A good friend of mine recently entered into the exciting but unknown world of online dating. It seems like everyone I talk to nowadays met online. It's the new bar. But the difference is that a lot of people online (not everyone of course) actually want a relationship. They want to get dinner and not just drinks. They want to date not just hook up. They text or email you often instead of a week later. She tells me it's refreshing to be with men who are actually that: men, not boys. On the other hand, I've heard horror stories from the trenches of online dating, where men have turned out to be boozers, womanizers, moochers....the list goes on and on. What do you think? Is online dating the newest craze or is it going to fizzle out in a few years? I'm not on Match, Perfect Harmony, or Plenty of Fish, but for those of you who are, I hope that your inbox is full of sincere, honest words- not empty promises. Because if you're online looking for love, you should at least meet others who want the same thing. If you're looking for casual sex, do the old fashioned thing and go to the bar!
