Online dating isn’t depressing.
It is only depressing to people who have gone about doing it the wrong way.
If you already have personal issues in your life and decide to get into online dating, you would only be exacerbating those personal issues.
This is a mistake people often make when they start online dating.
They believe that online dating will help solve personal issues that they have going on in their real lives and they join with this outcome in mind.
However, this is not what online dating was created for.
Online dating isn’t something that will fix your personal issues.
If you had personal issues with your own life before you started online dating, these are the issues that are actually depressing you, not online dating.
Again, people often make the mistake of thinking that online dating is going to get rid of their personal issues and when they discover that this didn’t happen, they begin to put the blame for their depression on online dating.
Online dating has nothing to do with the fact that you feel depressed.
If you had taken an honest look at your life before you started online dating, there is a good chance that you would have discovered that you were already feeling depressed in your own life before you even started online dating.
Coming into online dating only exacerbates these personal issues because you will meet some people online who either got into online dating with the same issues that you have or other people will simply be turned off by the fact that you are having personal issues.
The people who get turned off will pick up on your personal issues through the way you answer certain questions that they may ask you or in the haste in which you may want to meet them for a date in real life.
In essence, even people that you meet on an online dating site will be able to read into these personal issues that you have and they will not want to be a part of it.
The people you meet online who may have the same personal issues you have would typically be just as negative as you are about life and relationships in their interactions with you on the dating site.
In essence, you would be preaching to the choir.
Eventually, you will both get so bored of the same manner of conversation that you will both eventually move on to someone else to cry and complain to on the dating site.
Again, if you came into online dating with these personal issues, you would only make yourself that much more depressed because the people that you meet in online dating will either amplify your sentiment or cut you out from communication after a while.
In order to have an experience in online dating that isn’t depressing, you should first and foremost take care of your personal issues.
Also, you have to come into online dating with a positive and realistic attitude.
You should understand that you will most likely not meet your match overnight.
The majority of people who succeed in meeting their match online often do so after three to six months of online dating.
Hence, you have to look at online dating as a long-term process as opposed to an overnight process.
If you keep looking at online dating as something that should deliver quick results, this kind of impatience will make you that much more unappealing to talk to on the dating site.
People will be able to tell that you are in too much of a hurry or that you are simply too negative about the online dating process or just relationships in general.
This would make these people very unwilling to continue interacting with you.
If more and more people refuse to continue interacting with you online, this would only make your online dating experience that much more depressing.
