Is Online Dating Suitable for You?

By Vanessa Cruz

Since the start of Internet, online dating has become a great choice to prospective life partners. There are romantic stories about couples who knew each other from online dating service and eventually get married and live happily. If you are considering whether the idea is a good or bad one, ask yourself first whether you are type of person who can fall in love without meeting one in person or not. It should not be an easy process for most.

Despite the fair statements that we also fall in love with inner beauty or aspects of one and that we can not rely solely on physical attraction, there are also scientific findings on how fall in love process goes. It also includes your first impression when meeting new people and the 'chemical' senses that are automatically felt, which eventually make clear that physical attraction matters. So how should we deal with online dating? This depends on which side you are into: the pros or cons.

1. Online dating can either be a weird thing or a reasonable utilization. It is weird because you may not really know the other significant one, or it is a worthy utilization because you do not want to lose the chances of knowing someone nice and compatible. It is true that online dating has opened a much wider channel for every love seekers around the world. And it is great because you can meet merely anyone beyond the constraints of time and distant. What are the costs of letting go these chances? And what are the costs of taking the risks, yet you have heard a lot about the dating scams out there? So based on how you regard the opportunity cost, it may be a good or bad idea.

2. You do not fall in love with the profiles on the online dating sites. In fact, most people do not read the profile of a prospective partner before he/she puts her/him in the favorite lists. This is true and hard to beat statement. Ask yourself. Do you read the profiles first before looking at the picture and deciding to bookmark into favorites, or do you see the picture first and find it interesting before reading the profile further? So physical attraction is still the first key to love. Even though what is written in your profile can change the attractive perception, people still judge from photos first despite the well-written adjectives. If it is important to find partners that meet your physical standards, can you get along with online long distant relationship? It means with someone you have never meet in person, someone whose profile photos are not even guaranteed to be real or at least natural.

3. Is there a guarantee? Most should say no. But the answer is likely to be same whenever you are asked "is there a guarantee for the offline and traditional dating". Even the real feeling of flowery days and heart beats when you go out for a date with a super charming man are not a guarantee that you are both truly in love, that you will be able to go on until marriage and the old years together! Isn't it nave to ask for one favorable answer when it comes to online dating? After all, it should be your personal choice whether you can handle it or not. - 32510
