Dating in an economic downturn

When times are good people have many options when it come to dating and anything else. But when times are bad, like now, our choices are somewhat diminished. Where do countless singles go to meet people?

If money isn't really a consideration you can go to multiple clubs and look for people to ask out. What if a lack of money deters you from this option? A great idea is to visit an online dating site for free. This choice makes things easier, not only don't you have to spend a dime but searching through countless members couldn't be easier.

Singles dating is a major chore and expensive so this option is life-saver.

My first online dating experience

I have been single for a while now and dating has become a real time consuming and expensive chore. I remember when I started dating and it was fun. Going to a party and meeting other singles, what could be better. Now it's painful.

What do other people do to combat the problem? Do they know something I don't? A friend of mine told me that he likes to visit a particular free dating site called BaseCandy.com, and he claims to have met many quality girls to date.

I'm a bit skeptical about the types of singles you meet in such an environment. But I figured I would give it a try because I don't want to be the type of person that dismisses an idea out of hand, I think we should try things before reaching a conclusion about something.

To my surprise and amazement it was a pretty enjoyable experience. I met lots of nice single girls. With some time I should start dating again. This should be a lesson to everybody that has reservations about joining an online dating site free for singles and everybody in between.

This is an update regarding my experience with a girl I met online. We went to dinner and the conversation had a nice flow, nothing forced and no awkward silences. We talked about family and friends and what it was like living the singles life in NYC and dating multiple people. She had some interesting stories to tell and I was absolutely riveted hanging on her every word. Ok, I'm just kidding but the conversation did go well on our first date.

I hope to see that girl again.
