Why Do People Date Online?

Once upon a time, people generally met their future spouses when they were in high school. Then came the advent of the practically mandatory four-year college degree and people began putting off marriage until later... and later... and later. Now it isn't uncommon for people to wait until they're in their early thirties to get married, if they marry at all. Unfortunately, it is a lot harder to meet people when you aren't going out to football games and rec-room parties, so... enter the glorious age of online dating.

Because gone are the days when online dating was thought of as strictly for losers (or worse!). The Internet is the ultimate singles' bar-without the noise, the drunks, and the high cost of all those not-so-happy hours. Nor, thanks to online dating membership sites, do you have to depend on your friends and family to hook you up with people they think would be perfect for you-and who wouldn't be perfect for, well, anyone, which is why they are still unattached.

But that's not true of you. You're savvy and know that online dating makes it possible for you to connect with a lot more people a lot quicker than you could any other way. You'll find that person who's perfect for you yourself, thank you very much, Aunt Myrtle. After all, there are plenty of fish in the sea, and online dating is an absolutely wonderful way to weed out the guppies from the sharks.

Because you do need to be cautious when connecting with other singles online. It almost goes without saying that most everyone stretches the truth a little, and it takes some practice to learn what to look out for. Actually, online dating personal ads are a lot like classified employment ads. You know, that ad that says a company's looking for eager, go-getters is really after people who are willing to work 16 to18 hours a day for low pay and even lower appreciation.

The same is true for lots of online dating ads. Women will most likely fudge a bit about their weight, and guys are likely to add a few inches of, um, height. More serious lies happen, but not as often as you might think. These days, most people are trying to find more than just dates online, they're looking for long-lasting relationships and use online dating sites to help with their search.

You may have some ho-hum dates that you've connected with online before you find the man or woman of your dreams. This isn't necessarily because there are more ho-hums who are involved in online dating than with conventional dating, but that the pool of dates is much larger for online dating, so you actually date more or at least have chances to date more-and hey, that's a good thing, right?

Loghat teman, siri 2

Bertemu kita lagi dalam slot Mari belajar loghat teman. Kali ini kita akan mempelajari satu istilah yang agak tidak menyenangkan tetapi perlu diketahui. Perkataan ini ada yang tidak diketahui oleh kawan saya yang lahir dan dibesarkan di Perak. Tidak mengapa...janganlah dituduh Yong ni Perak murtad... tak baik... Perak ni luas. Bahasanya berbeza-beza atau mungkin juga makbapaknya dulu bercakap KL di rumah... jangan marah2... baik, perkataan tersebut ialah Ghenyang Cara disebut: ghen-nyang. Maksudnya: Desakan yang melampau dan menyebabkan orang yang didesak berasa rimas. Dalam situasi yang merimaskan, istilah ghenyang ini boleh juga digunakan. Yang menariknya, perkataan ini adakalanya boleh menggunakan imbuhan me dan di pada pangkal perkataan. Ia juga boleh digandakan. Contoh-contoh ayat: Ayat 1 " Teman ni la, pantang kalo oghang jenih meghenyang. dah teman kaborkan. tak nak bagi gambo penuh tu, paham la... kalo dah ghenyang sangat, gudbai je la, wassalamu..." Ayat mudah difah...

al fatihah

2 Ogos 2009, 8.30 pagi, menerima panggilan dari seorang kawan lama, kawan sekolah, panggilannya tidak sempat dijawab. Ketika itu, saya baru tiba di KL Sentral dalam perjalanan ke Kuala Kangsar. Saudara Rozal bertanya sama ada mendapat perkhabaran dari sahabat kami, Asma. Saya maklumkan, tidak menerima sebarang mesej daripada Asma. Rozal memaklumkan yang salah seorang sahabat kami, Masnita Rashid telah kembali ke rahmatullah. Terkejut saya dan terus teringat yang Mas akan melahirkan anak tidak lama lagi. Saya bertanya, “Apa ceritanya?” Rozal menjawab, “Tak tau, cuma terima sms dari Ma” Sebaik sahaja meletakkan gagang, sms dari Ma diterima. Saya meneruskan perjalanan pulang dengan keretapi. Setibanya di stesen Kuala Kangsar, saya menghubungi Rozal semula dan beliau dalam perjalanan ke sana. Disebabkan pakaian saya yang ‘improper’, saya pulang ke Padang Rengas bertukar pakaian terlebih dahulu dan mencapai kunci satria, kembali ke Kuala Kangsar. Sahabat-sahabat lain; Rozal sekeluarga, Kat...
