There are many reasons why busy people want to try online dating. For one thing, you get to try dating

different types of people if you sign up at an online dating site. For another, you can try to chat with your

preferred dates online first until your work or home schedule permits a face-to-face date. You also get to

see their dating profile to find out what they do for a living or what their interests are before you commit

to a date. However, it is true that not everyone succeeds in net dating, so you may need some help at

First, take a look at the services that online dating sites offer. Do they permit chatting between casual

acquaintances? Are you allowed to go on a face-to-face date right away, or do you have to meet a

requirement for hours spent online with the person you are interested in first? Some online dating sites

may offer more services than others, so it pays to do your research first before settling for any one site.

Second, how much do these services cost? Yes, net dating sites are businesses, which have to turn a

profit to survive. So be sure you are paying for the right services when you sign up. You may find that

some sites are cheaper than others but offer less services. Others may cost more but give you more dating

service options. In addition, some sites could be more popular than others which could mean they may

offer free services as freebies to attract more customers.

Third, what are your expectations from online dating? Are you looking to find your soulmate right

away or are you just playing the field for now? Do you expect to make the first move to ask your online

acquaintance for a face-to-face date or do you expect that acquaintance to invite you first? These factors

may influence how satisfied you will be with your online dating experience.

Fourth, do you belong to any special communities that would influence your online dating activities? For

example, do you belong to a cultural, ethnic or religious group where dating is strictly monitored? Or

maybe the dating sites have some chat rooms where you can talk to people who share the same interests?

You may also have to check if your special needs will require paying extra fees as well before you start

pursuing those activities on the dating site itself.

Admittedly, in the realm of dating,there is no substitute for real face-to-face interaction. But when you

are far away from your ideal dating communities or are pressed for time due to work and family concerns,

online dating could be the next best thing to try out. Of course, you should always make a face-to-
face date your final goal after you have thoroughly explored the world of online dating first so that you

eventually have the chance at a long-term relationship.
