Dating Online and Modernity
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

The modern world is truly here and we are definitely in it. Today we can do feats of wonder that would have baffled and bemused the prophets of old, such as calling and speaking to anyone, anywhere in the world -and with a cellular phone, no less. This same feat-making is present in our automobiles that zoom about at breakneck speeds, our homes that insulate us from the cruelties of nature at her worst, and of absolute brilliance, as with scientists who study computer science, chaos theory, astrophysics, or any of other nearly innumerous fields of interest. Yet we can also be assured of our modernity with such simple truths, such as dating online.

Dating online has become popular, and with good reason. For a fairly nominal fee, dating companies are able to allow prospective couples to "meet" in cyberspace. This can happen in one of two basic ways. First there is the simple matter of viewing a man or woman's vital statistics, as job, religion, and other basic information that may seem pertinent. This allows interested (or not interested ) people to either "get to know" a date candidate better, or to bow out gracefully, with the other person never even knowing that they've been rejected, as they've never spoken together, much less met.

Then, there is also the option of a "real time" meeting between two people possibly interested in dating. In this way the couple can speak together if they've the proper hardware to do so, just as on a phone, or by typing to each other in private real-time chat rooms. This form of dating online is great as it allows people to get to know one another without any serious attachments or commitments, while also providing a bit more safety than actual dating, though this would be the next step.

Of course, for the purposes of dating online people need not go to a dating service, even. Many people enjoy dating via men and women they've met in chat rooms and their "dating" is isolated to this form of non-physical dating for months, even years. Sometimes this form of mental copulation skirts the traditional ideas not only of dating, but of meeting one another as many participants in this cyber ritual live on different continents.
