Internet dating

I'm not really into internet dating, making friends over the internet - I don't mind - but when it comes to dating, I don't like it. I like something real, and obviously internet dating isn't real unless you meet the man himself.

However, I did have my fair share of internet dating (not that i'm over 30 plus now, cause that's how i make it sound like) and well, it was really nerve-wrecking. To make sure you look great on your "sort of" first date, and to suddenly confess all the things you've been hiding so that he won't have that look of disappointment on his face (well, sort of won't have).

I don't know but I worry for those who do internet dating. They think they know the person but actually they don't. Well, some people that is, because apparently some people - like me - do tell the actual facts of themselves (some that weren't asked can stay hidden of course) and those "honest" people over the internet are a minority.

I actually bothered to look for cartoons to illustrate my point. That internet dating, isn't all that good.

Here's some:



See, you never really know how old is the person you're dating. Either he's too young or too old.

And if you actually turned to internet dating because you don't want to meet anyone superficial, but i'm telling you right now, you're wrong. There's still that numerous amount of people who are STILL superficial even in the internet dating 'world'. Why do you think they ask for pictures? To see how "pretty"/"handsome" you are. Obvious isn't it? If there are other reasons, please enhance this narrow thought of mind then. (:

Here's a picture to show you what i really mean:



Get it now? Good

Hence, internet dating isn't really that good because you won't know exactly whether you're talking to a "real" person or not.

I know offline dating could be hard for some, but i never said you can't make friends over the internet (just as friends) and meet them in real life, then you control it from there. If you want it to go further or not. Don't give out any very crucial details of yours till your gut trusts the people as well. And everyone, try not to be very superficial, first impressions are important but after that, it's the personality and characteristics that is most important.

This is not a sexist post, even though this post is mostly talking to the ladies, guys do take note of this too.
