So many singles, so few meet ups ( Archived) (14)

Jan 10, 2020 12:52 PM CST So many singles, so few meet ups
With more singles now than ever before in history and so many social and dating websites, why are there so few relationships born out of this new social setting. It seems to me that we were better off in rural settings, and zero chance to socialise, at finding someone suitable to share life with. Your thoughts?

The joy of anticipating one is much more pleasant than the pain of having one.

The Internet allows us to communicate with people all over the world, and as a result, oftentimes, they are hundreds, if not thousands, of miles from us.

I suppose the distance between people often lessens the chance of two people connecting, due to the expense of travel; whether it be by auto, or plane. I would say that it would take a very strong connection between two people for them to want to go to the expense of traveling very far, ( farther than a reasonable driving distance.)

So yes, I would agree that in earlier times, ( before the Internet ) the chances of singles meeting and dating were probably greater than today.......but that is just my opinion. But years ago, you usually met singles from one or two towns away, so it wasn't a big deal as far as distance was concerned.

The reason why there are many more singles and so few meet-ups, is that we all think we deserve better than the available dates. Most people think they're special and deserve better. We should all be a bit more humble maybe.

From my experience using the Irish CS site - a huge number is only interested in climbing up on anything with a pulse. I wouldn't want to start a relationship with anyone like that.

There are a lot of better ways and possibilities to meet someone in person, get to know them and start a relationship.

Get out, meet people and have fun. wine

No it is not; Online dating is as good as real world dating. It does not make "miracles", it just created more opportunities. We must choose what fits us, and where we can go.

"According to a new survey by psychologists at the University of Rochester in the US, online dating is the second most common way of starting a relationship – after meeting through friends. "

It is important to know what our own values are -online or real world- , and the person we want to meet should share many of them, before a friendship & relationship starts.


good luck with your prince charming....
