‘’Modern ways of finding your perfect match!” <3

We all are people ,we all have feelings and – following to the song – we all need somebody to love!
But our society changes , we are more modern and we are getting to live faster and faster . We change our habits, priorities ,views about different things, ways of spending time with people and also the way to get to know new ones, especially when we want to meet this  perfect special one person. 
For sure still much or even more of the couples met by ‘traditional ’ way (thanks to mutual friends, family,school, work,party etc.) but the amount of people who met by maybe  less popular way and then became couples is now increasingly growing.

Firstly, we have internet and we are spending few hours per week siting in front of the sreen, visiting websites and talking to other people on the forums and chats. There are portals like sympatia.pl which gather people interested in new acquitances .This is an easy and not stressful way to get to know someone better and decide whether we want to meet face to face or not. And finally we’ve got facebook – inexhaustible  source of information about (almost) everyone!- his/her likes, hobbys, friends, studies etc. and what can be also important - there are photos.


Next thing that gets more and more popular nowadays, is speed dating. It gives a possibility to meet a lot of people in short period of time in one place .These events are organized in cafe’s, pubs and even on the universities (e.g UW has such meeting exactly this Friday). And what does it look like?  Men and women are rotated to meet each other over a series of short "dates", usually lasting from 3 to 8 minutes depending on the organization running the event. At the end of each interval, the organizer rings a bell, clinks a glass, or blows a whistle to signal the participants to move on to the next date. At the end of the event participants submit to the organizers a list of who they would like to provide their contact information to. If there is a match, contact information is forwarded to both parties. Contact information cannot be traded during the initial meeting, in order to reduce pressure to accept or reject a suitor to his or her face. So would you take part in something like this??
Moreover , there are a lot of tv shows where people try to find their perfect match! But in my opinion you have to be couregous enough to take part in something like that and I’m not sure if it really ‘works’ ,I consider only one of them really interesting . It’s called ‘Dating in the dark’ - it is a reality show   created in the Netherlands where 3 single men and 3 single women move into a light-tight house getting to know each other and form bonds in total darkness.
And what do you think about it? Do you get to know a lot of people thanks to internet? Would you take part in speed dating or maybe even in this kind of the reality show?

  1. I think, it is fantastic idea for shy, bashful, insecure people. Nowadays, the internet provides plenty of opportunity to know somebody. Many people have such problems with relationships. It allows that type of person can be more open for friendship. It is really important to have a contact with people. I'm worry that many people became a outsiders.

    "Dating in the dark" - amazing!:) I am waiting for Polish version :):):)

  2. Internet is a high risk and dangerous way for a relationship - randomness, lie, administration of a false identity. Internet has meant that people close to home, avoid contact with people, even over the Internet will connect with friends, and then complain that they are lonely and shy. I don't like the idea of ​​dating in the dark or on the Internet. I think in this way you can't really know the man. I am in favor of traditional meeting and dating.

  3. Nowadays people haven't enough time for love. It's not optimistic but true. People are hardworking, tired and stressed, so they wouldn't go to the party, cafe or other place where they can met their future love. So the internet is good way for they. Dating in the dark is unconventional way for met the right gay or woman but I think that very inerresting and exciting.

  4. Yes, you are right - it is the best way to the shy people could to know somebody, to interact with another people. But before people don't use the Internet to make friens. Among their also were shy peole. They have been written letters, they put one's heart to impress somebody all forces. It was so sweet... To my mind making a pass by internet is a little rude.

  5. Speed dating, dating in the dark, internet dating? I treat it rather as a good fun than real relationship. It is entertaining and interesting but in the same time it is a little bit vain :P However such dates are great occassion to meet someone, who will be your significant other.

  6. Nowadays many people have problem with the maintenance of solid relationships because they don't have time! we are getting faster so it could be a great idea and solution to the problem not only for people who don't have time but also for a shy people. I think that speed date will be very an amazing adventure if we do not treat it too seriously, for example that i have to find one and only girl/guy in the place like that.

  7. Nowadays, when often we don't have time even for ourselves, it's difficult to find time to get to know someone new. Especially when finding this one, the only one person to love is no easy task! I've never tried speed dating or online dating but I know that it's very popular for both - young and older people. I also know that sometimes it works - I have a friend who found her husband on sympatia.pl .. But I will stick with the traditional method of meeting people and maybe i will find my true love like that? or may i already have found .. ;)

  8. I think people always will find the one and only, even if it take a lot of time. Reality shows like "Dating in the dark" or speed dating can help you but it don't have to. I think people should have a lot caurage or they have to be self-confident to participate in these reality shows. We can try find the one on chats and forums but we have to take care when we want to meet people you met in that way. I think in generally we should not hurry with the finding the one. I'm lucky because I already found.

