Dr. Dato’s Brief:
This a post on some real life experiences of people who tried online dating, some with success and others without.
One elderly couple met through match and they found each other when their memberships were about to expire. Vito had put up a snippet of the last book he had read Life of Padre Pio and Denise found him while doing a search. “I noticed that something was different about his profile when mentioned the book, so I thought I would explore”. The two are now happily engaged.
Mary from Stony Brook was unfortunate in here experiences. The men she had met online didn’t seem at all compatible from their profiles online. She doesn’t yet know when she will go back to online dating.
Lewis of Setauket found it surprising that he ended up dating a girl that typically he would not have chosen had he met her offline.
Another dater Laura of Stony Brook tried the online dating and is currently dating someone she met online. She often tells people how they met and she said “About a third of people are surprised, a third are worried and a third say ‘that’s how people meet now”.

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The stories in this article conveys the message that online dating does indeed work for some couples.
In the first story Aaron who did not like the evening outdoor scene met Kathleen on an online dating site. At first Aaron who as 25 years old at that time had many older women contact him but fortunately he persisted and found Kathleen who is married to now.
The second case involves Jennifer who was too busy with school and a working life and met Mark whose profile indicated that he liked motorcycles, owned a pet bird and was reading about spirituality which interested Jennifer. They emailed each other a few weeks and they clicked, continued dating and got married.
What we can learn from these stories is that filtering through profiles is a must and persistence will eventually pay off.
