Why online dating??

I am aware that online dating is very popular nowadays, but I must say I have never felt comfortable and could not make myself signing up for any of those websites... I do not think I ever will... I would need the so-called human touch that you cannot get in the virtual world... (You can still get hurt of course.)

I do think that people nowadays spend way too much time on social websites, i.e. Facebook, like their lives depended on it... I can understand its benefits too, but still think it is way overrated.

If you do want to meet with lots of people and seek for new relationships (of any kind) then in my opinion the best way to do that is travel a lot - all around the world!

You will get to see this Planet and hopefully make some new friends too, but at least you would definitely packet in some new adventures. You cannot live a better life than that...!
