CAN YOU FIND "THE ONE FOR YOU" IN CYBERSPACE?
YES........WHY NOT!
Can you find "the one for you" in Cyberspace?
Yes... Why Not? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Go for it! Check out the online dating services, join
one, write an ad, and see who comes your way.
The worst-case scenario is that maybe you will not
meet Mr. or Ms. Wonderful right off the bat, but
you may meet some new friends in exotic locales,
as well as improve your writing skills.
Seriously now, millions and millions of people are
using the Internet each and every day. People are
connecting with one another. Loving relationships
are forming every second of every day, 365 days a
year. Who is to say that you could not be one of
those people who finds "the one for you" right here
on the Internet?
Some of you may think personal ads are for losers:
After all, you must be desperate to try to meet
someone this way, right? WRONG! If they did not
work, you would not see the number of ads that
you do. Personal ads are everywhere: in countless
websites, telephone introduction systems, and in
nearly every newspaper in the world. Just look at
your daily newspaper: in major cities it is not
uncommon to see more than one full page, plus
telephone voice ads and messaging. You will be
amazed to find pages of ads at your fingertips from
people seeking the same thing that you do:
friendship and love.
Many professional men and women place these
ads. Personal ads, in all forms, are ideal for people
whose lifestyle does not give them the opportunity
to meet new people and engage in social
interaction. Technology today has strapped many
of us to our desks at work, where all we seem to
do is respond to voicemail or e-mail. It's not
uncommon in the workplace to have
communicated with someone for several years
without ever having met that person. For many of
us, our lifestyle prevents us from meeting other
single people. Quite possibly, you are not meeting
the type of person you want to meet from within
your own social circle. Placing an ad opens up the
opportunity to meet others who are in a similar
situation and are having difficulty, for whatever
reason, meeting people who are available for dating
or a relationship.
I personally believe in the singles sites approach to
personal ads. Compared to other forms of ads that
are not Internet based, this medium is more
versatile, much quicker, and more spontaneous. It
allows you to write your own ad, post a picture,
and even add audio if you so desire. When you
wish to contact another person, it allows you to
send a message to his or her mailbox, or instant
message another person who is online for a live
"conversation."
Whether you choose online ads, written ads, or
telephone ads, these mediums provide the
potential to get to know someone gradually over
time, first by e-mail or letter, then through
telephone conversations, and eventually by
meeting one another face to face. It is less harsh
than a blind date, because you have already gotten
to know one another before you meet in person. If
your lifestyle is preventing you from meeting new
people, a personal ad on the web, or in the
newspaper, may be just the ticket you need to
meet "the one for you."
