Our lives have been taken over by technology one system or device at a time. The average American spends a great deal of time typing away on their phones, sending emails, surfing the web, tweeting, or posting a picture on Facebook. People are “keeping up” with family and friends without ever having to pick up a telephone, or going to visit a person that may be clear across the world.
If we spend the majority of our time using technology or being on the Internet, has the Internet become a place where we can do just about anything; can we even meet the love of our lives?
Places like Match.com and EHarmony have thousands of members, and commercials that claim that tons of people have found a match through their websites. Do you believe the hype? Do you think that it will soon become ideal for a person to type in their user name on a website, surf through a few profiles “carefully” outlining what each guy likes to eat for breakfast, schedule a few dates, and start over next week? Then after tons of clicks, you finally click on Mr. or Miss Right?
Here is the kicker for me… you write out this beautiful profile describing Jesus and making people think you look like Halle Berry, then they meet you in person and what you wrote was far from the truth. More lies to weave through! I just can’t get with the idea of meeting someone on the web, feeling safe to meet them in person, and then going back online to set up a few more dates. If it works for you, then by all means explore the options that will yield you success in a relationship, and please come back and tell us all about it!
Finding your mate via the web might soon take over the future, and then I will have to “keep up” and make sure my online dating game is tight. People have even come up with tips and tricks on how to create “winning” profiles. I can’t believe this! I have decided to practice for the future by writing what the opening to my profile would look like:
We are not the same; I am a Martian!
Good enough?
What do you think about finding your match through the web?

I know people who have found love over the internet and I know others who have tried it and things didn't work out. For me personally, I feel like people aren't themselves online and it's hard to gauge the persons' true personality and morals. I think I would have to pass on online dating for myself.
I agree! I am going to stay old fashion...meeting men at the bar it is. lol -The Socialite
