How To Know If You Are Ready For Match Dating After A Break Up

Christian Singles

It’s but normal for someone who had just been from a failed relationship to feel lost. After all, having a broken heart may be true to the word itself, you will feel shattered inside with a very minimal hope of recovering again. Then you learn that you can still find someone who can help you feel whole again through match dating. But how will you be sure that you are ready to accept a new partner again?

Here’s a checklist that will help you assess yourself:

Are you ready to restore your self again?

You may be successful in deciding that to be back on your feet again but doing it is another thing. As always, thinking something is different from doing it. Start off by asking yourself if you can change the way you look – a new hair do, a new color of nails, a new cap. If you can answer yes right away, then you can put your feet forward for a new relationship.

Are you really ready to meet the world again?

A man or a woman who had just broken up tends to isolate themselves from the world. Are you excited to go out and meet a whole new group of people again? Remember, even if you will be dating one person initially, you’ll have to embrace the people behind your partner in the end. You will need to assess yourself if you are already ready for those future encounters and if you are looking forward to it. If yes, then it’s another clue that it may be the right time for you to date again.

Have you let go of the excess baggage?

Of course it’s not easy to forgive your ex-partner but before you enter a new relationship or head out into one, make sure that you have made some actions to at least forgive yourself or your ex-partner to some degree. Looking at what they call the “silver lining” of the breakup may help you think of even a tiny space to let the face of your ex-partner stop haunting you. Leaving that excess baggage of a bad memory of someone will make it easier for you to load new and more beautiful memories of a new partner.

If you can answer yes to these questions then it is time to get back to dating and why not try Match Dating Online, give it a try!

Online Dating Tips You Should Know

Christian Singles

There are a lot of people today who have become quite interested in online dating. Because of the advancements made in technology, it has become possible for people to stay in touch through the internet as well as their mobile phones. This has also paved the way for men and women to get to know one another through the same medium. There are a number of online dating sites today but still, it is important to practice caution when trying to find love through the web. Here are some of the most important online dating tips that both men and women should know.

The most important thing to consider when trying to date online is your security. If you are interested in a particular website, you should read more about it before you sign up. Find out what other people have said about it and take note of both the good and not so good comments they have said. Although it can be exciting to personally meet someone you have been speaking with for weeks or perhaps months, you should still be careful. Make sure not to give him or her personal details such as your home number, address and passwords. When you are using your mobile phone when you are with him, it is best to keep whatever it is that you are doing private so you may want to install a privacy screen protector. No matter how much you already trust the person, it still is best to be sure than be sorry later.

When you are making your dating profile, make sure to be honest about it. Use your real photo and don’t make up things if only to seem more attractive. Men and women know if someone is being natural and if you are not, chances are they would not want to get to know you.

Match.com to Screen For Sex Offenders – They Don’t Already?

Christian Singles

Match.com announced that they will begin checking the National Sex Offender Registry when people sign up to use their online dating service today.  What is truly amazing is that they were not already doing so.  Perhaps I was remiss in thinking that this would be a logical thing for a dating service to be doing.  Regardless, they are doing so now.

The company has started doing this in large part because of a huge lawsuit filed in California by a woman that says she was raped by a Match.com date.  The lawsuit claimed that the man forced his way into her apartment on the second date and proceeded to rape her.  The man named in the lawsuit allegedly had six different sexual battery charges in his history in Los Angeles County, not to mention anywhere else.

The woman says that because Match.com did not screen for predators that are known, that she was at risk.  This seems contrary to what Match.com had in their terms of service.

In the terms of service and enrollment agreement on Match.com, it clearly states that individuals are solely responsible for any and all meetings and results between dates.  In other words, Match.com has no responsibility when damages are incurred from meeting someone on the site and seeing them. (paraphrased from the site)  The terms are rather clear, but that does not seem to be stopping the case from moving forward.

The woman says that it was rape, while the man claims it was consensual.  Regardless, the case is one that seems to be changing the way Match.com does business.  They are changing the background checks on the site, and are now going to bounce the names against the registry.  It seems that this is a simple enough thing to do and one that should have been done to start with.

Perhaps that is the reason why the lady is pursuing this action in court.  While the website seems protected with the wording included on the sign up sheet, it still can be held accountable under certain conditions.  Apparently Jane Doe’s lawyers feel strongly enough about the case to pursue it.  It should be interesting to see what comes of this and if it will change the industry standards in the months to come.

A safer online dating environment is certainly not a bad thing, but how much of that onus should fall upon the heads of the website?  Is much of this still not on us? I guess it depends upon what we perceive that we are paying for, and what we are actually getting for our membership.  Maybe it would be a good thing to offer extensive background checks on prospective matches.  I know that I would certainly pay for it if I were back in the dating scene somehow.  Safety is the most important thing when it comes to online dating, even though we may not realize it until after something bad like this happens.

We shall see in Los Angeles Court in due time.  It should be an interesting battle indeed.
