In the old days, which aren't so long ago, finding love meant meeting someone in your direct life at the places you frequented. Work, friends, and bars were all hot spots for finding someone to love. Now, with the help of dating sites, we don't have to leave our house to meet someone! But can you actually find love on these dating sites? The truth is that other people are doing it every day, and you can too!

Dating sites are becoming more and more popular, and with good reason! There are a few reasons that dating sites can help find someone to love and not just someone to date.

1. Deal Breakers are Visible Upfront.

This means that everyone has to fill in their likes and dislikes. The categories can include everything from whether you want children to whether or not you smoke. This makes finding someone compatible with you much easier than ever before! In fact, most dating sites are built around compatibility tests.

There are many times that people wait to talk about the important stuff like children, religion, beliefs, values, and so much more that can really determine whether you will be a happy couple or not. This means finding out that you are really not compatible weeks, months, and even years into a relationship.

No more wasted time only to find out that the person you've been dating wants 3 children while you want none. No more dating someone who wants to live on the beach in Maui when you want to live in the mountains. Now you will know those important things upfront.

2. You Can Get a Feel For Them Without Talking to Them.

Why is this good? Well...first people have a hard time lying or faking it with their body language, written words, and eyes. So many people are excellent and making up for that with their spoken words though. They can manipulate others into believing whatever they say.

When you go on a date with someone and you get 'that feeling' that they are not all they say they are, it can be quickly passed off as not a valid concern if they say the right thing. Then when you break up down the road you say "I knew that they were lying! They just hid it so well!" and see the signs clearly

Online you can get a feel for who they are through chat and video without being directly in their energy. You can study their body language and their words, and really take your time to decide whether you are buying into what they are saying, or whether you may want to look at another profile.

3. You Can Focus on as Many People You Want at One Time.

When you are out on the search to find someone to love, you have to do it one at a time. I'm not talking about dating more than one person at a time, but what I mean is if you find someone you might be interested in at the bar you have to keep your attention on them. You can't learn about every person in the bar and THEN make your pick.

But on dating websites you can. You can look through the mountain of available profiles that match with your likes and interests, and you can take your time to see who is physically attractive to you, and who you really like talking to. This means you find someone who fits you and your needs without having to 'see if it will work out' through a few more dates, or worse a relationship, before moving on to the next person.
