in them!
