Does Anyone Share this Opinion of Dating?
Question:
I have an opinion of online dating and am curious if anyone else shares it. I am an attractive 20 year old female who has been dating online for the past several months. I have been on a few dates, and get a few emails, enough to keep me busy. Out of about 10 emails I might respond to 1. I just feel that there is something missing with online dating, and am curious if anyone else feels the same. I feel that most guy's I choose will be the same male that every female chooses because of success, looks, or whatever. So when I go out with an attractive fellow from an online dating site, I feel like I am his 20th date of the day, and I'm in competition with every other women on the dating site.
I know this is most likely true in real life dating as well, but I think this feeling is enhanced with online dating. When I do go out on a date with a guy more than one time, I get the feeling like it is only a matter of time before another women will come along. But this is true for the offline world as well at times. I am also getting the feeling that any good looking man on there is only looking for sex, and not the relationship that I am seeking.
The whole thing is just a little bit odd to me, and I'm finding it difficult to keep any lengthy connections with the guys I meet because I have no connection to these guys in real life, other than our dates. I feel like online dating would work if I was okay dating not-so attractive guys. But, because I feel I'm attractive, I am looking for an attractive man, makes sense right? Is this sounding familiar to anyone? Does anyone else feel like this? I want to hear others experiences and opinions on the topic!
Answer:
That's just dating in general, online, or offline. Even when you meet up with folks the usual way, for example at parties, or through friends, and even at work, it's all just chance. Always.
What I hope to do when I'm dating online, or offline, is find someone that has the same views as I, the same outlook on the world, and a spark that attracts me. Online dating gives you a larger pool of individuals to draw from than the real world, so maybe you just have to work through all of your many choices.
If you're going for the men that all women would desire, it doesn't matter where your searching, or how you're meeting up with them (online dating sites, or in the real world), the issues remains the same.
