Guide to Online Dating and Services


When you think about the ease and convenience of the Internet, it is no surprise that online dating has become the success that it has. After all, the Internet is the first place that many people turn to for shopping, banking, research and a whole host of other activities. Consequently, online matchmaking is really just an extension of those other activities.


Pros and Cons of Online Dating

Online personals are a quick, easy and fun way to meet many people from all over the globe who you would not usually meet up with through traditional dating.

With offline dating, you are more or less limited to dating others from within a certain geographical area.

Dating online is a reasonably safe way to date as well. You do not have to agree to meet someone you have met online until you are ready to. On the other hand, if you are never ready, that is okay too. You can stop communicating with someone any time you are feeling uncomfortable.

When compared to traditional dating, dating online is quite inexpensive. After all, when you date on line, it is not necessary to spend money on a new outfit or an expensive dinner. However, once you find that special someone and you begin dating in the traditional manner, this will definitely change!

Corresponding with potential mates, which in traditional dating is better known as the 'getting to know each other' stage happens in the comfort of your own home and in your pajamas if you so choose. The pressure to make a great first impression is off when you date online and for many people, that is quite a relief.

Perhaps most importantly, people are tired of the traditional dating scene and all the head games and the rejection that go along with it. When people sign up for online dating and services, there is generally no mistaking what they are looking for. Relationships begin online and they end online, but online, putting an end to one, and handling rejection when it happens to you, is much easier!

Cons of Online Dating

Online dating does have its issues and it is important that anyone thinking about dating this way should be aware of the pitfalls. Perhaps most importantly is to accept that not everyone is who he or she claims to be. It is easy to create an identity online which makes it difficult to confirm who is genuine and who is not.

In addition, because it is impossible to really know whom you are dealing with, it is never a good idea to give out personal details, even if you have been communicating for a long time.

Another potential downside is that many online dating services allow their members to post photographs as part of the profile. However, with all the photo enhancing technologies that are available today, there really is no way of knowing whether the photo you are looking at is a true representation of the person you are communicating with or not.

Of course, that can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much value you place on looks. If you remember the old saying of 'never judge a book by its cover', this should not be a problem for you.
