DATING MYTHS GOT YOU SCARED OF THUNDERBOLTS?
World's largest personal introduction service,
The Right One and Together, offers a reality check
on common dating myths

Maybe you got married right out of school to someone you've now graduated from. Or maybe dating just seemed like a distraction, a mystery, or a hassle to contend with. If for whatever reason myths about dating are starting to sound true, The Right One and Together, the world's largest personal introduction service with more than 78 offices and affiliates, wants to demystify the modern dating scene.

MYTH #1: Once we're alone, I'll feel like a victim of Medusa—quiet as a stone.
FACT: Silence is ok; it passes. Take a breath and reflect, instead of hyperventilating and retracting.

MYTH #2: The date will involve bowling or ballroom or Mexican food or some other aspect I consider Hades.
FACT: When you agree to go out, you can arrange the date together so your time together can be shared ambrosia.

MYTH #3: As goddesses on earth, women never pick up the tab.
FACT: A modern woman offers to split the bill with her date and, as often as a man, may write off the whole thing on her expense account.

MYTH #4: I'll have to dress in ethereal robes—I don't have anything to wear!
FACT: Your wardrobe needs at least one flattering relaxed outfit—treat yourself to some professional advice at one of the better clothing stores.

MYTH #5: That gentle swan exterior might be hiding a venomous spirit. Am I safe to walk alone with this stranger?
FACT: The best dating services conduct extensive background checks of their members, so using a service provides some reassurance that your date is no Ted Bundy. But be alert; meet the first time in daylight, in a public place, by your own transportation.

MYTH #6: Appear at the temple altar on Tuesday. Inspire the oracle on Wednesday. Adjust the jet stream for Jason on Thursday. Friday, peruse volume of forgotten lore. Saturday is lunch up Mount Olympus…My career is like Athena's, forever on the go, no time to socialize.
FACT: Cancel lunch with mom and pop or leave the oracle guessing, but create time to make yourself happy. A kindling romance might be just the recess you crave. A dating service can maximize your dating time by selecting singles who fit your criteria.

MYTH #7: She or he is only after one thing…
FACT: Laughter? Fun? Camaraderie? Compassion? Intimacy? Most singles are seeking many things—qualities they are willing to share too.

MYTH #8: There's no Hera for this Zeus—I'll never find someone who appreciates my thunderbolts and other idiosyncrasies.
FACT: If you're looking for her, she's likely seeking you. You're probably not as peculiar as you think! Don't settle for an inadequate match, spread your wings.

MYTH #9: The only way to find a date is in a bar, at church, or at an AA meeting and I don't want to worship in any of those temples.
FACT: Modern singles are meeting in many likely and unlikely places, find something you like to do and you may find someone else you like to do it with.

MYTH #10: “Some day my prince will come…Some day I'll find my love…”
FACT: Serendipity is a fine sentimental dream—but WAKE UP! The snooze is blaring on your romantic alarm clock. Time passes like your prince. Climb down from the tower and take action.

MYTH #11: My friends have charming friends and acquaintances that want to date me…
FACT: Have you heard of the Trojan War? A lot of people died from a set-up date gone wrong. Don't let it happen to you. Involving your friends in your romantic life is like mixing smoked salmon with chocolate mousse—both are fabulous on their own but a sickening mess when pureed.

MYTH #12: Looking good and going out cost a fortune and still I might be left without a sweetie to ride shotgun in my chariot!
FACT: Not only have you invested money in dating, you've invested time and emotion; with all that on the line, why not roll loaded dice? When you chance a date arranged by a reputable service, the odds are in your favor—your most wanted character traits are already present—only the chemistry is left to chance.

MYTH #13: Dating and singles' services are all a sham—how can they be trusted? How do I know I'll get good matches?
FACT: You can ask questions to gauge how well a dating service will protect and serve you. Do they conduct background checks? Are there safeguards to ensure that members aren't married or don't have criminal records? Will they offer a guarantee? Are they in good standing with local business associations and the Attorney General's office?
