I’ve had so many girlfriends tell me just how shallow the “dating pool” really is, so I started wondering if that is true or just a perception. Are we colored by our past experiences of relationships that didn’t pan out (how could we not be), and how do we keep getting back up and getting back on the dating horse when a relationship ends? If we take a time out to gather our senses and heal – how long do we wait to try it all again?
Are the dating currents too strong, or the waters too cold…or are men and women simply afraid of not being understood or of being hurt one more time?
With the rise in divorce and the timesharing of children, do we even have time to date or find a mate…or are all just out of practice with dating and romance?
I still believe matchmaking is the way to go…fixing up our friends with other people we know. It has more of sane and friendly feel to it, with more of an upside.
What do YOU think?
Have you seen the interactive singles map of the U.S.? You can adjust the slider at the top of the page to view different age groups. Just to give another perspective…

Thanks for the pointer Elizabeth, this is really impressive.
First of all let’s thank the blog owner for this finding which is truly a great one, and it’s quite uncommon these days to find entertaning content. Online dating (or even offline dating) can be very hard given the fact that there are so many people out there looking for a relationship. Big numbers can lie sometimes and you have to be unique and approach your date with a certain attitude and self confidence. There are so many online dating sites out there that you don’t even know where to look but there are a few great ones where its worth to spend your time. online dating like everything else requires time and patience. I shall wish the best for everybody on this exciting journey!
