Katandra Shanel's Blog: Life Is Just Awful. Ain't It? - Posts Tagged "computer-love"

You’ve got all these online sites like match.com, zoosk, eharmony, plenty of fish, and my favorite... mocospace.com!!

Online dating is still pretty taboo in the Black/African American Communities especially those communities embedded in the south. Can you imagine telling your great aunt Ema Lou you’re getting married to a John Doe you met off the world wide web of lies? It would cause a family uproar, A friend of mine met & married the love of her life via the Internet. She has since started a family with him. They maintain a love of each other and family as well as raise children together. He is, her ‘Once In A Lifetime True Love’. But get this… their parents, his nor hers know how they truly met. Now that’s the scary part. Personally, I like the idea of the extra screening process. A little chatting. The exchange of phone numbers. The 1st date. When you’re proceeding with caution you tend to slow down in the garden!! This allows you to weed out the bad ones. We just live in such a different world! If you open yourself to a social life online, you’ve gotta know that eventually, love will come a’inboxing! I say. Give it a shot. Live life. And never be afraid to fall in love. Even if the backdrop of your first meeting is indeed 1’s and 0’s!!
