Love has gotten so weird now a days and it's just not possible for people to even identify whats the best way to meet someone. Between hanging out at bars, going to friends weddings, even walking down the street, one hopes to find "The One" at some random moment where you just make eye contact and BAM! Love was found. But of course we don't live on an LA set for a movie, so legit, love is a little bit more complicating than what we expected. So where do people go find love now a days? The Internet of course! I mean it makes sense to some extent. We use to to find what we need no matter how rare the item is, to find answers to questions that we cannot answer ourselves, and it is conveniently placed at the palm of our hands. All in all, the "easiest" way to find love. It's no Romeo and Juliet, it's no Cleopatra and Mark Antony, and it's definitely noooo Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak, but what we believed to be love has transformed into this little screen that we can either place it on a desk, lap, or palm. Now the question is...is it really L-O-V-E?
Online Dating:
Now you never know how this is going to go. It looks normal but when you translate it, this is normally what it comes down to:

Hear me out..
Meeting People Outside of the Web: AKA- A bar or whateverss:
Hear me out..
I am not trying to say that everything online is fake, because I have heard a lot of sucess stories. But I think of online dating kinda like buying a car on Ebay.com. Seems awesome and so easy find, until you buy it, and then you get a BMFuckU rather than a BMW. I'm just saying...shit can get freaky.
Meeting People Outside of the Web: AKA- A bar or whateverss:
Now this can be can great place to meet a person...if you wanna get LAID! lol no but for real though. It is natural to meet someone at a bar, but it is soooooo difficult to establish A.) If this person is cute because your totally WASTED. B.) If this person is a serial killer. or C.) Is this person really trying to get to know me, or trying to have sexy times??
It is so hard to see what it is that this person wants when they meet you because you are at a bar, and you can't ask questions like an online dater can.
You can't ask:
"What are your life goals? Are you looking for a relationship? Are you looking to get serious?"
But you can ask:
"So what do you wanna drink? Are you here with your friends tonight? (Or my personal fav) Do you like sausage with your eggs in the morning?"
It is all so confusing and can lead to mixed signals, while the online dater can easily pick who they want to talk to, and find out what they are looking for. So my question to the world is..Which one is best? I mean I know they both have a lot of pros and cons, but which one really benefits the heart? I am personally not trying to fall in love right now, but online dating is getting insane, and and I just wanna know...
What's all the fuss about finding love? And in the pursuit if it, why is it so difficult???
