Getting It On-Line Exclusively


Obviously if one is interested in a people search through a wide population of people for dates and one can find that wide population with speed and accuracy, and a minimum of expense, one will most likely gravitate towards those areas where one can find this population. Furthermore, if one could be assured anonymous searching, a certain privacy to communications and ultimately the ability to accept or reject potential partners without ever having to reject or accept them face-to-face, one would also find this ability to be an advantage.

Because on-line dating allows the single guy or girl all these advantages and more, on-line dating has become so every popular. In fact, in some cases, on-line dating is the only way single people date.

There is no denying how popular on-line hook-ups have become. Championed in T.V. advertising, banner linked from sites not even about dating, legitimatized by the sheer number of couples who have met and fallen in love because of it, the on-line dating world is really the only way some people meet these days and the only way they’d ever be comfortable meeting. Eschewing old modes of behavior, the net has become, for many of us, our new social world.
But there are disadvantages to on-line dating.

For one, what seems so nifty and neat an idea, being able to cull through hopefuls in online dating profiles and looking at posted pictures, is a static way of doing things. Meeting someone face-to-face for the first time one can almost instantly tell if a person’s laugh, the way there eyes sparkle, a smile, even if there body is to one’s liking. All manner of comments made, sarcasms offered, even a little naughty flirting would be lost in an email where they will never be in a conversation. And for some men and women, rifling through a stable of hopefuls that seem to jibe with one’s profile is just too scientific and sterile a process to garner any romantic feeling.

And dating people one only finds off online might be as restrictive as only dating people one finds in a club or at the grocery store.

Single people do well not to have a type, less they miss someone not seemingly their type who might indeed be perfect for them. And single people might do well to not restrict themselves to looking for their potential mate in only one way.

Intimate Strangers


It’s a sad state of affairs when an affair, romance or love life between a couple degenerates into the partners living like roommates. No longer able to find to find physical intimate common ground, so many couples simply stay together in a sexless relationship. Over time it even becomes manageable and in fact the old sex life both have let go becomes forgotten so much that the new way they live supersedes the old.

Still technically in love, often times the couple see more reason to stay together then be apart; even if they are not fucking anymore. Divorce is a meaty proposition-or a couple breaking-up-and if kids are involved why break up an otherwise happy home? All love is truly compromise, partners make constant concessions, surrender ever more of their individuality for a long term commitment, losing a sex life isn’t such a high price to pay for keeping a family together.
Of course by the time two people come to be intimate strangers they have probably shut-off the physical part of their lives long ago. It’s an insidious mindset that slowly creeps between two people where they slowly have sex less and less until they are sleeping in separate beds, maybe even separate rooms or parts of the house, but maintaining the appearance of a love affair for all that do not know them; or at least for those who do enter the home. Many times partners will take other lovers to explore kinks with, simply have sex with or even start whole other families with while still maintaining the first relationship.

While sex is not the most important aspect of relationship, to some people it is not important at all, and over a time some couples come to build on aspects of a life together that matter to them more. The human mind is quite adaptable and fully capable of great logical rationalizations and over time the less sex two people have the less they will want to have sex, until they get to a point that they do not even realize they are not having sex anymore and don’t even realize they are fully comfortable living the life they have built. To maintain a sex life decades into a long-term relationship takes a Herculean effort that some people simply are not equal to.

Internet Sex Dating


Internet sex dating is different than other online dating. For one, the expressed intent of single men and women who come on line strictly looking for sex is; that they are looking strictly for sex! This is not to say that some people don’t start out as fuck buddies then roll into a romance later on, or that people are all that successful with such a specific approach, but really when one leads with such clear-cut intentions at least there is no misunderstanding with what two people are looking for if they find one another.

It might not be exactly what all those on-line dating sites are advertising, but people fire-up their P.C.’s as much as for sex as they do love.

People who are looking just for on-line sex hookups and are doing so hoping to hedge their bets, find the specific person they’d be into, cut through the wonder and worry over attraction and long-term goals and get to the matter at hand. Of course there is no counting on face-to-face attraction, seeing someone’s profile picture pales with seeing them in person, but if two people are logging on with the express concern of finding someone to have sex with their initial criteria might be a bit less stringent then when they log on looking for a long-term romance’certainly less stringent when looking for a mate! With internet sex dating we are less worried about meeting Mr. or Miss Right as we are Mr. or Miss Right for this second.

For the most part this searching for a one-night stand or the occasional fuck is served well through the anonymity and facility of the web. The population we can cull through is large, the specific sites just for sex are many and one can make intentions plain. All levels of commitment can be searched for as all manner of kinks can be explored, and no one ever confuses what they want since what they want is always expressed. There is no couched language to allure and attract, no terrible pasts to elaborate on or expunge, no future dreams to expose. Used to speed and the ability to communicate when and where we wish, the web seems the perfect place for us to find who we want and they us, for one specific physical urge and nothing more.

