Although you have a lot going for yourself, there is something missing.

Sometimes, you don’t realize there is something missing until you are alone with your thoughts on a day that there isn’t much going on.

A day where you are sitting on your balcony gazing out into the horizon or sitting on your back porch enjoying a light beverage and watching your sprinklers going off in the garden.

Then it hits you.

You don’t have someone special in your life.

In that moment, it hits you that you have spent so much time making big moves in your life that you haven’t left much room to figure out who you are and what a compatible mate looks like.

You have spent so much time working on your education, career, building your social status, etc., that you haven’t had the time or wherewithal to have this conversation with yourself.

You have dated girls here and there and have had some short-lived relationships, but you are yet to meet someone you think of as having lifelong potential as a mate.

Now that we live in a technological age, you have heard of online dating sites and apps.

In fact, you already know a few people who have either used them or have family and friends who have.

You have always brushed off the idea of signing up on an online dating site and app.

It just has never rubbed you the right way.

However, as you have gotten older and have watched a number of your colleagues, friends, and family meet people from online dating sites and apps, you are now questioning your stance on online dating sites and apps.

Yes, there remains a stubbornness within you. You want to believe that you are better than having to “debase” yourself into using online dating sites and apps.

Nonetheless, as yet another colleague, friend, and family member meets a match through these sites and apps and looks seemingly happy, you are questioning your stance.

Additionally, you aren’t getting any younger.

There comes a time when you have accomplished so much in your life that there isn’t that much left that you desire to accomplish.

Being that the same drive you once had to succeed in work, school, and socioeconomic level is no longer a primary driver, you are forced as a human being to address your relationship status.

This is where the drive is no longer a distraction, and your hunger to achieve more economic, professional, and social success isn’t as strong as it once was.

All of a sudden, you realize that all of these accomplishments are great, and you love how they have made you feel, but without someone to share them with, they aren’t as emotionally fulfilling as they once were.

Gone are the days when getting on an online dating site or app was an embarrassment and only for people who are socially awkward and have no social life.

In this day and age, even the most successful people in profession and socioeconomic level are using online dating sites and apps because of how much they save time and streamline the process of finding the most compatible match.

It beats another night out on the town, uncertain of what you will find.

On online dating sites and apps, you are capable of narrowing down what you are looking for in a potential life partner with an algorithm that makes sure that your paths align, resulting in a match.

Yes, you should bother with online dating sites and apps.

Your lifelong mate could be a swipe away.
