Dating has never been this fun. Whether it is for friendship or a long-term romantic relationship (even marriage), online dating sites could help you on these areas in just a few clicks. Isn't that so easy?
In today’s society, the world really is getting smaller. As we leap from one technological breakthrough to the next, we find that within micro-seconds we can transfer information from one side of the earth to the other. We can live on one continent and be employed by a company on another. Air-travel means that many people are part of a global workforce that commutes around the globe attending meetings in every international outpost of the company.
This minimizing the world is filtering slowly down through the professional world, and into our personal lives. No longer are we of the mind set that we will one day grow up and marry the boy next door. It happens, but it’s just as likely to marry the boy in the next State, or next country …….or the one who lives on the other side of the world. The Internet is probably the biggest influencing factor on current day international dating.
Throughout history there have been mail-order brides. From the women who were sent to the colonies, to the women who answered small ads from ranchers out west, and more recently, the Russian (and I’m sure other nationalities) who place ads of their own looking for a partner outside of their homelands. Despite this history, finding a mate through some form of media has maintained a “desperate” image – as if the person seeking is unable to find someone to have them locally. The Internet, even with its reputation for “adult” sites has somehow managed to remove some of the stigma, and there is now a healthy and steadily growing international dating scene.
The big question is always “Can international dating lead to anything permanent”? The answer to this is a resounding YES! Many people are prepared to take a chance on love, and move themselves and their lives to be closer to their overseas loved one. Those who do this find that they are suddenly face-to-face on a daily basis with the name they’ve been typing too for a period of time, learning how to co-habit with someone who is physically a stranger, whilst at the same time learning how to handle living in a new country. By far the worst of this is being removed from family, and taking the place of communicating with your partner online, you now spend your time communicating with your family online instead!
There are still many people who regard international dating as desperate, and deem any relationship that comes of such an enterprise to be a failure waiting to happen. Ok, so it might happen, but there are never any guarantees in the love and romance game. Even if you shared a sandbox with the partner you marry, there’s no guarantee that the flame wont go out and one day you’ll wake up and find you have nothing in common with the person who shares your life, your home, your bed. In the best of situations, things go wrong. If the relationship came from an exercise in internet dating, the fallout is messier because then someone is left in a strange country with little by way of personal support system. They then face the situation of either toughing it out in their new country if the local immigration laws permit, or they can return to their homeland and face unemployment amidst the “I told you so” looks of friends.
For every naysayer on whether international dating can turn into a permanent loving relationship, there are two people who can stand together and say “It can work. We are proof of it!”
Whether you’re looking for a long-term relationship, or just a little cultural difference, internet dating can offer you the opportunity to meet up with potential partners who may just be the person you’ve spent your life seeking!

Getting started as a Penpal is really easy. Just go to one of the hundreds of penpals/mailfriends websites on the Internet and write an message/email to a person that seems interesting to you. (You can find a list of some penpal websites on the bottom of this webpage.) On many websites you also have the possibility to make a profile of yourself and post that on the website. It's up to you if you want that or not. Don't expect to much of that though. It could be that nobody ever reacts to your profile or you just get messages from people that you are absolutely not interested in. But if you're lucky it might also result in a very good friendship. Just be careful with the amount of information you post on your profile, but paranoia probably prevents a interesting conversation. Building a solid Pen pal friendship is quite hard. In the first couple of messages you probably exchange name, age, profession, , hobbies and sports . And then what? If you're lucky you have one or 2 things in common, for example a hobby or you are both fan of the same actor or artist. Then you can discuss the ins and outs on this subject. After that you have to find some new subject to talk about. An suggestion is to tell about those simple things you experience in daily life. It might sound like very normal to you, but can be very strange/exciting/funny to somebody on the other side of the world. Another suggestion is to exchange some words/sentences in your own language with your penpal. You could try to get in touch with your penpal through one of the popular Instant Messengers , such as Yahoo IM, MSN, AOL, or ICQ. This way contact is somewhat more direct and personal, but you could end up in a situation where you absolutely have no idea what to say (depends on how talkatative you are).
