You've spent all your working life so far pursuing your dream career and you finally feel that you're ready to take the foot off the accelerator and devote some time to your love life. But you're now in your 30s and you can feel that biological clock ticking. You've only got a limited time to hunt down that perfect man, spend some quality time together and if you're lucky settle down and have a family.
It seems like a lot of pressure. Men just don't have these limitations, but you feel that the world is conspiring against you when it comes to find a mate in your 30s. You already know all the singe males in your direct social circle and none of them are pushing your buttons so what options do you have left?
Well, it might be time to consider online dating. The stigma of meeting someone online these days has gone. People live busy lifestyles and online dating services are now commonplace. There are dating websites for just about every niche available. There are dating sites specifically set up for mature singles, Christians, African Americans, people in the military, Asians, gay, bi and lesbians. Whatever your fancy there's probably a special interest dating service out there for you.
There are free and paid services available too. One of the biggest websites out there is called Plenty of Fish. There are hundreds of thousands of potential dates online and the site is completely free. If you want to find people who are a bit more serious about finding a partner you can go for one of the bigger subscription sites like Match.com or eHarmony. They have their own screening processed and can match you very closely based on the information you supply.
One of the advantage of online dating websites is that you have the opportunity to browse hundreds of different profiles and each of these should have a picture to go along with it. Granted, some people may put up a photo that was taken 10 years ago, but most people tend to be honest with their pictures.
You can search by any criteria including age, profession, income, location, religion, appearance etc etc. It's quite easy to tell is a guy is just looking for a one night stand or if he is seeking a life partner. Once you have found someone that you have some chemistry with online, you should try and meet up in person at the earliest opportunity. It's easy to get a false impression of someone when you're communicating by computer. There's nothing better that a face to face meeting to make up your mind about someone.
Just remember to be safe at all times. Never disclose personal information to someone you've just met. And if you do decide to go on a date, let your friends know where you are going and opt for a public place so you feel safe at all times.
