Two Cents on Dating

A friend of mine said something to me today that I thought blog-worthy:

"I can't believe you can't find one of my friends to date."

Now, to give you a little background, I was telling him about one of my successful dates from online dating. He thought the guy sounded pretty cool, which he is, but couldn't believe I wasn't interested in any of his friends (which let me clarify is not true...I like them, they just never call me).

So this whole conversation reminded me of the friends of friends theory. Again, I believe in it fully, but online dating has introduced a whole new dimension to the dating scene. One is able to see if a guy is even interested in a person with similar qualities and characteristics as them before even spending any time or energy on the games involved in the dating scene at say a bar. Don't get me wrong, online dating is by no means a replacement for the good old traditional dating, just a helpful addition.

The point is, dating is exhausting but fun and although friends of friends are a great way to meet people and get to know them without as much awkwardness there seem to be some other effective ways to meet people too.
