.. yes you have to have confidence within yourself..
.. the Internet is a nice.. medium.. in which to gain that extra bit. of boosting up. so to speak.. complete strangers.. support your position your point of view.. on topics... they compliment you on ... your attributes... it helps your self esteem... you start feeling better about your own self... and then with this new found... confidence within yourself... you walk out your front door.. feeling great.. and it is reflected.. to those around you.. making you appear more attractive.. the type of person they would like to approach get to know better... and before you know it.. presto... you are dating somebody in your own city or town... someone real.. tangible.. and then you use your common sense... get to know all about them... slowly steadily.. building a real relationship... on trust. visual facts........... dating sites... are more to the point.. social sites.. really should just be used.. to help bolster your confidence... and your communication skills.... It is my opinion... you should always be able to find.. someone within your own region... the universe does not put things out of your reach.... so to speak....phD..
