I am a big proponent of online dating and encourage all of my single clients to get online. I met my husband online but I have also seen hundreds of my clients have great personal and romantic success with online dating.
Why do I recommend online dating? For one, most of us lead very busy and full lives between career, friends, family and kids. There is not a lot of time where one is in the right place to meet eligible people.
With many demands on ones life as well as trepidation or fear about meeting new people, there is not a lot of time where one is in the right mind set to meet eligible people.
Even with all the time in the world, how many eligible people do you think you have an opportunity to meet each day?
Online dating allows you the opportunity to meet as many eligible people as you wish and to do so from the comfort of your home at a time that works for you. You will open the possibility of meeting people who you would never meet in your day to day life.
Dating can be scary and unnerving but it is a necessary evil if you want to meet the love of your life. The more you date, the more you will feel comfortable dating and in order to connect honestly with another person you need to be comfortable. You need to be yourself.
So online dating also serves another purpose and that is practice. Practice meeting new people. Practice saying yes and practice saying no. Practice setting boundaries. Practice sharing and practice holding back. You can learn so much about yourself as you go through the dating journey. But you have to be dating to learn and grow. Online dating gives you more opportunities and therefore opportunities for growth and more opportunities to meet the one.
In my next posts I will give you the steps on how to online date more successfully.
