Everyone on a dating site should read this! "Life offers a surplus of things to do and several ways to meet potential dating partners. A city’s culture of abundance with respect to dating, is further perpetuated by online dating sites that make it easy to meet people that one otherwise may not have met. Ironically, while the option to meet new people increases, it becomes more and more difficult to build a serious relationship.Access to endless people through online platforms makes it difficult to decide who to date. The task of choosing is “debilitating” and once a choice is made, one wonders if it was, in fact the right one. Committing to a person becomes a herculean task, where no matter who one chooses, one will always see someone better. This opportunity cost is not just limited to a potential date – people are stereotypically busy, and have to choose between working, exercise, socializing with friends or, meeting a stranger to see if there is a 'connection'.Similarly, online dating sites create a sense of removal and apathy during the initial stages of the relationship due to the impersonal nature of exchanging inbox messages. Dating requires time and effort, and falling for someone requires repeated human interaction in several forms – making eye contact, laughing together and revealing something about oneself. The more investment one puts in a relationship, the more of a return one can expect to get out of it. A sense of removal means that personal interactions are fewer. Therefore, one has less of an investment in the relationship, and gains less of a return.“How can you get dumped when you were never really involved?”Interesting,isn't it?I saw it on another profile and copy/pasted(I asked her first!),because it explains why people keep coming back on these sites,or never leave them in the first place! Hopefully the awareness of the problem will help us avoid it....But about me :)I'm pretty smart,pretty quiet,kind of sarcastic although not to hurt anyone,see the humor in most situations,don't have a big ego but I'm confident in myself.Never married,have kids that I see regularly,my relationships generally last a long time-not a serial dater at all!I'm busy with work,exercise,renos,family,etc,but want to make time for someone important to me.Like the headline says...Don't be shy to message;it's not a commitment,and I've found that looking at a profile tells you little about how attracted you're going to be to that person in real life! We'll figure it out

Well I'm not that good at describing myself cause anything and everything I type in doesnt look right to me but I will try my best.....I am a single dad of 4 wonderful kids! I have been separated and divorced now for over 10 years. I have dated off and on thru those 10 years but nothing really serious. I put alot of my time into my kids. Never really put much effort into this and other dating sites on the internet.....i made profiles but never really tried very hard to get dates. Now that its been 10 years, my kids have grown up and one has graduated college, one is going to be a junior in college and two are in high school and will be a junior and a senior next year. The two in high school are with their mother half the time and with me the other half. So in the past couple of years, I've have experienced what its really like to be an "empty nester" half of the time and I can say that being single and being an empty nester half the time is really really hard......its very lonely to be with no one and to also not have your kids around for half the time in my case. So now I think I'm ready to really seriously look for companionship with someone and then hopefully build that companionship into a relationship with the right person! I realize now that I don't want to be single for the rest of my life and life is short enuff as it is. I think and truly believe everyone deserves to be happy in their lives and I would love to be able to be a part of making someone happy in their life and in return, them making me happy in life as well. My previous relationship lasted 20 years with 14 of those being married.....So I am just looking first for companionship and then hopefully finding the right person to build that companionship into a relationship that will last! If you want to know more, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for reading my profile.
