My reason for starting 365 days to find love is to find love for myself. But what’s really pushing me forward is the thought that I didn't know where to begin to put it out in the universe. So many people want to meet someone yet they’re afraid to venture out of their comfort zone to do something about it.
I think that is that first step out of comfort is what we need to do to achieve anything we want in life.
My first step out was to embrace a new way of interaction and connection that did not exist when people of my generation were initially dating. Online dating sites.
For someone like myself that is computer challenged it is a daunting thought from the beginning. I can only imagine a person 15-20 years older than me who has never sat in front of a computer trying to contemplate the new methods of matchmaking. What ever happened to the neighborhood "Sadie" like in the movie Funny Girl? She knew every oldie and their business and you didn't have to go further than her kitchen table to meet the boy of your dreams.
Oy vey!
Think about all the misconceptions about online dating! I’ve thought and even heard "it's not for me" so many times. I was actually dared to go to an online site by a friend and even then I kept saying I was only on it to research my blog.
Truth be told, I know many couples who are together today because of online dating sites and they praise the day they registered.
The other fallacy is that these websites only exist for people that can't meet someone on their own. I am on match.com (link it!) and I think I’m a pretty good catch.
There ain't no losers here!!
Maybe the losers are the ones who judge the medium before they actually experience it. After all, I was a non-believer and now I’m one of the converted.
