I have no objection to dating agencies especially internet ones and have recommended several of my friends use them. I think in this day and age it can be hard to met new people. Many people just don't have the social life/time whereby they can meet someone they have something in common with. By stating your interests first there is a common link whereby you can start up a conversation - how easy is that in a pub without being thought of as loose if you are a woman. Many that use them do not have that sort of confidence where they can just talk to anyone.

Of course you have to take sensible precautions when meeting people you have struck up a cyber relationship but many of the initial barriers can be broken down first. I would have thought it was 50 times easier than going on a blind date. If you don't gel with them then you move onto the next one and so long as you don't give out details of your address/home phone then you should be able to walk away fairly easily.

[QUOTE="jinnyj, post: 2075339, member: 65066"] I have no objection to dating agencies especially internet ones and have recommended several of my friends use them.
