6 Big Things You'll Learn When Online Dating

The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

€˜Tis the season and the world seems to be filled to the brim with happy couples wearing matching Christmas jumpers, basting turkeys hand in hand and playfully hanging baubles on a tree together whilst giggling inanely at the wonders of love, Christmas and the heady combination of the two (this is what people in relationships do around the holidays, right?) But what of the singletons? With no one to impishly smear the cream from your hot chocolate across your nose, chase you around a Christmas market or, most importantly, stand around in the cold outside your door, professing love via flashcard, you might just find yourself wondering if it€™s time to hop online and get to seeking out your seasonal soulmate. Online dating no longer carries the social stigma it once did €“ that of antisocial weirdos with an inability to find relationships €˜organically€™ awkwardly and desperately seeking one another out through the Internet €“ and now millions of people regularly use myriad sites and apps to aid in their quest to find Mr/Ms Right (or Mr/Ms This Weekend). However, clichés still apply and anyone who ventures into the wild world of online dating shouldn€™t be surprised to learn these lessons along the way.
