Thank you for this superb post. But I had difficult time navigating around your website as I kept getting 502 bad gateway error. Just thought to let you know.

A Simple Solution To This Problem:

As soon as you meet a woman online say,

“Tell me right now if you’re one of those girls who are too afraid to actually meet in person, which is, you know, the whole point of what we’re doing right now…”

If she says she’s not like that the urge to remain consistent with her committment (of not being like that) will highly increase the likelihood of a successful meetup.

In some cases, I agree with Casual about using our high-tech and Internet tools for communicating. In my business world, whether it’s giving advice on relationships or on a product I sell, I find it a lot more workable to use email. The other person can write theirs at their convenience and I can read it and answer at mine. Time zones and work schedules don’t restrict communication. I even encourage my customers to use email rather than a phone call for that reason. But when a person does call me, it’s amazing how a simple question can turn into a long conversation and Bingo! We’ve connected on a human level. Trust is built.

Yo Casual, I think you’ll find that both Emily and I are 100% all-in on Social Media. It’s a great way to enhance friendships.

The point is that a lot of people are REPLACING real-life with virtual-life, even in the online dating world. And that line has to be drawn.

As someone who grew up with the internet and cellphones, I definitely feel more comfortable texting people than actually talking with them, and I enjoy managing my social network through services such as Facebook. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. It’s true that real life doesn’t happen in a web browser, but it is possible to use to connect with people on a deeper level.

Right on, Owen. I agree with everything you said also.

Social media is very cool, but it can’t *become* “real life”. Most definitely.

Scot, you are so right on! Our culture has become so technologically “connected” that as humans, we’re disconnecting at an alarming rate. And younger people today think texting instead of talking is communicating, they think that having 200 “friends” on Myspace or Facebook constitutes a social life. What’s scary is, since kids have had their own cell phones (with technology making them more capable every day) from an early age, they think what they’re doing is real life! I hate to sound like someone’s father (I am), but I think humanity and our social health was much better before all this hi-tech communication came to be.

And what you say about the “dating online” has been true since early on in the online dating scene. I experienced it years ago.
