To Join Or Not To Join

In today’s digital age where living without the internet is possibly a life not worth living, opening the door to online dating is really an emergence in a change in human behaviour to embrace social and digital technology, to meet new people. That sounded super smart (*brushes shoulders*).

The concept of joining a dating website can seem a little daunting, desperate and demeaning. Personally, I find it fun and amusing at times. Don’t get me wrong, like any girl I hope to meet my prince but in the process meet a few friendly / weird frogs too. I could write another blog post on the weird, outrageous and somewhat inhumane creatures I have met or been messaged by, so shall leave that for another day.

When I first joined a dating website it resulted in the following: 630 interests in first 3 weeks and over 4,000 profile views! Let me add to the stats – 300 interests were in 48hours! Yes – I am boasting, but even Cheryl Cole or Kim Kardashian wouldn’t get that! I did feel like a celebrity checking through my fan mail at times, but it was a tough job and someone had to do it!
Joking aside, here is my theory to help you decide if online dating is right for you.
