At the very least it’s another dating option

I was out with a good friend of mine over the holidays and she mentioned that she recently updated her profile photo on her online dating site and all of the sudden she’s garnering interest inquiries for coffee meet-ups. As a single mother with a full time job, it’s not easy dating these days. Kelly tells me while she still keeps an open mind at the gym, bars and through blind dates set up by friends, online dating is an extension of the scene now if you’re hoping to meet someone compatible.

I’ve been hearing about other online dating stories (good, bad, and ugly) from my single friends and it’s a world I would, frankly, not even know where to begin. I was curious as to why they go online anyway. Is it really that bad “out there”?

Unanimously, they all tell me it’s a way to meet more new people, people that you may not CrГ©ditos Amour Factory otherwise meet in daily life. It also caters to our “on-the-go” lifestyles in a more efficient way. “When you have a busy career and kids, it’s not always easy to go out and meet people,” says Kelly. “And you have no guarantees you’ll meet anyone that night or that they’ll be single. This way, you can connect with people virtually-right from home when your kids are in bed!”

The paid subscriptions like Match and usually have more success when it comes to long-term relationships

Through many conversations I’ve found that my friends definitely have some great advice for moms who may be considering online dating. First things first, it’s important to pick your online route carefully. Unpaid services like OKCupid and PlentyOfFish are great, but because they are free they attract a lot of people who aren’t really all that serious. Kelly tells me that she’s tried one paid site and two non-paid sites and she’s found more compatible people on the paid sites.
