 I am finding that there are several individuals that are addicted to online dating. As I made my way through the online dating world I found/met several ladies that seemed or appeared to be addicted to online dating. I mean one young lady I met had over 100 names and numbers in her phone which she boasted about on our date. I couldn't believe it. So, it made me wonder is it an addiction? Is it an ego thing? Are they picky? waiting for something better to come along? Or truly trying to find the right one? I think online dating is fun and can be a lot of fun. But I think the online dating addiction will prevent a lot of individuals with moving on to the next stages of relationships. Don't get me wrong. Some people have settled on this is the lifestyle that they will lead. But I think people need to recognize when they are addicted to online dating. I wonder if there is help out there on this topic.
