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

Like most of the population I cringed when I first saw John and Edward in the X-Factor - was this to be the Irish representative - how embarrassing! However, they have grown on me more and more over the last few weeks. Sure, they don't have a note in their head but they are sooo entertaining and enthusiastic. You can see that they are loving every minute of it and their enjoyment is infectious. I find myself now eager to see what they will come up with next - they will probably never get a recording contract but I'd go to see them if they were in Dublin cos I know it would be a really fun night out.
This got me to thinking about when you meet new people. Often we are very dismissive of people because something they do at that first meeting irritates us or we make an instant decision about them based on a first impression. But many people grow on us - think about people you are forced to be with - work colleagues, friends of friends etc. some of these people probably really annoyed us at first but as we gave them time (because we had to) they gradually grow on us.
We never allow for this when we are dating - we make instant decisions based on first impressions - maybe we should take a little more time and let people grow on us a little before showing them door!.
Happy Dating!
