Do you Chat?

I can remember when I was in high school in the mid 90′s and the Internet was really jsut getting big.  Internet chat rooms were so popular.  I hung out in one Internet chat room after another.  Then we really didn’t worry as much about the safety issues and child predators. This was still unknown territory, inexperienced.  My sister actually met her husband in one of these chat rooms.  We didn’t know what we had to fear back then, and I look back now and am so glad that the two of them worked out and he wasn’t one of those “scary people” we sooned learned sometimes existed on the other end of that Internet connection.  From those basic chat rooms, the Internet has come so far.

Now we have so many different online matchmaking sites. It seems like everytime I turn on the tv and pay any attention to the commercials, I always hear of a site that could match me up with the perfect man.  Lately I’ve heard an advertisement on the radio of a dating/matchmaking site that is just for people in my area.   And today what do I discover but a site that is just for horse lovers to meet up and be matched together called Equestrian Cupid.  What are the odds?  I never knew such a thing existed, and it even has a FREE sign-up.  Now personally I’m not much into horses, but the idea of such a specialized site kind of appealed to me.

If there was a site out there for matchmaking workaholics or Cowboy fans or teachers or those that love to read….now those sites I might just find someone for me.  I’ve actually always been kind of frightened by the online matchmakikng sites, but I’m not sure how I feed about these customized ones.  If people were honest and only those who genuinely love  horses (or whatever type of site it is), it might really be a great way to find a lifetime friend.

    I am wary of meeting people online too. One too many stories about the young girl that make me nervous to just have someone I met online some to my house.
