“World has gone flat, so people can plug in and play from
anywhere in the world.”
This is a quote, often used to signify the significance
of online gaming in the present scenario. But seldom was the philosopher aware
of a new trend that emerged some time back, “online dating”, again proving that
world is flat, so people can plug in and date from anywhere in the world.
Gone are the days when true love was crucial for dating
somebody or when dating meant that he/she is your soul mate. In today’s
diligent, taxing and monotonous life, suddenly everybody’s audacious and fun
streak has emerged a bit too powerful. There is always a necessity of some
“spice” in life and some “gossip” about your life that can be shown off. INTERNET,
what else you need when all you have been looking for is in your pockets. Just
plug in and enter into the whole new realm to put behind all your anxieties and
apprehensions. And what better than interacting with somebody who feels the
same and is also looking for some leisure time after a day jam packed with
worries and exhaustion.
You start chatting and gradually commence spending most
of the free time talking to your new “online friend”. This new friend is
suddenly your refuge from the whole enchilada going around, he becomes the
source of laughter for you, you can speak your heart out to him and in return
you get precisely the same from other side. In no time, this “online friend”
moves a level up in your life and whoa! You are in “love”.
This new relationship fills the void you had in your life
and suddenly you start feeling complete. The love of your life or at least the
“current love” is just a click away. You start getting addicted and life is
swiftly beautiful now.
Some benefits of an online relationship are that it comes
with no restrictions. Your partner is miles away from you and cannot witness
what you wish to withhold. He will never come to know the truth until the
relationship is wired. You can portray yourself completely distinct and
obviously in a more fascinating way and gift yourself your dream relationship.
The problem arises when the relationship becomes serious.
And you forget the person on the other side can also be deceitful. You start
expecting while the other person is still having fun. Then your heart breaks
and lands you up again in the same traumatic situation which forced you to
engage in an online dating process. And the vicious cycle goes on.
Online dating is not harmful, if performed under certain
margins. Let it be just a time pass which helps you unwind from daily tensions.
And when it comes to a serious relationship, love of your
life will see you in the real world.
Till then, have some fun with your virtual dating
partner.
