Welcome to age of online dating, where the days of people meeting in cafes, restaurants and bars are long gone and almost forgotten. People nowadays would rather log on to their computers when looking for that someone to call “Mine”.

There are a lot of people, of all ages, who aren’t alien to this fact.

But why don’t we break down the Pros and Cons of dating online and you decide if this is for you or not.

Pros:
Economically and practically speaking, online dating is friendlier to your pockets. Why? Well, you don’t have to ask someone for a first date and have awkward dinner at an expensive restaurant or even bother to buy the other person coffee or beer just so you could get a feel of what they are like.

In online dating, information is free about a person and you can even know a person’s zodiac sign without even bother asking.

Information such as age, birthday, astrological signs, preferences and location are laid out for you so you don’t have to ask awkwardly.

Online dating sites have a lot of features in order to help people connect further than just sending each other messages. There are blogs, message boards, forums and chat features for you to take advantage of and most often than not –they are absolutely free and you don’t have to take your butt away from home if you just want to know the other person’s favorite color. You can comfortably do it right in the comforts of your desk.

Cons:
Now here are sometimes the catch, the probability that you are talking to a person who’s not being honest with her profile page is high. There are a lot of people who uploads photos of others and not themselves. A lot of posers will also be at large in several online dating sites.

But as long as you are not giving your credit card information to someone else then things will be fine. The worst thing that can happen is well, you’ll meet someone in person and be disappointed. Some may look good in their profile photos but would look terrible in person, once you get to meet them personally.

With this sort of problem, make use of the video chat feature of the online dating site so you wouldn’t be duped by a prospective lover.

Another thing about online dating is that, somehow it takes away the romantic appeal of serendipity that rarely happens in real life since there are a lot of match making limbos those online dating services provides. But a casual exchange of messages online can sometimes turn into a magical phenomenon between two people – if they’re lucky.
