The Scoop on Online Dating
Alright BSG, what do you think about online dating websites? Do you think they are only for the mega desperate people that seem to be complete social failures? Or do you think that they are legitimate especially for those with busy lifestyles or are tired of the bar scene. Obviously I am debating joining one but I would rather think they are more like the second description…hopefully…. ~Sitting with Mouse Poised~
Dear SMP: The Bitter Single Guy thinks online dating is the bomb! Seriously SMP, the Age of The Internet has brought richness to our lives that was once unthinkable. All our holiday shopping can be done from the safety of our desks, tracking devices placed on pets and children can be monitored 24/7, and people with the creepiest fetishes can find each other and live happily ever after. What’s not to love!
The BSG covers online dating here in much greater detail, so he’ll refer you there. In short though, don’t expect your online dating experience to be like live dating and for heaven’s sake SMP don’t let online dating replace real dating. You’d be shocked at the number of BSG readers who write in that their online BF or GB…whom they have never met…is becoming distant. Yes, you read that right.
So provided you approach online dating like a job and don’t let your feelings get caught up in who does and doesn’t reply to your profile. Good luck SMP.

I have online dated and agree with Bitter Single Guy. Sure, I have had some bad dates, but more often than not it goes very well.
It’s funny, I remember when I first connected to the internet in 1994, my first thought was, “Somehow, someway, this is going to be used to get sex….” I am sure it was the same thought as those who saw the first guy driving around his neighborhood….
