Dating Online And The 30-ish Woman

By Owen Jones


Life just isn't fair, is it? Men seem to get all the breaks. You have devoted most of your 20's to getting your career off the ground. It really is not that you haven't been dating at all - you have, but not seriously. Now here you are 30 + and there is no long term relationship in sight.

You can actually listen to your biological clock ticking away. You have only a few years to find a bloke to fall in love with, make him fall in love with you, get married, and have a child or it's lights out. You already know all of the men in your social circle. Not that they aren't nice guys, some of them, but none of them is really your soul mate. What's a girl to do?

Think about online dating. You have the chance to look at hundreds of profiles and look at hundreds of pictures in search of that someone that will be right for you. Maybe he lives in the same city you do, perhaps he will live across the country or even across the sea! You aren't limited to just those men that you come in contact with personally. The possibilities are practically endless.

Is online dating safe, you might ask? Aren't the online dating sites made up entirely of perverts, sexual predators and weirdos in assorted shapes and sizes? the short answer is, no they aren't. Not any more anyway, if they ever were.

That was true when online dating first came on the scene but now it is main stream. It's as safe as you make it using common sense and sound judgment. Use the same caution that you would when meeting any stranger. Don't give him your full name, address or telephone number until you feel quite safe doing so.

Nowadays, the Internet is more regulated than previously. It is still very open, but now there are many honest business people on the net who police their websites, including dating agencies, in order to weed out the trouble makers. You can help make Internet dating safer too by informing the owner of the online dating agency if one of the members acts unpleasantly while online. I'm sure the miscreant will be kicked out.

Don't rush headlong into a personal rendezvous until you are certain and then make the first meeting in a very public place and during daylight hours. Give it a try! Mr. Right might just be only a few mouse clicks away
