Dating Services - What's In It For Me?

I frequently wonder if I should be working at a dating service after all the professional, paid escorts who have been knocking at my door. Sure, these gentlemen do their job, and do what they are paid to do, however, if it's not about love, what's in the dating service for me?

After having had relatives hire all sorts of people, I'm left with little or no ability to socialize, and no prospective mate. The dating services did not provide me with the opportunity to meet someone real, or to befriend anyone. Moreover, the tips were expensive, and sometimes, the paid escorts delivered things that were not exactly gentlemanly. However, they were all entitled gentlemen.

Dating services are online, as well as in the real world. Most major cities in the United States have several dating services available. Services such as Matchmaker, It's Just Lunch, Lava Life, Cupid, abound almost everywhere.

Gone are the days when relatives need to purchase the services of an escort to take out a loved one. We are now bombarded with suggestions to sign up with personal services when we use the computer, when we visit the shopping mall, when we take public transportation, when we drive, even when we try calling up last year's toll-free phone numbers.

The question is becoming more and more, how do we avoid escorts for pay, and this is not a problem that is solely confined to men. Some of us women get liberated by our escorts, too.
