Taking a Break from Online Dating

If you think that online dating seriously differs from dating and meeting people face to face then you are mistaken, at least when it comes to “playing hard to get” the newest trend that is reported by those that date online is that people that they are talking to claim to be taking a break from online dating.

What does taking a break from online dating mean exactly? Reportedly it means suspending your profile for a while so that you appear as though you are doing other things or are currently off the market. The only funny part is that you appear with the identical profile only weeks later to scope out the new scene.

What these “breakers” are doing is really letting themselves have a chance to appear busy and wait a while to see if new and different people join the site.

Online dating on one site is similar to going to the same bar night after night. After a while you become a regular and everyone there knows who you are and why you are there.

Of course there is those that have exceptions such as people that are going on vacation or have legitimately found someone, either through the site or otherwise.
But for those that continue to play the game, chances are that the other regulars know the game and are likely guilty of either doing the same thing at some point or planning on it.
