Misconceptions on Online Dating

Online dating is frequently marketed as a more convenient method of meeting people, but this is not always the case. The good news is that you aren’t stuck in a bar with a chance of meeting 20 people; you have access to millions of women online. You can go to the pub and meet the girl you’ve been seeking for, but you must first find her online.
You must also be prepared to sift through a lot of garbage. Sometimes it’s nonsense, such as when “the moon” is repeatedly used as a response to the question “What is bigger, the sun or the moon?” At times, it’s depressing, psychological, and “what is the point of this?” material.

• Don’t make internet dating the be-all and end-all of our romantic existence.
• Work on becoming self-assured, self-aware persons who like themselves and don’t require validation from others, and
• Live our life in the real world, where we may choose to spend our time and energy with people who raise us up, working and engaging in hobbies that boost our confidence and joy, while being open to finding the ideal person for us.

Attraction is an organic and emotional process. We have no control over how other people react to us. But we have the power to enjoy our lives and find individuals with whom we want to share them — and those people aren’t always “ugly” or “beautiful.” Attractiveness is a spectrum, and when we like who we are, work to improve the aspects of ourselves that we don’t like, and surround ourselves with people who value those qualities, it tends to the positive.

Sure, internet dating is all about the superficial, but it can also be a tool for meeting more of the wonderful people we want in our life – people who want to meet us. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people.

Please don’t spend your time with online dating if you don’t enjoy it or if it makes you feel “less than.”

If you’re frustrated that you’re wasting time on something that’s not “paying off,” take a break. You’ll feel better if you reinvest your time and energy in the aspects of your life that bring you joy. Don’t spend time online if you feel like you’re bashing your skull against a brick wall.

Taking a step back is sometimes the best course of action.

Keep in mind that online dating is not do or die for you

There are other ways to meet ladies. Notify your friends and family that you intend to begin (according to a few key guidelines, established by you). Happy hours, mixers, bars, and meet-ups are all excellent options. Practice talking with strangers in the grocery store checkout line. Smile at a lovely girl at a meeting. You’ll be less upset with Match and Tinder if you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

If you have anxiety or a lot of discomfort in social situations, take a look at this. You can improve your social relationships by learning to handle them.

Find someone you can talk to about this – a mentor, your pastor, a therapist, a friend – anyone who will be supportive and help you explore for methods to practice, grow, and conquer these challenges.
The work you’re putting in right now to feel good about yourself and create a life you enjoy will put you in a position to make fantastic, long-lasting relationships with the right people. Patience and hard work are difficult to come by, but I believe they are the only options. That, and go offline when you need to.

You’re a brilliant, funny, and insightful person who has a lot to offer. There are a lot of people who appreciate you having those qualities (myself being one of them). Whether it’s online or offline, I’m convinced you’ll meet someone amazing.
