Finding Your Life Partner
This past weekend, my wife and I celebrated our fourth anniversary. We met at a previous job. Many of our married friends met in college or at a party. Now, it seems that more and more people are turning to online dating services, such as harmony.com or match.com, when looking for a partner.
It seems to me that there is something special about meeting the old-fashioned way, by chance and in-person. At very least, you have a better story of where you met than just naming a website.
I heard a radio ad for eventsandadventures.com the other day in the car. Unlike harmony.com and match.com, singles have the opportunity to meet in person during a shared interest activity. I know nothing about the Events and Adventures service or how much it charges, but it does sound like a better approach than relying on the computerized matches of online dating sites.
There’s really no need to join an online dating service at all. If you’re looking for a partner, simply take an active role in your community. By joining an organization you’re interested in, you’ll have an excellent chance of finding someone special with a shared interest.
