What’s old is new again. In a new twist, online dating sites are hosting in-person singles events for members only in local clubs and bars or around activities, events or sports- so the attendees should be safer bets than random strangers who have not had to go through the checks now being required by sites like Match.com. It may also be more cost effective than a night of bar hopping in the hopes of meeting someone special. After all, they will presumably be filled with singles who are actively looking to meet compatible others to date and more and the events are either included in the membership or can be had with a small fee.
In this fast paced world where virtual contact is becoming the primary way for people to communicate and share, the idea of an old-fashioned in person get together has much appeal. Besides, online daters often spend months getting to know someone virtually, but when they finally meet, the chemistry is just not there. When folks connect in person, they usually know within minutes if there is chemistry and if this person holds any real interest or possibility for them.
Consider taking the time to check these out through your online dating site. If it doesn’t offer them, consider becoming a member of one who does. Not only could it save you some time and money- you just might have some good old fashioned fun in the meantime.
