Online Dating

Online dating has quite the stigma surrounding it. The unattractive, overweight creepers who put up inaccurate pictures of themselves and fool unsuspecting victims.

I was fortunate enough to not have that be my experience with online dating. Why the stigma when there are so many success stories? I agree that there are also the horror stories. Troy could tell you a couple dozen including one real life horror with a girl named Barbie.

 I believe that everything in life is what you make it. There is good and bad to everything. Do we stop using the internet because it has terrible things on it or do we seek out the good? Do we not watch movies because there is such trash out there, or do we find the positive? Do we give up on love because we failed once, or do we keep searching? Do we reject online dating because of the stereotypes, or do we use it as a great tool and try to pursue what's valuable?

It's interesting how some are lucky enough to find the perfect match quickly and others have to search much longer and harder. I met Troy on only my 4th first date. I continued dating others for a while until I felt it was pointless and I realized I had who and what I wanted. On the other hand I was Troy's 115th first date. So why do some people find compatibility quickly and others don't? The answer to this is puzzling and I'm not sure we'll ever know. I'm grateful that for whatever reason I got to be one of the people to find it quickly. And I'm also grateful that Troy didn't give up after 80....or 100…or 114. :)

Would I have ever met this man if I wouldn't have online dated? Never in a million years. Would I have learned everything I learned in such a short amount of time if I hadn't of online dated? Never in a million years.

There is definitely a stigma that surrounds online dating but the key is to know how to use it and find the positive in it. Technology these days is amazing!!!
