The Four D's of Dating

I have talked so much lately about online dating, the ease of it, and the unease of it and so on. I personally feel it’s a very unnatural way of meeting a man and I perceive it as a desperate way to find someone to connect to. But I am one person, who is much older than someone in their 20 or 30's where online dating is part of their generation and a very natural way of meeting someone, so please don't go by what I think or say. It's only my feeling and opinion as perceived for myself alone. Actually, if I hear of someone in a great relationship which begun from online dating I think it’s wonderful. For myself though, I find it to not be so wonderful. It is almost a job.

Then we get into texting, or should I say sexting which I myself have engaged in and found it to be a lot of fun, and yet very safe because it's all theoretical.  Years ago, after I found out of my husbands indiscretions, I met a man online who I developed a relationship with, and although we never met in person, I felt like I was getting even because now I too had an affair going on.  The difference was, of course, in my  husband's case, it was physical, and in my case it was just cybersex.  Big difference, but felt good nonetheless when you are craving and starving for attention and love. 

Whatever it's worth, I came across, this article and I found it very interesting in regards to online dating, meeting and developing relationships and how it can affect other more real relationships.  Enjoy and please share your comments
