My best friend met her husband through Match.com. They just got married this fall, and are a fantastic couple together.

I also have a cousin who met her current boyfriend from an internet dating site as well.

I know of others too who have met their spouses online and they are all really happy together.

Its a good way to get to meet people who have similar interests and life goals as you. Its a lot faster than traditional dating since you know right away whether or not they ever want to get married or have a family, whether or not they are a smoker, or social drinker etc.

But the important thing is to be safe. Don’t give out your address or home phone # until you have met the person a few times. – I wouldn’t even recommend meeting them until you have emailed back and forth a few times.

When you meet them in person, choose a public place, and make sure someone you trust knows where you are, and when you will be back – just in case things go wrong.

Most of the time it a great thing, but it is still smart to be careful.

As the online dating scene explodes into a multi-billion dollar industry, many onlookers and skeptics have begun to realize it’s potential. Many have asked the question,”Why should I use them? Well, the answer is as simple as the question: it’s a no brainer. Millions of regular people are utilizing these once tabooed services for finding love and companionship at exponential rates. So what is your hold up? Are you of those onlookers that thinks they have no problem with finding that special someone on their own? If that were the case then you’d be in love or at the least, in a relationship that compliments all there is about you, or most of you anyway. Isn’t that what dating is about? Isn’t the idea of having someone more important than being alone? If you answered yes, then please keep reading, I’m going to explain the benefits and then the best strategies for signing up and getting involved… First thing you have to do, if you really want this to work, is you must keep an open mind. Nothing will ever come of these services if people are not optimistic. Secondly, you really need to know what your ultimate goal, when using an internet dating service, would be. That would include knowing why you are here and what you want out of this whether it’s simple companionship or a meaningful relationship that could potentially lead to love and possibly finding your soul-mate.Third, you want to be more transparent. The reason for this is super simple, it basically allows you to be you. No hiding from the truth or misrepresenting yourself will hold any answers for you and pretending to be someone you are not will only damage your chances for a successful and meaningful experience. Many people just like you are using these online dating services and finding that there is still much hope, regardless of age or physical attributes. Everyone from young, hard-bodied singles to mature, distinguished seniors have been able to find meaningful matches. The hardest part about using an online dating service is that you must really be selective and that is something only you can do once you have decided to stay open minded, figured out who or what you are looking for and why and of course remain true to yourself as an individual since only you can be you. Now we both know, that there are many internet dating horror stories and such that have plagued the online dating world since it’s conception, I can’t deny that. But the one thing that has stayed the same, is the fact that there are still services online for the dating population. To me that says that there are many more positive experiences than there are bad. I’m not saying that you won’t have any bad experiences, heck, I couldn’t say that about your favorite restaurant but what I want you to realize is, that without the positive and hopeful mindset of something possibly working in your favor, you are merely setting yourself up for disappointment regardless of what you are doing or trying. To date there are literally hundreds if not thousands of internet dating services available. Also to date, we know that there are millions of lonely folks looking for that special someone as well. If it were not for these dating services, then there would be many many more still searching and ultimately we would have missed the boat, the love boat that is. Isn’t it time to be a little more optimistic about finding love and shouldn’t we give things a shot even if they are new to us? I think it’s time to try going with the flow and give dating sites a chance to prove themselves. What do you have to lose, besides loneliness? If you would like to know more about the internet dating services I promote or share with people, then simply leave me a comment here on the blog and I would be glad to give you some ideas. In case you are wondering why you should take any advice from me, well to say the least I have been in dozens of worthwhile relationships with whom most of them, I still remain good friends with and in the end I have finally found my soul-mate to share the rest of my life with. To date I have been happily married for more than 8 years to a beautiful woman who is also my best friend. My next post of the week will be on my personal love story to my wife. It’s a story of trials, obstacles, love, respect and devotion. Honestly, I’ve been told it’s a Cosmo story but I have yet to send it in to see what they think. Maybe I should..Anyways, please check back to read my love story for the ages and let me know if you think I should have it published in Cosmo. If I get enough input I might just have to. Thanks for reading and I hope you can give online dating sites a fair chance like the millions that already have…

Internet dating is nothing new, in fact, it’s considered the new matchmaker medium and is one of the simplest ways to safely and effectively meet a partner with the same or similar interests, just ask the pooch here…

Most online dating services offer short, free trial periods specifically targeted towards allowing skeptic people to try before they buy. This is a major deal maker for people who may be a little worried about trying something new, especially on the internet.

