Internet Dating Service: Your Love Is Out There

Internet Dating Service - A Great Way to Meet New People

Dear Dating Dilemma Team:

"I'm 20 years old and kind of shy. Girls are always coming up to me and asking me out and flirting. They always tell me I'm a hottie and everything but I'm really not comfortable talking to people face to face in these situations. For instance, the other day, I was at the bookstore and this girl kind of brushed past me when she reached for a magazine. She smelled so good--like some kind of honey flower. I never knew that i could feel that way from a girl before, but she made me tingle and I became really nervous.

Dating was never really a priority to me, but this girl was really pretty with long, tan legs. Her skirt was high and it was clear that she must be a dancer or a runner. Well, I got this feeling she would sit down next to me on this bench and she did! But I was so nervous! So, when she put her hand on my knee, I didn't know what to do, I started to panic and I ended up throwing up all over the bookstore like some freak. I couldn't find the bathroom and ended up running around the bookstore, vomiting on anyone that had the misfortune of running into me! I never saw her again. Do you think that if I take things slow I could chill out? Should I try an online dating service? Would a Internet dating service be a good way for me to just meet people without actually seeing them right away? And if an Internet dating service is a good place for me to start, what kind of Internet dating service should I try?

Dear 'Explosively confused,'

Wow! You gave us a lot of info there! First of all, it's all OK! Have you ever considered speed dating?

It's OK to be nervous. It's OK to be shy. And yes, you answered your own question - you should try an Internet dating service to try and overcome your acute shyness. Internet dating is perfect for you because you'll be able to begin a relationship without having to meet the person right away! That's the beauty of an Internet dating service.

Most Internet dating services allow you to email or chat back and forth with people you might be interested in. Then if you reach a point where you're comfortable enough to meet in person, you won't be as nervous as you would be if it was a blind date. You'll feel more relaxed and that nervous thing will fade. When you finally meet the person you are interested in, you'll be much more relaxed.
