The One Problem With Dating Sites

For today's post i would like to confront the world of dating sites. I have been a fan of them, though by the end of reading this you might not think so haha. I think that the internet is wonderful. It is through the net that I have been able to meet some of the most wonderful people in this world. However Dating sites have left me a little bitter. To begin I would like to propose a queston to those of use who have used a dating site or even a social media site such as Facebook:

Have you ever sent a message to some one?

Have you ever looked at someone's profile and said "wow this person could be someone amazing. This person who I know solely based by their profile is someone that I could become attracted to. Dare I even say that I could fall in love with this person one day?"

Have you ever sat down one night and said "maybe tonight i will meet my fated love?"

I have.

I have let into my mind the hope that maybe this person or maybe next person or the one after that could be her.

I have sent many many messages to many different people not only on this site but on all the other sites out there that I have tried to place hope into.

I have hoped and watch as I send message after message.

Some messages too long, and some too short.

All in that hope to find "Her."

Tonight alone I must have spent so much time reading and learning about the many many wonderful people all screaming out into the dark to find that missing part of their life. Whether it is that guy that will be Mr. Right or Mr. Tonight, I read this inside of their profiles.

I read this in the questions they answer, in the tests they take or whatever a site might use to help their masses find whatever they came in search of.

I read this in the profiles that people take the time to make to try and hook that person they need.

I have seen this and I have known the uncertainty as I send off another message, thinking to myself "this one will respond. I did that message right. My profile is good enough."

I have watched many people come and look at my profile and wait for a reply.

It never comes.

The problem with dating sites is that you don't know why they never messaged back.

Was it you?

Was it me?

Was it never meant to be?

I will never know, and some nights I wonder if I would like to know that answer.

What I do know is the pain of feeling "Forever Alone" and it is something that every person knows and many may not be willing to face. It is something that we all hope to one day over come. Being alone is not something that has to be forever. I firmly believe that one day we all will be able to find what it means to truly accepted, wanted, and loved. We just have to wait and stay vigilant, just as what it takes to get most of the best things in life haha.

Well whatever you may have gotten out of this, I hope to hear your feed back.

Good luck in your searches for love.

I hope you never need it.
