Blind Date? Try Online Dating For a Better Success Story

Going out on a Blind Date? Think Again!

The problem with blind dates is that your friends and family feel that they know best who you should end up with. When you show up on the blind date, either of two things could happen -- you end up having dinner with the least person you would hang out with or you end up finding the guy interesting but he is not the least bit interested in you.

Have you ever heard of a successful blind date story? I have, one in about, oh, a hundred stories. The other 99 blind date stories ended up with one of the pair becoming an unwanted stalker, the others in the meanwhile ended in about 5 minutes. If you want to end up wasting your time and you have nothing else better to do, then go ahead and get set up on a blind date.

However, you should know that there is a better alternative.

Cyber dating is the better alternative and no matter how much other people say it's dangerous, the trick is, well, being careful about giving too much details about yourself too soon. If you go online dating, you will be able to choose the most interesting person you meet on the internet.

If you join an online dating service, you will be able to have your pick among the many that will answer to your "ad" and you can look and see which one could hit it off with you. You will have the chance to get to know this person better before you even agree to giving him your e-mail address.

If things go well online, then that is the only time that you agree to meet up with him and when you do, the first date will be like going out with an old friend. You will have lots to talk about because you know that you have common passions. Now how's that for a first date?
