Dating is a fairly simple concept of finding a person who you connect with and have a mutual attraction. It doesn't have to be any more complex than that. Don't take it so personally when someone decides that you aren't the one for them and vice versa. It isn't an insult, just a fact, get on with your life and your search. Everyone deserves the common courtesy of a quick phone call. It doesn't have to get detailed. No reason to tell a guy that his crooked teeth bother you so much that you can never see yourself kissing him, but a quick call to say, "Hey, you're cool, but just not for me. Thanks for the date." How hard is that? Also, "Online Dating" is a misnomer. You are not dating anyone online. Online introductions and conversations take place, but until you meet, you are not dating. The web has provided a beautiful tool to allow you to expand your possible match horizons, find someone with common interests and gauge their personality long before actually talking to them or seeing them. However, nothing can replace the butterflies in the stomach and electricity in the air of actually spending time with someone. Great work Jeremy.
