The thing about dating websites is that it's really kind of creepy. In reality you're sitting in front of your computer flipping through an endless online catalogue, checking to see if someone's up for sale. It's like you're standing up on the podium waiting for someone good to bid on you. How is this really supposed to make us feel. Is this what the next generation has brought us to? Instead of meeting someone randomly on the street or through a friend, millions of users are now signing up online to look for their other half.

I've tried. Deleted my account and recently I've signed up again. But the moment I signed up, I remembered why I had my reservations in the first place. We're all looking. Whether it's for that perfect person or to find chemistry with a total stranger, we're looking. The thing is, I just realized that maybe I'm not ready for dating someone. I'm not ready to take that next step. Maybe I'm afraid of getting hurt again or maybe I think I should focus on me first before considering that I need a significant other in my life.

We all long for companionship. And as we approach closer to the tender age of thirty we come to realize that perhaps we're just scared that we'll end up alone. But if it takes someone else to make you happy how can you ever be happy with yourself?
