I found love on a....

During recent years, dating has inconvenient for people. Dating sites such as Christian Mingle, E-harmony, and Match were designed to help people potentially find the love of their lives. All you do for these websites is take a quiz about your personality, write a bio, and post a picture. And with these three things you are thought to find love and at the same time weed out the people who you would never be interested in. Dating sites were geared towards the exhausted people who have been looking for love (http://youtu.be/lGBqPnZi4bw) and for the people who are too busy in life to go out and explore the world of dating.


So what is it about dating sites? Recently, my friends have been talking about joining one because to them they are tired of finding lust in the clubs and bars. They want true love right here and now. But since when has dating become such an inconvenience to people? Such an inconvenience in fact that people run to those dating websites, and hope to find someone by next week. But what do you gain or lose when you are using a dating website? Well for one you can gain confidence. When "meeting" someone on the internet you can really tell a person how you feel about them because there is no face to face meeting and no intimidation. Face to face communication is in jeopardy because you spend more time online finding someone, and communicating with them that when you meet you already know everything about them so there is not that much to communicate. It takes the element of surprise out of dating.

Compared to our parents generation, I think that dating has lost it's element of surprise and has become inconvenient to people. Our parents did not have the complication of the internet to find love, they had to meet people through friends, or at places. Our generation is taking out the leg work, and making it so that we can find love through a computer screen by posting a bio and a picture. I leave you with this commercial about dating websites.
