So, what are the chances of finding Mr. Right online? Slim to none you may say. But hold on, hold on! Don’t be so quick to write this online dating thing off, sister…

The odds of uncovering some fantastic guys at an online dating site are, I think, a lot better than most people think. You’d have to be living under a rock not to have noticed the explosion of online dating sites over the last… oh, 10 years, I guess, right?

Your mum probably told you, too, that “You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince” but hey, why waste your valuable time and efforts kissing frogs when you can sit at home in your jammies with a mudpack on working its magic and zip through the profiles of eligible hunks? (Okay, not all of ‘em are hunks, sure, but you know what I’m saying!)

A lot less frog-kissing has gotta make every girl happy, eh? LOL!

If you’re single and you haven’t yet given online dating sites a whirl (for whatever reason), here are few points worth considering, I think:

1. Range

There is a much, much wider range of potential Mr Rights at any given dating site than in our regular social circles and work connections. Traditionally, a very high percentage of people (I can’t remember the statistic I once heard, but it was pretty stark) meet their spouse through work or friends.

Seems logical, doesn’t it?

But it’s also kinda limiting. Which is, I guess, one of the reasons we do social activities. Apart from actually enjoying racketball, for example, we get to meet new people that we might not otherwise have had to opportunity to.

Well, the way I see online dating sites is just like that: They’re just another avenue for people to meet other people they’d otherwise never have the opportunity to meet.
