One of the biggest negitive views that people have about online dating is that it’s “unnatural” or shows that you don’t have any social skills. While that may have been true sometime in the 1990’s I don’t think it holds any truth in 2009. Today we are living in a much faster paced world and and social networking and web 2.0 have shown that hey, it’s cool to meet new people online! Every now and then I get an email from somebody saying that they are meeting great people online but their friends and family are always taking a quick jab or joking around with them about looking for love online. The best piece of advice I can give them is to just ignore such statements and focus on what makes them happy.
