Lets talk about relationships in 2010. No one meets people organically anymore. It is all about the social sites, dating sites, and the internet in general. The reality is that people seem to feel more comfortable and content forming relationships off the internet.
Relationships in 2010, for the most part, all happen over the internet. Whether it be Facebook or Match.com, this is how people are meeting these days, and it may seem all fine and dandy… but is it really?
I understand the convenience of meeting people from the safety of your own home and all. However how safe is the internet… really? I would hope that the dating sites do a good job of making sure that the person your talking to is at least the sex they say they are.
But places like Facebook and Myspace, it is rather easy to say your are someone and be someone else. Relationships in 2010 are for lack of a better word “Digital!”
Sharing tweets with one another, poking via facebook, cyber dates via Skype. Honestly the relationships in 2010 seem more like your dating your computer rather than the person on the other end. I know for some people going out and meeting someone the old fashion way isn’t easy. They are either shy, or have no self confidence, among any other possible reason. But there are personal development classes and book your can read to help you.
Why resort to starting a relationship over the internet. First off how can you really be sure that Shelly is a yoga instructor, 26, and has 2 cats? Or that Brad is a doctor, 32, and single? The fact of the matter is, you really don’t.
If you are into yoga take a class and meet someone that way. Or if doctors are what float your boat get hurt a lot or try and get a job in a hospital. What ever you like in a person there is a place those types of people hang out.
The internet is just a very broad place. it;s where people can pretend to be something they are not if they want. It is hard to tell someone true feelings and the tone they are using in a conversation via instant messages.
The relationships in 2010 are very impersonal in my opinion. If it worked for you then congrats. But I am telling you, meeting people the old fashion way is the way to do things. You can learn so much more face to face with someone!
There must be something really awesome about meeting people on line. So many people all over the world are doing it and many of them are finding their soul mates.
I mean 1 in 5 relationships begin on the internet. That is pretty interesting if you ask me. I personally re-met my boyfriend of a year now on Facebook. Although I do not consider that starting our relationship via the internet. We went to high school together first.So i suppose that my relationship is in the middle of both. Half digital and half organic.
I must say though. If i had not been on Facebook that day I may not be as happy as I am with someone else. So with everything that I have said, it really comes down to this. Whatever works for you is what you should do. Whether you meet online or the old fashion way. As long as you find love and a great companion in life that is all that really matters. So relationships in 2010 may be digitally formed… but everyone deserve to have love!
