I recently read a post where again some people were piping on about how great online dating is and how it has changed the way we date. This is all true, online dating has come a long way and is considered an acceptable way to meet others online for singles dates. There is little stigma associated with finding dates online and more people are doing it everyday and this is every good news for paid sites as well as free dating sites.

Variety is the spice of life in online dating sites

However, along with many things in life too much of a good thing can have it’s side effects and this is where we need to tread carefully before jumping into the bandwagon of online dating. Firstly, think hard about what it is you are looking for and most important of all decide if you can allocate sufficient time for this new venture in finding dates. I am sad to say that women are usually good on this front with men taking the plunge by sheer impulse and fleeting moments and phases in their lives. However, that’s not a bad thing, because as they variety is the spice of life. It could very well be the reasons why the two genders have an intangible liking and affinity for each other.

Although we may come across many profiles that we like just by sheer brute force and persistence, it is better to plan your strategy. After all great companies were not built over night but by the sheer persistence and dedication of wanting to get there. There is a lot to say about the saying ‘Rome was not built in a day’.

Take the time to decide if you have a budget to sign up to the most popular dating sites that require a monthly subscription fee. Alternatively, you can take your pick in one of the many free dating sites. This begs the question, will you succeed in a paid dating site or a free dating site? Your instinct might tell you that nothing in life comes free and steer towards the paid sites or maybe you are thinking, what have you got to lose and veer to the free dating sites camp. The right answer would be to do a combination of both. We are left with repeating the most important trait mentioned earlier ‘variety is the spice of life’. Do try different things and do it well, but also enjoy doing it.
