It’s been tremendously frustrating for you to continuously be disappointed while using online dating sites.

You have been online dating for a while, and keep getting the same result.

You struggle to receive matches.

Several of the few you matched with ended up ghosting you.

Those you managed to meet up with in person on a date, you never saw again.

All of this has finally brought you to where you are now.

You are thinking about giving up on online dating entirely.

All the dreams you had about meeting the girl of your dreams on internet dating sites have been soured by your experiences on them.

You want out.

This said, know that in this day and age more people are meeting online than through any other venue.

As the world has become more technologically advanced, that has pervaded into our dating habits as well.

We are constantly on our smartphones whether we are in public or at home and whether we are among friends or strangers.

Technology has become a massive part of who we are as people and what we do in our day to day lives.

It’s vital you think about this before giving up on online dating entirely.

Most people are meeting each other online in this day and age.

That pretty girl you see at work every day who is single is most likely on a dating app or talking to potential dates through DMs on her social media.

The same applies to the other pretty girl you see at your gym after work during the week who is also single.

She is most likely on a dating app too or chatting with several men in her DMs on social media who have expressed an interest in her.

So there are plenty of people online dating, whether it be through dating sites or social media.

People you would never expect.

As we become more of a technologically centered world, our ability to socialize with the opposite gender, who are total strangers, is at a deficit.

You, alongside many other men, probably have an issue with approaching or talking to women you don’t know in public.

Think about how many times you have seen a pretty girl you would have loved to talk to, but stopped yourself from doing so.

Think about everything you were thinking in these moments, such as whether she has a boyfriend or whether she would be attracted to a guy like you.

Eventually, you decided against making a move.

You aren’t the only guy that has done this over and over again whenever you have seen a pretty girl in public that you found attractive.

That is what plenty of men do out in the real world.

If you choose to give up on online dating entirely, are you ready to put yourself out there and take risks in opening conversations with women?

She doesn’t necessarily have to be a complete stranger.

She could be someone you are somewhat familiar with, having met her through an interest group such as run club or archery.

However, even in these scenarios where you are somewhat familiar with the girl, you usually have to make the approach, open the conversation, and ultimately ask her out.

Are you prepared for this?

Although it has become a technological world, there remain plenty of women who are open to meeting men out in the real world.

Either way, meeting women and connecting with them takes work and risk.

You are opening yourself up to the possibility of rejection and ghosting.

This is whether you are online dating or meeting women in the real world.

Before giving up on online dating entirely, consider whether you are genuinely ready to put yourself out there in the real world.

One of the big advantages of using online dating apps is that rejection doesn’t feel anywhere near as gut-wrenching as it is when a girl rejects you in the real world.

Not to mention, another major benefit of online dating is that it eliminates the need to go from bar to bar or interest group to interest group in the real world in search of a possible date.

As disappointing as online dating has been so far, a few tweaks here and there, such as posting high-quality photos of yourself and learning how to flirt online during conversation to keep a woman’s interest piqued, could change the entire trajectory of your online dating experience for the better.
