Why you should try online dating
Published on August 6, 2018
I wonder now if young people even meet the same way they did just a few decades ago. According to Statista 30% of US internet users in 2017 ages 18-29 used an online app or dating site. The site most used in January of 2018 is Match.com
So should you try it just because all the cool kids are doing it? Absolutely! Seriously, though, young people set the tone for what is the standard of the times in my opinion. Most people will try something new and tend to want to keep up with the trends if they can…so I think there’s plenty of people trying which means plenty of people to meet.
So some good reasons one should try online dating are:
- You can be in more control of who you date or at least have more options to choose from.
- You don’t rely on chance as much…although there’s always some level of randomness to life!
- For many people, it’s the most effective option.
- Provides a good platform for building social and, more specifically, dating skills.
- A faster process for first dates for many people
- You can pick the place where you feel most comfortable to meet as opposed to random locations (or loud, smokey ones).
- It opens your dating pool way up.
- It’s a small price to pay for a lot of perks in the dating world.
- You get more of what you want from your dating life.
- Your calendar becomes full of adventures for months to come.
I could go on and on about why you should try online dating, but here are the simple facts: online dating, if nothing else, will create an opportunity for you to add an exciting chapter to your life. For many of us, dating life without an online option means no dates at all. You get to make the choice to add a tool that, with some persistance, will create the adventure of going on many more first dates. Second, with online dating you pretty much know what you are getting yourself into. It’s better than a blind date, trust me! Finally, more people are meeting and falling in love online than ever before and that number is just going to continue to grow and grow. All of this says to me, “What have I got to lose?” I could sit at home another lonely night or I can get out there and start connecting with people today.
Life is an adventure, live like it is. Take that chance because, in the end, it’s the chances that you didn’t take that you will regret. I could waste your time with numbers and statistics, but is that what you’re reading this article for? My guess would be no. My guess would be you want some information from someone who has tried online dating and has had success because we don’t do things just to fail. And so often I think people just want to find someone who can convince them to do what they already know, deep down, that they want to do. And I’m happy to be that guy if you need me to be.
We all want to be successful, and so how do we go about it. We learn from other and we do research on how to be successful at what we are interested in. Brad’s story is an online dating success story. He went from being unsuccessful with online dating to be very successful with online dating, and he shares it all with you on this site. His ways to improve your dating profile and dating life just provide a shortcut to what’s already waiting for you out ther.
I also am sharing my online dating experience with you in hopes that it will all lead you to the same conclusion. Hey, we can see better results with online dating through the eyes of these regular guys that put it out there for us to see. What they went through, why they think its worth it to try online dating, why they say an online paid dating site may be a better place to do your business because they found that people are more serious on an online dating site, and so on. We have used free sites like POF.com and paid sites like Match.com and we let you know what worked best for us. So going in you know what to expect. I suggest that you read Brad’s FREE guide to online dating. Really no surprise in what comes along in online dating can creep up on you once you’ve read the guide and a few articles on this site.
Brad tells you how with his guide and I tell you about my experience with online dating. So basically you’re getting both sides of the coin: you’re getting the interworkings of the online dating world and the methods to navigate it. Plus you’re getting an up close and personal experience with online dating. My thoughts are if you’ve read this article and are trying to decide if you want to try online dating, go for it! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose really, other than maybe a few lost nights if you end up on a few bad dates (but that’s a part of the deal).
An investment in your love life is an investment in the rest of your life. We only have a few choices in life, the way I see it. You can either give up on looking for options or you can go for it. There is no better feeling to me than going after what you want and getting it. No one is saying this is easy because it’s not…trust me, I know. Some people are better at it than others, but having some tools for the job helps. So again, I recommend you download Brads guide as it will give you some tools you need for success. Take the time to read some of the articles and try to avoid making some of the mistakes I’ve made.
Thanks for reading and good luck with your online search for love!
