I concluded that she must be either a bit weird or socially inept. Of course, you know I wouldn't be telling you all this if she had never met anyone! Sure enough, she met a guy online and fell in love. He didn't live in Bahrain either, he lived in her town!
Even one experience such as this in your own circle of friends is enough to make you reconsider your hasty judgments. So, could online dating really be the answer? Or, is best to just stick with the traditional method of meeting people, even though it hasn't worked out for you yet?
Well, let's say you're occupied with work all day, you go out twice a week with your usual group of friends (been there, dated them), and the rest of the time you're washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning your home (or more likely a combination of Facebook, TV and surfing the net); realistically, how many new 'dateable' people are you likely to meet?
Even if you met one new person a week, how many of those are likely to strike up any kind of connection with? Maybe one in a hundred, and that's if you're lucky. At that rate, it would take you two years to even meet someone that you feel really attracted to.
So, what if you want to speed up the process? You do the logical thing and sign-up to a dating site that has millions of people in its database. Isn't it still a bit like shopping for a laptop on Amazon?! Isn't it less 'real' than bumping into someone at a party?