Remember, internet dating is not for everyone, but it does give you the chance to introduce yourself to many people at one time. This will save you time, money and frustration. Again, if you want to find a real relationship without so much risk and expectation, internet dating is indeed for you. Give it a try.. And be on your way to finding Your Special Someone today!

Recently someone wrote to me and asked: Why am I unable to find locals using internet dating services in my area? I have tried several supposed Local Dating Services and I still have not met or even found anyone close to my town, what am I doing wrong here?

Well today I want to answer this concerning question and try to explain why many internet dating services don’t offer much in the way of locals in their listings that actually are local to your area search.

The reason for this is quite simple, it’s a numbers game. Basically this biggest factor for finding someone of interest in your neck of the woods, is based on where you are located. You see, smaller communities do not have the numbers that metro areas do, therefore they don’t receive nearly as many local sign ups to their services.

I know that many companies offer local listings but the fact of the matter is, they merely want you to search their network, so they promote the term “locals” and “local dating”, in their advertisements. It may seem like a sneaky tactic and it is, but it’s highly effective for their marketing purposes.

Just imagine for a minute that you were in Los Angeles, Denver or even New York. What would the odds of finding truly local dating options be? Well it’s fairly easy to imagine, especially since there are literally millions of people in these areas and out of those millions, there are bound to be huge amounts of lonely people looking for dates, companionship and of course love.

Now, let’s imagine that you are from a place like Sheridan (Wyoming), Bismark (North Dakota) or even Missoula (Montana). Yes there are definitely lonely singles looking for something meaningful but how many possible internet daters would you have. Again it’s obviously a numbers game. Heck you could add all the people in each of these small cities and rural towns and still not have the amount of online dating specific users that you would in a major city or metropolis. This amounts to very few options when you are stuck looking for someone somewhat local.

For example: If I were in Denver and I was searching the locals database of profiles, I would probably turn up thousands of profiles without ever looking outside Denver. On the other hand, if I were searching locals in Sheridan, Wyoming (which is a lil smaller on the map..he he), I would most likely find a few profiles but for them to be actual locals, I would need a miracle.

Now that’s not suppose to turn the small and rural town dating service users away, it’s just to let you all know that you might need to broaden your searches a bit. To give you another example, let’s say I’m in Missoula, Montana. Now this is much larger than a place like Sheridan, Wyoming and even so, if I were searching for someone to meet, I would most likely have to broaden my searches to include surrounding areas like other places in the state of Montana or since Missoula happens to be close to the eastern state line of Idaho, I would search nearby areas in Idaho as well. Now I know this makes things a little more work and not nearly as inviting when you are searching for that special someone but on the reality side of things, people have been known to search all the way across the world and found someone.

As another example, I’d imagine that you are somewhat familiar or at least you have heard of Russian Brides services and the like, well that is exactly what these people have tried in order to find that perfect match. They didn’t just look outside the box, hell they looked outside the country and we’re talking across the globe. This doesn’t mean that you need to search the planet but it should be a reminder to broaden the scope of your search depending on how hard you want to work at it.

To me, it’s kind of like adoption. I mean people have been known to search the smallest third world countries in existence and have found an adoptable child to complete their families. In fact, celebrities do it all the time and today it’s almost the norm when you are in need of a child to adopt. You might be thinking that it’s much more different than that but really it’s not. People look for love in the oddest of places sometimes and whether it’s a child to adopt or a beautiful woman or handsome gentleman to possibly meet and date, it’s all done in the name of love and the hopes that it could be as rewarding as the effort entailed.

To recap, don’t forget to broaden your search areas when using internet dating services if you live in a small or rural community. And don’t let this information discourage you, there is always someone just like you interested in find that special someone online. You just might have to think outside the box a little.

I hope you found this useful and I hope you come back soon for more insight into internet dating services and how you can find your perfect match online.
