(Mybrotha.COM) - With online dating participation reaching into the millions, online dating is no longer considered a seedy medium where creepy men lurk and spiteful women seek revenge. Dating sites have become the new social haven for young singles who are actively searching of a life-long partner.

No online dating site will ever guarantee complete protection from the narrow-minded, lustful, or totally ludicrous. What they can guarantee, however, is a large database full of potential love interests--most of whom surf the online dating world for the exact same reasons--to get their dating game on!

For those of you new to online dating and dating websites, be not afraid. You should approach online dating like you would any other date. Err on the side of caution and when all else fells, use the ever popular line, "It's not you, it's me!"

The only true difference in online dating and traditional dating, is how much access you have to different persons and what you do (or intend to do) with that access.

Think about it: How long would it take you to meet three women in one day and have them all email you, seeking more information about you? Unless you're a ridiculously good-looking young lad, the chances of that happening aren't that high. Besides, it's rather difficult to entertain three ladies at the same time....that is, of course, unless they want it that way!

But through the various online dating sites, you can meet a number of persons at your convenience. Not only that, but you're totally in control of who you respond to, how often you respond to them, and when/if you will ever meet in person.

Whoa! Did I say, "in person"?

Well, you may eventually want to meet and greet that cute face with the sexy voice, right? When that time comes, you both will hopefully communicate about the venue and whether or not you're having chicken or fish for dinner.

The moral of this story is, online dating is a good thing. It's straightforward, informative, and convenient. Straightforward because you can take your time, scribbling out your profile and putting your best foot forward. It's informative because you can read everything about a prospective mate which includes everything from hobbies and favorite foods, to career choices and what they seek in a mate.

Convenience? Sure it's convenient. Where else could you meet three women from different cities and different backgrounds, all within a few hours? ¤
