A general view of online dating and in particular Irish dating online.

I was just thinking today, how strange it is, that, if you are really good friends with someone and then, for what ever reason, you don't see each other for ages, it is really hard to pick up where you left off. With people that you see once or twice a week you have lots to talk about, but people you see once or twice a year can sometimes be really hard work no matter how good a friend they are.
I don't think this has to do with compatibility or preferences. You don't necessarily have to consider people that you talk with every day as "friends" they can be more "acquaintances" but you will still have lots to say to them because you talked to them yesterday and they said they were going to the cinema last night so you then talk about the movie they saw etc.
This is what makes dating so much fun - by the time you have met someone 3 or 4 times you have tonnes to talk about - the first time might be a little strained but again, this is where the joy of online dating comes in - you start the conversation on email so by the time you meet, those awkward silences are well and truly dealt with and you have lots to say to each other - at least that's the theory anyway.
I'd love to hear your comments on this - remember the best comment of the week wins a months free membership on Maybefriends.com - the home of Irish Dating.
