One of the reasons I like online dating is the somewhat more anonymous nature. Rejection is easier – because you never have to see that person again.
What happens when you come across a profile of someone you know from OUTSIDE the online dating world?

Chemistry.com has a great Olympics deal going on right now - 3 months for the price of 1!
This online dating site started as an offshoot of Match.com, with a different focus. On Chemistry.com, you take a fun test where you pick men (or women) that you find attractive. They then try to match you up with the types of people that match what you initially were drawn to. When you log in you're presented with photos and profiles of these people, and you can indicate whether or not you feel you

The scope of online dating is really so much wider than just sites like E-Harmony, Match and PerfectMatch. On one hand, I really think the fact that EVERYONE uses the Internet, and it is now considered so much more legitimate than it was 10 years ago has really reduced the stigma of online dating. It has also opened up a whole new way to meet new people.
What is a social network?
Here’s a great video that explains how social networks work, and how they can be beneficial:

One of the major pitfalls of online dating is that you don’t meet the other person until the high pressure of a first date. I have always had a much easier time when I meet someone through a friend, and we have a couple of “group” events. There is time to see if there is any chemistry, and a chance to explore shared interests. There is also the safety net of knowing people in common.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could combine the comfort of meeting someone through friends with the potential of online dating? It’s possible there is.

Wow - I don't know where to begin, so I suppose I'll just start at the beginning…
A few weeks ago I put my profile on Yahoo! Personals. 3 days later I went back to check it and had 8 emails, really nice ones, too. There was one that really captured my interest - how do you not like it when someone says "I see wonderful possibilities for us."
I wanted to respond to that one in particular, especially since I found him quite attractive too, so I paid my $24.99 and joined for a month. The emails only got better, the phone calls were great, and 3 weeks ago we met for the first time.

Blur is a new site I just discovered that has interesting articles about a plethora (I love that word) of subjects. One article I discovered in their lifestyle section, Wanted: Special Interest Relationship, Or Not is about dating sites that target specific ethnic groups, cultures or religious affiliations.
Los Angeles-based Spark Networks owns more than 30 online communities, including JDate, BlackSingles and ChristianMingle, which primarily target specific religious, ethnic and other special interest groups. According to the company's spokesperson, Gail Laguna, tailored sites provide Internet daters a better shot at finding a common ground and a lasting connection than more mainstream choices like Match or e-harmony. "They attract serious daters, people looking for long-term relationships. Common values, culture and beliefs are important factors when determining the success of a long-term relationship, and communities for likeminded singles help singles find others that share their similar values and beliefs," she says.
