Canadian Best Online Dating Sites
Hello everyone! My name is Jen and I’m writing to share my experiences with online dating because I know I was looking for other people’s stories when I decided to try it! I am in my early 30′s, and I’m really busy with my career so I didn’t really have time to go out to the bars and meet guys the ‘usual’ ways. To be honest, I hate going out to singles clubs and going through all that bother just to meet guys who only seem to want to think about that night! I had some other friends who had been going on interesting dates with guys they met online and they all said I had to try it. So, I finally said I would give it a shot!
I was a little reluctant because I had previously tried one of the cheapie cell phone singles services, but it seemed to me like they just sort of spammed me with computer-generated messages that weren’t even specifically targeted at me! So this time, I followed the advice that some of my friends gave me and I decided to try out Match.com’s online dating service. When I first visited their site and signed up, I was a little bit surprised by the fee they charged, which was about $100. But, after comparing their prices with other sites, I signed up. Besides, they have been in business for about 15 years, and site says they are #1 in relationships and marriages, and I hadn’t heard any complaints about them, so I figured why not give it a try?
I made my profile, which had some pictures and some writing (they just get you to write whatever you want instead of just answering questions, which I thought was pretty cool). I told them what I was kind of looking for in a partner, and then I just basically waited and started browsing some profiles of men in my area.
I felt pretty good about the way Match protected my privacy, and I only received emails anonymously through them. I only had to reply to the ones I chose to reply to. I looked at lots of photos of guys in my area, and I could even search for people from around the world, although I wasn’t really interested in finding someone who lived far away.
I did feel a little disappointed at first because it seemed like I was only meeting people who I had pretty much no interest in dating! On the other hand, I guess I am a little picky when it comes to dating guys! My friends just said to be patient and to give it a chance, because it only takes one really awesome guy and that’s it!
It wasn’t long after all, before I found a really sweet guy who I thought was interesting enough to actually meet. He lived in the same part of town as me, and we shared many of the same interests, like cooking and running, and we liked lots of the same movies. I did meet lots of other guys who I thought maybe were okay, but I stopped corresponding with them all once I met Josh. I guess I am really glad that I didn’t have to give any reasons or let them down or anything, because I totally hate being in really awkward situations like that!
So Josh, the really nice guy I did finally hook up with, was really funny and charming and we got along really well right from the moment we met. But, I kind of knew we would from chatting with him, so it felt really comfortable to go out the first time. We have gone out several times now, and I must admit that, even though I was skeptical at first, using Match.com has turned out to be a really good decision for me! I seriously doubt I would have been lucky enough to bump into someone as compatible with me as Josh randomly at the bar or something like that!
I guess the only other thing I sort of would classify as bad about this whole experience for me is that I do find it a little embarrassing telling some of my family members and older friends about how I met Josh, because some people (DAD!) can be really closed minded and assume that anyone who I could meet from the internet MUST be some kind of creep or something. But, I know Josh is really nice, and most people my age don’t bat an eyelash when I tell them we met online. I think that it is becoming way more common nowadays, and it is kind of smart when you think about it. I mean, you get to check out their profile and then chat and then decide if you want to meet them, so it really cuts down on wasted time and weird, awkward moments and everything, And you at least know you are somewhat compatible before you even talk to them!
So, if you are trying to make up your mind about internet dating services, I would recommend that you give it a try. It really is sort of fun anyway, kind of browsing people’s profiles and everything, and you only live once! I guess no one can guarantee that you will find your perfect match, but I would give you much better odds than just randomly meeting people who look cute at the bar or blind dates etc. So, I say go for it!
