Online dating can be likened to surfing the treacherous monster waves in Hawaii, diving off the mega cliffs in Mexico, swimming across the English Channel, or taking a dip in shark infested waters. Sure, you hope it will be a fun and exciting adventure to laugh about later. But what is online dating really like?
While keeping a journal of my online dating experiences I have met some truly amazing men, enjoyed numerous delightful dates, and made some life-long friends in the cyber online dating process. Along with the displeasure of wrestling a few sharks, and extricating myself from some powerful undertows, I've escaped the vice like grip of an octopus in heat. On the sunny side, I can bask in the luxury of knowing there are some graceful dolphins, and a rainbow of unique, attractive catches out there.
In my experience so far I have been steering my raft through the wild rapids of online dating for a while now. My line has been cast into many tranquil lakes, choppy rivers and the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. Returning my share of catches back to the dark depths from which they came, I have managed to reel in some award winning prizes worthy of display. My rubber raft has sprang a few leaks, collided with jagged rocks, and the dolphins are having a blast bumping me off my safe little perch while singing delightfully. The friendly dolphins are keeping the cantankerous sharks away(for now), but I have been stung by a few transparent jelly fish with rather long reaching tentacles.
So my advice is to hang in there and keep throwing that line in to the online dating pond. Put lots of bright colored bait on the hook, and just enjoy the challenge and stimulation of the sport.
