Just
because you are using an online dating service to find a suitable friend or
partner doesn’t mean that you can’t ask the advice of your friends and family
for their opinions of the person you are communicating with.
There are people
now who know of no other way of dating than online dating sites and it is not
uncommon for them to show others the profiles of the people they are interested
in to see what they think of their potential partners.
It is always
good to get the opinions of people you trust and online dating sites can make
it easy for you to do this. You shouldn’t share the communications you have
with other people online however their online profiles are a different matter.
Many people will
also allow their friends and family members to help them choose people they
think are suitable for them.
It can be fun
and exciting looking through all the potential people online to see who might
be worth contacting for more information.
Years ago many
people would have tried to hide the fact that they were using online dating
services to find someone but as this has become a mainstream way of dating you
shouldn’t have any concerns about letting people know that you are using these
sites to find someone.
You might be
surprised to find that there are more people that you know who are using them
that you might have expected.
At the end of
the day it doesn’t really matter where you find someone provided they are the
right person for you and if finding that person is made easier with the help of
friends and family then let them know and let them help you to get what you
want.
Isn’t that what
friends are for?