Where does love begin?


When does friendship turn to a relationship that blows your mind! It may be next to impossible to know when love begins, where sex hookups isn’t just sex anymore. But the signs are pretty clear once a person falls in love that they are in love. Everything about them from the smile on their face to their attitude and outlook on life betray them.

If we are to believe the poets then without love there is nothing. Right from birth humans are looking for love. There are articles written about it and the affects it has on a person’s mental and physical being. One horrible study showed that during the French revolution the young children of noble men where in prison away from their parents. They were isolated and denied human contact. Although these children were given enough food and drink they all died. The reason cited was from a lack of love.

Examples of love and lust litter our television shows, books, on line sites but to verbalize what love really is, is impossible. And no matter how many things are on a person’s check list for the ideal partner the final word is about the chemistry. Chemistry is an intangible it may be part physical, part memory of things deeply rooted in ones subconscious. Whatever it is it is a hard thing to deny. Once a person finds themselves attracted to another it becomes a game to find out if the feelings are mutual and partners think about one another all the time, from the sublime to the sexual.

But it goes beyond that fuckfest to actual love making and thoughts of tender kisses and growing old together. Friends that suggest that it isn’t real and they you are only interested in a piece of ass usually find themselves outside the friend circle, their advice ignored.

Love can happen in an instance, across a crowded room or it can be something that grows over time. Many couples that have had arranged marriages find over time that they are actually more than just okay or comfortable with the person they had sex with for the last 20 years, they are actually in love.

What Not To Say In Your Profile


Online dating has become the new way to meet people for just about anything, including romance and sex. Sure, the old stand-bys like clubs and bars are still there but with online dating you have the benefit of seeing the profiles of people who are also looking to connect with other people and where you won’t have the problem of meeting someone you find attractive but is, alas, not available. And with the anonymity of on line looking one doesn’t have to make a move to their intended until they have researched, steeled their nerve and know exactly what they want to say, at least for the first few opening salvos

But setting up oneself online can be tricky.

For instance, one needs to a good dating profile all the right things need to be said as well as a strong voice and intent has to be established; or at least a distinct voice that sounds like you. Then you need to find a great picture or, better yet, have a great picture taken by someone who can make you look really good. But one also needs to know what to avoid in a profile or when or when it might not be right to include salacious information or kinks; there is a chasm of difference between Fetlife and Facebook.

Attempts at humor are fine, but not all jokes work in print, and what might offend one person might not another. In the end one might have to err on the side of the bland to get laid. People are quickly out off by even the smallest hint of prejudice or body issues, religion or political issues unless they are clearly indicated to be filled out on the dating profile.

Best to side with the old axiom where religion sex and politics were never to be discussed in polite society.
It’s essential to remember that one shouldn’t close any doors one doesn’t have to online, as we don’t know what people are saying about who they meet, how they are comparing profiles, just like you are and who is ultimately friends with who else. Because there is such a wide spectrum of people who appear all across dating websites these days, we never really do know where a great connection can come from.

The Rewards In Being Patient


Sure, the world is moving very, very fast; information, connections of the social world, education and science. We have movies streaming online, books coming out as ebooks, Web sites full of all kinds of wonderfully sexy stuff, so it’s very natural that many people who have stepped out into the world of online dating have a tendency to want things to happen very quickly. Yes, things are moving quickly everywhere else but one thing no one should do is rush, or get impatient with, online dating.

The fact is that even though everything seems to be getting quicker and quicker, what you are trying to do when you venture out into the wild world of online dating is still about meeting flesh and blood people and people are simply not as fast or reliable as technology. So when you put yourself out there into the digital dating world try to always remember that even though email travels at the speed of light and there are thousands of sites and maybe even millions of people looking to connect to other people, the fact is that those millions of people have lives and problems and things that simply pop up. If you make a connection on-line, especially a first one, keep in mind that the person you are emailing or chatting with has all kinds of things in their life you may not know about: family things, work things, all kinds of things. So if they don’t immediately get back to you, even if you have been chatting or emailing for a long time, take a very deep breath and remember that they are probably just having one of those ‘life happens’ moments and will get back to you when they can.

It’s not easy to do, but it’s far better than getting impatient and maybe even rude with people when they don’t get back to you as quickly as you’d like them to. Yes, technology is great and it moves very, very fast but always keep in mind that people are slow, get distracted, and have things come up. So keep your head and be patient, and you will have a much better experience when you get online and reach out to people, for sex or compassion, friendship; or all three.
