Love... Everyone seems to be searching for that "one" person who will offer them the sanctuary of true love. There are hundreds of mobile apps and websites that promise to help you find that special someone. So is it wrong to look for love through social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook? In my opinion...NO and let me tell you why.
I met my husband at an jewelry line launch party in Detroit through a friend. We didn't really talk to each other, it was literally just a Hi and Bye situation. He complimented me on my decor and jewelry designs and literally that was the end of our conversation. About a month later, I was on Instagram and I saw this cute guy comment on my friend's Instagram picture... I looked through his pictures on Instagram and really liked what I saw (pictures of him working out and a few pictures of him with his little brothers) so I followed him. I started liking and commenting on his pictures ( and vice versa) and after a while I sent him a DM (direct message) asking him where was he from, since he seemed to travel frequently. He responded back to me in a few days and then the conversation kept growing. Ultimately, he asked for my number and then we would talk, text and Skype. It wasn't until we started talking via Skype when I realized we had met. That helped me put my guard down a lot and intrigued me more. Our conversations went on for hours about life, people and just everything. He was amazingly sweet even from a distance. Eventually he flew up to Detriot to come visit me and take me out on a date and from there history was made. To this day, I am still grateful I went outside my norm and decided to contact him on Instagram. Who knows if we would be married today if I didn't.
While I don't believe social media is the only source to find love, I do believe it can tell you a lot about a person. Social media can also bring people together who otherwise might not have met. And it definitely can reintroduce you to someone you may have not had the opportunity to meet again. So with that being said, it is ok to find love via Instagram, Facebook and etc. Who knows? You may just find your soulmate like I did.
