Cyber Dating - Dr. Phil is On-Board!

I don't normally watch daytime tv, unless there is a disaster to keep track off.  I was visiting some country cousins last week and they do watch daytime tv.  One of the gals was channel flipping and I heard, "Next on Dr. Phil, helping a woman get over her fears of cyberdating."  Or something to that effect.  Dr. Phil and Cyberdating, well I couldn't resist.

I didn't get to see the whole show but the gist of it was this, that cyberdating, like any dating is a legit way to meet someone if you use some common sense and caution when you go about it.  It isn't just for losers and cheaters, etc. 

Hey, that's what I've been saying all along! Just think, Dr. Phil and I are perfectly in sync on this.  Here's a link to the show if you'd like to check it out:  http://drphil.com/shows/show/740/

There are hints about profiles and pictures, etc., all the stuff I cover in my e-book on the subject: http://todaybooks.com/product_info.php?products_id=123

What I love about cyberdating is that you can get right to the point.  You're both there looking for some fun or a date or a life partner.  You can check someone's profile and see what they're into.  If you want to avoid smokers, or vegans - two of my pets peeves - you can do so.  If you're looking for someone who likes to kayak or attend dog shows or play bridge, voila, there they are at the push of a button.

And, one of the great things is, you don't have to be perfect. If you aren't the kind of person who can sail into a bar or party and turn heads you can play Cyrano and win people over with your words.  Also, you never know what is going on brainwise with one of those head turners.  At least on the internet you know someone is literate and can use a computer! 

Hint: if your typing isn't very good, practice with an online typing program. Nothing makes you look more like a loser than not being able to type coherent sentences at a reasonable speed. 

Happy Cruising!

Interesting post. I have dated a bit from Cyber but overall it is not practical in my area which has a population base that is relatively small. It is good for some folks though ... it has lost most of its fear factor I think. The one thing I do hear from various is that people are "shopping" for relationships this way and I know of two instances (one is male and one is female) whereby they seem almost addicted to this type of meeting up for romantic encounters. The sheer volume of dates these folks have had just wears me out thinking about it. And no lasting success although this is what they say they wish for. mmmmm?????? Barbara

I met my fiance on Matchmaker.com. I had several dates, a couple led to short term relationships then I met my fiance. The funny part is that I was really not interested in meeting him and had planned to go on the date and casually bring up the name of my single friend who I thought he might be interested in meeting. Well, during the date, I found myself so attracted to him that I completely forgot about introducing him to my friend. I was divorced after a very long marriage. You do have to be careful about giving out personal information. Don't call someone from your home phone, if it is a listed number a person can request a map that will lead them directly to your house! Try it but be careful, it worked out well for me!

Just thought I'd add that the Internet has now made it easier for people to get out there or put themselves out there. Sure you'll get some wacked out people doing stuff but there's a lot of legit ones lookin for life partners. This becomes a toll that they can add in search of love.

I agree that relationships can be challenging. In fact, I’ve tried pretty much everything. Now my friend, psychologist Dr. Alexander, showed me what’s been missing. I was looking at the wrong type for me. If you go on Dr. Alexander’s new site, www.loveTypes.com, and take the quiz, you’ll find the type that’s best for you.
