Today there are many reasons to use an online dating service instead of using the traditional single bars scene.
The main reason of course is convenience.
You can find someone with the qualities you are looking for right from the easy chair in your living room with your laptop if you wish.
It's just that easy! Why sit in a noisy bar where you have to shout at a possible partner just to be heard? At home you can have a private chat with someone, or in the case of our site even a video chat with someone and not be bothered by any other circumstances than possibly your television.
And you can always turn that off.
Try turning off the band in a bar.
Plus if the person whose profile you like online is not actually online, you can always send them a private message that they will see as soon as they log in or check there email.
Another reason to use an online dating service is that it is much easier to handle being rejected.
If you get rejected in a bar, everyone sees it and as is in one case with myself, I was actually approached a little later in the bar by her boyfriend and had to kindly explain that I did not know she was with anyone.
If you get rejected online, so what, you move onto the next person.
No big deal.
No nervousness at all.
Not to mention the benefit that you get from building your confidence online flirting with people, that also builds your confidence to flirt with people offline also.
Of course the amount of partners available for you to choose from online is way above the possibilities you would have from sitting in a singles bar.
The only thing you have to watch for is that you are talking to local people and not people who are 500 miles away.
Plus the chance of finding someone who is exactly what you are looking for in a bar is virtually impossible.
You don't know anything about a person when you are talking to them in a bar.
But online you can scan through profiles looking for the characteristics you choose.
But you have to remember, everyone is doing the same thing, so if you are not honest in your profile, you will suffer for it in the long run.
So now you can understand some of the reasons why online dating has much more of an online presence than it did when the internet first started.
It is because it is very effective at picking out compatible partners.
So get out there and join some sites and have some fun!
