Online dating – replacing the old ways?

In the old days a man had to woo a woman with flowers, sweets and all sorts of little presents before he could ask her out on a first date. It took quite a while before people could share their feelings with one another. Fortunately those days are gone. Of course it's still quite common for a man to bring flowers or some sort of little present when he picks up a woman for a date, but it now takes less time for two people to become intimate. And now it is quite usual for a woman to ask a man out on a date. Ever since the emergence of the Internet, online dating has become more and more common. There are many dating portals for all sorts of people; there are chat rooms and there are forums about dating on the World Wide Web. But can online dating replace real life dating?

The purpose of PARSHIP is not to replace the real life acquaintances with quick online flirts, but to introduce single people to one another who are looking for a serious long-term relationship. PARSHIP doesn’t only introduce random single people to one another but only presents you with specific potential partners. First you take the PARSHIP psychometric test in which you express your values and wishes for a good relationship. PARSHIP will find other singles that correspond to your values and then introduce you to them. You can then contact the person you would like to get in touch with - don't be shy, just try online dating! And maybe after a while you might stand in front of a door, flowers in hand, picking someone up for the first real date.
