A couple of years ago I remember the looks of pity my friend Jennifer would get when she mentioned she'd been trying online dating sites. Admittedly, at the time, I too thought she must be desperate. Couldn't she meet anyone in 'reality'? Didn't she ever talk to people at work or at parties?

I concluded that she was either a bit weird or socially inept. Of course, you know I wouldn't be telling you all this if she had never met anyone...sure enough, she met someone online, they fell in love, and now they're married.

Even one experience such as this in your own group of friends is enough to make you reconsider your hasty judgments. So, could online dating really be the answer? Or, is best to just stick with the traditional method of meeting people, even though it hasn't worked out for you yet?

Well, let's say you're busy all day at work , you go out a couple of times a week with your usual group of friends, and the rest of the time you're doing chores and sleeping; realistically, how many new 'dateable' people are you going to come across?

Even if you managed to date, or even chat beyond pleasantries with one new person a week, how many of those are likely to strike up any kind of connection with? One in a hundred? At that rate, it would take you two years to even meet someone that you feel really attracted to.

So, what if you want to speed up the process? You do the rational thing and sign-up to a dating site that has millions of people in its database. Isn't it still a bit like shopping for a laptop on Amazon?! Isn't it less 'real' than bumping into someone at a party?

Is sending someone a message any less 'real' than saying it directly to them? Be honest, which do you do more of these days? Be still more honest, aren't messages and emails preferable when you're feeling a little nervous or anxious?

Chatting to a stranger that you like the look is far from being easy! opening communication is way easier through online dating sites. No more nervous chat-up lines and stuttered introductions. You can think carefully through what you say and ensure that you present yourself in the right way.

To summarize, not so long ago online dating could be viewed like a last resort for lonely people. Now though, I'm convinced that it's definitely the best starting place for finding a partner. Let's say you communicate with just 10 new potentials per week as a result of using online dating sites - even if only 1 of those turns out to be eligible, you've increased your chances of meeting someone by over 1000! You can't argue with that!
