stray Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 This is just food for thought. I was just thinking this morning, when did I start having 6 month to 1 year long semi-dramatic and confusing relationships? When I started online dating. Prior to that I had a 4 year, and subsequently, a 5 year long relationship, both men who really valued me and have kept in touch to some extent since our break ups. When we do online dating are we setting ourself up from the beginning with commitment phobes? I think for the most part, yes. Of course they have what we call "gigs" - they have a whole meat market at their fingertips. I fear this will be a tough 21st century predicament to get around. Further more, every man I've met online, including ex boyfriends, are still single to this day. I see that they have flings now and then, but none of them are married or appear to be in a serious relationship. Is this a good thing? A bad thing? I suppose it can be seen as a good thing since men and women can search until they find that "perfect package" - but people have successful relationships when they can grow and change together and still love one another. What may be a "perfect package" now may not be in a few years, or even a few months, as one continues to realize their values. Thus, is online dating a quick fix?
