Millions of people use online dating services in the hope of finding a partner or spouse. Men and women post photos, personal information, and ads in search of a partner. Relationship counselors Ellen Fein, Sherrie Schneider, and The Rules Girls share the opinion that e-dating helps people find a partner. Online dating is an alternative for those who raise children, have many responsibilities, travel frequently, or are new to an area. They find it more difficult to meet people and potential partners in particular. Moreover, they are not confined to the town, city, or even country where they live.
While there are obvious advantages, experts warn about some possible risks associated with e-dating. Some people maintain online relationships just to have someone to talk to, and others get involved with the wrong person. Fantasy women and men never ask the other out. Some people believe everyone is honest and tells the truth. In most cases, online dating services ask participants to tell more about themselves by filling out a questionnaire. Women give more thought to this and are usually honest. Men, on the other hand, may indicate that they love romantic walks or movies to attract women. Many men would choose to watch football and drink beer instead.
How do you tell he is Mr. Wrong? Ignore men who send only a 'rose' or a 'wink', write form letters, or tell you how sexy you are. Ask them to send you a photo. If they make up excuses and don't send you one or have too many photos on their profile, make sure to delete them. The same goes for 'Tarzan' and other 'player' names. Such men are not worth your time.
It is important to pay attention to how consistent correspondents are. If they tell you lies, it will be difficult for them to be consistent. There are red flags indicating that a person cannot be trusted. These include: elusiveness, anger for no apparent reason, disrespectful comments and remarks, etc. It is better to discontinue potentially dangerous relationships because such behaviors spell trouble. The same goes for persons who insist on getting personal photos and information, and it is best to stop communication with them. If you are going on a date, choose a public place such as a well-lit restaurant in a central location.
Besides the risks involved, some people find it easier to communicate in person than in writing. Some people have poor writing skills and are afraid of making bad impression when writing. Written communication takes more effort. The effort is real, and writing skills are not universal meaning that making good impression takes time and thought. Finally, there are some minor risks, one being that you may not get your money's worth. There is always a risk that you will not find people you are interested in, and it takes a lot of time to look at profiles.
