harvej Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 My buddy who is on match.com says my ex is online constantly. I don't care and asked him to simply don't tell me, but I might want to go on match.com, but like Facebook, I hear it's addicting.
sugarlove Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 It's not addicting in a sense that without Facebook or match.com, life will be boring and dull. Most people find the comfort of staying at home to scout for dates appealing as it's easier to find someone with all the "criteria" you want and not having to pick someone at the bar or pretend to read a book while sitting in a cafe. And a lot of people are really shy in person Bear in mind that most people who are grieving over a breakup are most likely on such dating sites, as they don't have the mood to go out to meet people and prefer to seek solace in a stranger, who may or may not be a romantic interest. And unlike the real world, people whom you met online comes and goes, there is not deep feelings involved and rejections aren't felt as badly. And you can really chat with 5 to 6 guys a week, a bigger net to cast.. but that doesn't increase your chance of finding the right one but more likely to increase your chance of a successful date. I doubt it's addicting unless you have an OCD nature or an addictive personality, but I can understand why anyone who is going through a breakup might want to go online to seek for dates.
hope2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Go for a daily sched of your activity and strictly follow it so you won't stick to a thing (like being addicted to FB or anything). If you organize your schedule then it would be hard to get addicted to something.
