Here We Go Again...

So I’ve decided to pick myself up and head back into the internet dating world. I’m bruised but still standing yet slightly skeptical of what’s out there. It’s a sad reflection of today’s society that nothing lasts forever any more and I believe the internet is largely responsible for this. It’s too easy now to keep looking for somebody else when you’re in an existing relationship as there’s a world of photos and profiles to view offering possible better catches with the continuous lure of ‘is the grass greener on the other side’? I’m sure if my previous relationship had been 15 or 20 years ago, it may have stood a better chance of surviving; without these outside temptations people wanted to work harder to keep what they had. But today everything is shortlived whether it’s a marriage, a job or a car. Because of the web there’s always something better out there than what you already have.
But even though I’ve been a sad victim of this situation, I’m hopeful enough that there is still an old fashioned man out there with strong morals and a sense of loyalty. I need to believe in this because I can’t bear to think that everybody from my generation has also been sucked into this new shallow and transient world that we now live in. So standing proud and with my chin trust forward, I’m going back out there. Wish me luck.
