Many of us want love, but seem to be looking around in all of the wrong places- all except the
internet! Have you ever considered connecting with your potential
soul mate in the virtual world? I'm talking about online dating, now considered the 'newest' and most common dating tool to find love.
In the article called
The New Dating Tools: A Card and a Wink, I read about different ways you can connect with someone through the
internet. Lori Cheek, a 37 year old architect founded a venture such as
Cheek'd which had its debut in May.
"Users receive calling cards to dole out to alluring strangers they encounter in their everyday lives, be it in a club or in a subway on their morning commute. Recipients of the cards can use the identification code printed on them to log onto Cheekd.com and send a message to their admirer. A pack of 50 cards and a month’s subscription to Cheek’d, where users can receive messages and post information about themselves, is $25. There is no fee for those who receive cards to communicate with an admirer through the site."Each card has a cute message on it which communicates exactly what you really would like to say to your crush! It's a great tool for those who are shy. You simply slip him/her the card and hopefully if they are interested they will find you according to your
Cheekd.com information displayed on the surface.
Most find this way to be beneficial because it's faster, more organic and less formal. Companies such as
Match.com and
eHarmony.com definitely have competition as more and more online dating site arise and are trying to advance technology-based love connections because it's easy, fast, and best of all exciting!
What is your opinion about online dating? Have you ever tried it? Would you? or do you think it's just a desperate attempt at finding love?
If you have a story (good or bad) please share!
