The online dating and match making as great opportunities

Nowadays, it is completely normal and acceptable to look on the Internet for a partner or your true love. A few years ago, using the Internet to search for a partner was only discussed within close circles of friends. Fortunately, this phase is now over and couples who have met online are now open and proud about their success.  In Canada, online dating is present in everyday life. The good old newspaper advertisements are finally replaced with this method of finding a partner.

But online dating and flirting should not be a replacement for flirting outside of the online world, like flirting in bars or cafes. Single portals can be an excellent complement to meeting people in the offline world. Getting to know somebody and searching for the right partner is just so much faster and convenient on the Internet, at least most of the time. This is because like-minded people can communicate there and meet and flirt at any time of day, without having to sacrifice their busy schedules. When a sophisticated partner agency gets involved, it multiplies the chances of success. At these sites, the people that fit together perfectly are connected from their huge pool of members.  They create the perfect conditions for the development of emotional closeness and love. Without the help of the Internet, it would need a lot more luck.

Can love be directed? Can online dating really work?

Of course, love cannot be controlled. Love must arise naturally. Though it often comes as a surprise from out of nowhere,  sometimes steamrolling you with outbreaks of feelings that you would never have expected,  there are also times that love develops slowly- like a delicate plant that grows shy and gingerly, until it materializes into something great that cannot be overlooked or denied.

Nevertheless, although love is a feeling that cannot be planned or enforced, love is at least conveyable. It can be motivated by creating the conditions for the feelings to flourish. 
Recently, a recipe for love (the experimental generation of interpersonal closeness) of the famous scientist and psychologist Arthur Aron was republished in the New York Times.  It describes how two strangers can fall in love based on a guide. To achieve this, only 36 questions must be answered mutually. It sounds like a miracle, the philosopher's stone, or perhaps a fairy tale, and yet there is some truth in the study that the feelings of love can be promoted or it can be made easier to fall in love.

Dating agencies start right there. They introduce people that fit well together. That makes the search much easier. Contrary to the search for a partner on the road, online services assure you that the potential prospect is single. In addition to that, online services assure you that he would match better with you according to the selection algorithm. The advantages are obvious such as almost impoosible disappointments in regard to the relationship status or any big surprises in the personality of your match.

The advantages of these methods can only be based on statistical experience, but the basics for this purpose are created at the best dating agencies using well-founded scientific personality tests of each member. Psychological and sociological knowledge of relationship science are translated into a mostly secret, but effective algorithm, that matches members with a predicted future harmonious partnership. That is the core competence of any matchmaking service.

Of course, as in life, there is no 100% guarantee that the two people matched together will actually fall in love. No one can control that. However, the conditions (according to science) are particularly good. Why should you not use and take advantage of  this chance?

Tips in dealing with the online matchmaking service

• At all reputable dating agencies, there is the possibility to register for free. This possibility should always be used. Although you generally cannot contact any other member with the free membership, you can still get a comprehensive impression and use it as basis to decide for or against the matchmaking provider.
   
• The personality test at the beginning of the membership should be taken seriously. This forms the basis for the proposals of suitable partners and is, therefore, extremely important. Answering the questions should be done very honestly and naturally.
   
• Detailed and filled up profiles will receive more attention and increase the chances of success. Users of partner agencies should ensure that their profile is completely filled. But it should always still be quality before quantity. A meaningful but brief profile can be more successful than a shallow and meaningless but long profile description.
   
• Netiquette should be maintained on the dating portals. A polite and charming approach is more effective than a direct and harsh contact form. A proper salutation and farewell words are a minimum requirement. However, the conversation should also not continue endlessly via the portal. A timely personal meeting may give you more insight and shows whether the commitment is worthwhile.
