When I talked to you guys about handling rejection, I sort of thinking about this sentiment I heard last night — that meeting people online is far easier than meeting people at a bar or a diner or a bookshop.
How much of this is true, I wonder?
I can only guess that a lot of individuals find refuge by being on the internet. People tend to be less uptight and accommodating in places where people congregate online, may it be in chat rooms, dating sites, social networking site or even blogs. You have to, otherwise, no one will come visiting your …read more

I’ve been noticing that apart from the usual online dating sites, people have resorted to social networking sites to find dates.
It’s actually not a bad idea if you think of it. What do you really need in a site to find someone you can date anyway? Isn’t it all about finding a person whom you can connect with?

And I’m referring to face-to-face meet ups and not online.
I did mention before that I’m pretty old fashioned when it comes to finding a potential mate, reason being I’m a romantic. I do like chance encounters so whenever I step out of the door, I’d often find myself wondering if I’m going to meet someone that day.
This thought came to mind since I’ll be heading to my home country, Philippines, tomorrow. Well, technically I’m stopping by Singapore first and spend quite a bit of time there before I head to Manila. And from my experience in travelling, I know there …read more
