internet Dating=)

What comes to mind when you hear the word Internet? Could it be for information, myspace, facebook, emails? There are countless things that could come to mind with that one word. Now what comes to mind when you hear the word dating? For some it could mean love, romance, heartache, etc. Now put the two together and see what comes to mind when you hear the words "Internet dating"?
In this new day of age, it is safe to make the assumption that technology is the future. But is technology also the future for our love lives as well? It is understood that we use technology in everyday life, such as to go to work or school, and even when we work and attend school. Who's to say that we shouldn't use it towards our love lives? This new form of meeting people over the Internet and trying to find your significant other is something that is becoming more and more popular over the last ten, fifteen years and i do not see it slowing down anytime in the near future. In fact there are beginning to have more and more company's such as Eharmony and Match.com that are websites that help you find that one special person you are looking for. It is a little crazy to think that back in the day, before the Internet became popular, that people where communicating relationship wise in a complete different way and would have not even begin to think about some such as Internet dating. Of coarse the old fashioned way of meeting someone in person and talking to them to find out what there all about is still used today but even with that method we sometimes use emails and text messages to communicate. So in my opinion it is still a new form or relationship dating as well.
Could all this new ways of working, thinking, communicating, and now dating be good for us? In my opinion i think so. I think that using what ever resources that you think is best for yourself is never a bad thing. Because it is your life and you are in control of what you want for yourself. I think that everyone is different and that there is no wrong way to try to find that someone for yourself as long as you feel comfortable. For me i am more of the old fashioned way and like meeting people in person and talking and getting to know them. But in turn my best friend is a user of Internet dating and i support her choice because she is comfortable with it and feels that it is the option that will work best for her. This just goes to show that not only is there so many options on how to meet new people, but to connect to others on a whole new level, a relationship level.