  9. Internet is a good way to find new friends and maybe also a big love. It gives us big opportunities to find people with similar hobbies - and it can be the first step to start a real relativies. Every way is a good way :)

  10. "What the world needs now is love, sweet love, it's the only thing, that there's just too little of"- I love this song and I think that is well suited to this subject, because who of us does not want to be loved? Most people need a second person, who understands us, accepts our disadvantages and gives a sense of security. I agree with previous opinions, that we live too fast- study, work, home, and we really have no time to meet friends and what is sad more often, we don't have time for love. I think that the internet is a good option to know the other person. I know many people who met through Facebook for example, and now they're together. On the other hand, we must be careful because we don't know who sits on the other side. Speed dating seems to be a fantastic adventure, but I don't treat this seriously, because I need a longer conversation. Personally I miss the tradition, when people wrote list to each other. My mum, up to now, has got letters from my dad and other admirers, and I think that is an incredible reminder.

  11. I prefer traditional way to meet with others, but nowadays most of people need this modern way to get to know new ones. But, is it really good for these people? I don't think so. Of course, it's useful for shy, withdraw person who has a problem with contacts in real life, but it doesn't solve their problems.
    Most of them treat this meetings like a fun, others who are desperate with searching perfect person treat it too much serious. In this situation they risk of being disapointed this meeting, what can lead to depression and various problems in society. It can be danger, so we should beware of this conatcts and new acquiantances.
    In my opinion people should try to meet Mr. Right in individual way, which will be the most suitable for them, but it is always necessary to keep consequence in mind.
    I've never got to know new one via Internet, however I have a lot of friends and boyfriend :) it depends on our good intentions so if we want to find our perfect match I'm sure that we find him/her.

  12. I think that meeting people in the Internet can be very dangerous so we should really be careful while doing it and dating with such people. Dating in dark can be quite exciting but I don't believe that dating in dark or online can be a good way to find your big love. I rather believe in more traditional ways.

  13. I think that love is so beautiful and pure feeling, that it doesn't matter how we get to know our beloved. The most important is this bond which will connect us. Personally I am rather an traditionalist. Therefore I do not treat the Internet as a place for searching love. But I know the couple who met on the Internet, exactly by the portal NaszaKlasa ;)And they are still together and they are really happy :)

  14. I don't say NO for this idea, but... I think that the best is interpersonal contact. It's a better way to getting to know new people. Traditional methods give better bases for 'frinds' or something like this. The natural ways of choosing the partner are with smell, look and behaviour. Nowadays we don't think about it, but it's really important.

  15. I don't think that we meet new people by the Internet but we rather continue relations thanks to it :) Personally, I am still in touch with all my friends thanks to chats and social websites. I think chating is a good way to know somebody however sometimes it makes me to be confused because I cant see somebody's reaction and I dont know how to feel about what he said. I would take part in speed dating, why not? Just for fun

  16. In my pinion in present world is strong pressure to be in love and everyone who don't have his(her) perfect match is eccentric and loser. I think it is source of this rapid inflation of websites like e-darling. It is natural that not everyone has got life partner, especially if they are busy. Relationships which are based on fear of being alone and having too little time for another person are artificial.

  17. In my opinion the best way of finding a true love is a interpersonal contact but nowadays we can change an other way. Probably this is the easiest way for people who are shy.
    Speed dating gives the possibility to meet a lot of people in a very short time. I have nerver had a chance to see something like that. But maybe this is a good solution for people withuot time.

  18. Maybe for someone these are good ways to get to know someone. But I think people can really get to know each other in life situations, not in the "experimental conditions". I don't think that I would take part in something like this.

  19. Ways of getting their love described in this text are quite interesting. As for me has always been only one good way - the destination. :P

  20. I don't search for love in my life for now. I believe that it will find me in proper time. Of course it is always great to meet new people and make friends, but sometimes there is no sense in staying in one relationship. Sometimes, it is better not to get too much involved.
    I have once gone on a blind date and it was fun. But there were nothing more between us. :)

  21. I think that these days .. when we do not have time for nothing, still we run is a very interesting solution .. I think that now most people know through the internet ... in total, why not? the more so if it is to your company your team extremely hard to meet someone new .. therefore I think it's a good way .. these meetings a few minutes ... well why not .. if something clicks and the call is to talk about is a sign that you can continue to know ... are at all the people with whom we have no connection .. no common theme .. conversation on the strength ..
    but on the other hand I think it's terrible ... that we have come to this state and the moment that we do not have time for myself ... We are actually very closed in their circles, their problems .. closed to new people .. not really really want them to admit to themselves .. but such a sad reality ... therefore, better so than at all :)

THE MOST TRUSTED  PROFESSIONS Many people say that their job is important for our society, but is it a trustworthy profession? A market research institute asked people about trustworthy professions. Here you will find its results. The Top Five Most Trusted Professions 1. Firefighters A 2009 poll conducted by market research institute GfK found that firefighters ranked as the most trusted profession in Europe and the United States with 92 percent of respondents fining them trustworthy. Perhaps it’s all in the job description—being required to step into the face of danger every time you head out for an assignment is not just admirable, it’s downright heroic. 2. Teachers In the same GfK poll that lauded firefighters, teachers ranked second with 83 percent. It’s a good sign considering that the people responsible for crafting the minds of our children are deemed trustworthy. “I think every teacher recognizes that they are part of a trusted profession—that parents

It can be caused by many things, including for instance: school, work and relations with other people. Here are few tips, that can make you feel better. You can always start with small things, connected with calming your  mind and body. Whenever you start feeling anxious, take a deep breath and try to focus on something restful.
