For those of you that don't already know, i am busy building what i hope will soon be the most unique and hugest online dating site on the planet! Anyway i was talking to a psychologist the other day that specialises in family related issues divorce, kids etc. He asked if i can spend some time taking him through the technical side of the biz as he is very concerned because he is seeing an incredible rise in problems associated with online dating, either from a cause or effect point of view and the fallout that affects peoples lives and their friends and families is huge, it can have a major ripple effect!

This brings me to the point i am trying to make. Excitement is an emotion! A lot of dating sites ask if you think with your heart or your head? Remember if you find something exciting you are first and foremost experiencing an emotion!

You then have to THINK about the reality of following though on the emotion. Sometimes this is not neccesarily a bad thing if you are lucky and manage to get the 2 working together at the same time. Think of Richard Branson and other entrepeneurs. I don't think we are as lucky when it comes to affairs of the heart and online dating.

A lot of hurt, shy people suffering from rejection and low self esteem issues are online. All the sudden attention can be exciting and addictive.

I am moblogging right now and will edit this later and expand on it further. But for now, i appeal to you all - when the excitement wears off and reality sets in, make sure that your finances, health, children and family are not the victims of you satisfying your emotional needs without first making sure you have used the asset between your ears more in the beginning than the one between your legs instead of the other way around, which is what normally happens!
