This could be because the society has been exposed to many ways of dating compared to the times back then when the society were more protective, tied to cultural reasons and so on.

How to write an Online Dating profile?

Well, if you are thinking about dating online, you should have a good Online Dating profile. You should remember that it is what you write on your profile that will make you shine. Make sure you stand out from the crowd!

• Take your time: Take your time writing your profile. Make notes about your personality, and jot down your positive attributes, interests, likes, dislikes, before you start to write something out properly.
  

• Choosing a username: Your username is the first thing people see about you, so if you're stuck for choosing a username, think about your interests, where you live or who you are. If you like cycling, try keencyclist. If that's taken then you could add your location, NYCkeencyclist, or maybe keen-cyclist, keencyclist2005, etc.
  

• Photo Personals: Include a recent photo of yourself. Personal ads accompanied by a photo, will attract more than five times the number of replies.

• Avoid acronyms and abbreviations: Acronyms and abbreviations are OK in newspaper ads where line space is at a premium. Online, however, you're not restricted. So avoid things like GSOH, SWF, DWM, etc. Why confuse people? If you do have a GSOH (good sense of humour) it would be better to show that in your profile.
  
  Catch line: Catch line can be tricky to write. If you are having a problem coming up with something why not take a clue from music, poetry or literature? A lyric snippet may express just what you want. But do also check out other member's profiles as well, and see what they use for catch lines.
  

• Update Profile Regularly:Keep your profile up to date. Keep changing it a little. Many sites will state when your profile was last updated and allow members to search those by most recently updated. Other members will be more likely to look at your profile.

• Avoid negativity: Cannot be said enough! Emphasize the positive things about yourself in your profile.

In their mind, they think that online dating is a very dangerous website and they will not accepted online dating because they think online dating is full nof lies and fake identity. In addition, online dating is not like a reality, we cannot know which kind of person who are chatting in online dating website, so if there are people who believe in online dating, I will advise them try to take caution for their safety.

Moreover, some of them will accepted online dating because they think that online dating can bring them more exeprience and they can enjoy more. Beside that, they also think that online dating can let them know a lot of friend or even a partner. They will not feel fear using online dating because they know that online dating is just a game and they will not put sentiment in online dating since they doesn’t what kind of people there are chatting.

In my opinion, I will advise my dear friend try to advoid online dating because it may cause you harmful. So if your opinion are same with me you will know how dangerous online dating, but if your opinion is not same with me, never mind because you know how to control it.

10 Guidelines to Meet Your Online Date in Safety

Here are some common sense safety tips for meeting your online date in person. Your instincts will play a strong role in keeping you safe too, so listen to them and take action if you feel uncomfortable or alarmed at any time. Remember, there’s also a good chance that your date is perfectly genuine. Tread a sensible line between optimism and caution and your date will safe and enjoyable.

• Meet when you’re ready: Don’t be pressured into meeting your online date. One of the big attractions of Online Dating is that you can find out the important stuff - be sure there’s a real possibility for a relationship – up front, so take your time and make the most of it. Your offline date should confirm and enhance your feelings, not lead to disappointment, or nasty surprises!

• Meet in a public place: Hopefully most of you are yawning at this. However, when you’ve built up some trust online, and share an interest in lonely country walks, say, a lonely country walk might seem like a great idea for a first date. Give yourself a severe reality check when arranging a first date. First dates should always be in well-populated, public places.

• Meet in a familiar or well-known area: You need to be able to find your way home, or back to your hotel room, quickly and easily. Don’t travel into unfamiliar neighbourhoods and if you’ve traveled to an unfamiliar city to meet your date, choose a hotel in a central area that’s well known to taxi drivers and locals.

• Meet in a place where you’re not well known: For first dates, avoid favorite hangouts where everyone knows you and your business. Your date can return to pry information out of your favorite bartender or friends, or turn up uninvited – bad news if you decide not to pursue the relationship.

• Travel independently: Revealing where you live, where you’re staying or getting into a strange vehicle puts you at risk. Be sure to make your own way to and from your date, and don’t be persuaded otherwise. If you make your travel arrangements ahead of time, you’ll have a good excuse for refusing any offers to pick you up or drop you home, and if your date’s half the person you think they are, they’ll respect your independence and caution.

• Make your own arrangements: Don’t let your date take over and make all the decisions about where you go, what you do, and, if you’re traveling from another city, where you stay. Make your own travel arrangements (I’ve said this already, but it’s important), book your own hotel, and make sure you and your common sense get to play a big role in deciding when and where your date takes place.

• Tell a friend or relative about your date: Make sure someone knows who you’re meeting (their full name and phone number), when, where and at what time you expect to be back.

• Don’t drink too much: Sure, a drink can calm your nerves but be careful not to overdo it and lose your ability to make safe and sensible decisions.

• Leave if you feel uncomfortable: You’re excited about your date, you want it to go well, to give it every chance of success but (and it’s a big but) don’t let this tempt you into ignoring or excusing the fact that something doesn’t feel right. It probably isn’t, so admit it and get out of there.

• Watch out for strange behavior: When you meet offline, dating should fall into a natural, comfortable pattern. Stop dating if it doesn’t. For instance, your date always wants to meet some distance from where they live or work, is reluctant to introduce you to their friends or family, or has strange rules about how and when you call each other.

Well, i hope these guidelines has been helpful to you and that it will help you throughout your Online Dating experience. Please feel free to send in your thoughts. Thank you. Cheers. =)

Know the person you are talking to

Online dating or Internet dating is everywhere. Like most people, you probably can't go a couple of days without hearing or seeing an advert for one of the large online dating companies. Below, are two ways to know about the person you are dating online.

• Less then Honest Profiles - We all know that people are people no matter where you meet and you can't always spot the dishonest ones. There is no way to know or check if the history, marital status, photos or intent posted online are true and honorable because there is a chance of meeting an unscrupulous person who misinterprets themselves.

• Body Language and Facial Expressions - One of the ways we connect and feel the chemistry with people is by observing body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. With online dating, the signals are lost and cannot be experienced without meeting in person.

Online dating, just like real world dating, is a challenge and sometimes a scary proposition. Use your head and always remember to play it safe.

There are many disadvantage and advantage by using online dating so in this article I am going to talk about the bad thing when using online dating. It is very important to give you caution when using the online dating sites.

Disadvantages of Online Dating

Though online dating is very popular especially among the youngsters, it has several disadvantages that should not be ignored. Here are just some of the few disadvantages you should know about.

Firstly, it can be very addictive. Most people who date online usually become very addicted to the online dating site. Well, let’s say you found someone online and you think that he or she is great; you may still be online looking for someone else because it is so interesting and that is why it’s addictive. You may be flattered and began to think “Wow, I'm so hot. Some people are really attracted to me that never would have been attracted to me before." So, basically, it does something that makes you feel egoistic which is very false.

Another disadvantage is that people don’t always tell you the truth or things like it is. Well, someone may give you a photograph of them or put it up on their profile and they may be ten years old or so in that photo but how will you know if it is actually true? They may just tell you that they are a certain weight or height when actually they are not. They may tell you that they work as a doctor when the truth is that they are not. They may say that they are 25 but the truth is that they are 45. So, you have to be really cautious about what people are telling you because it may possibly be all lies.

Another disadvantage of Online Dating is that people are oftentimes objectifying others. Well, most people look at this as it’s a numbers game. They don’t really look at it as a real person whom they can really relate to and so. On the other hand, they are looking at “Well, this is gorgeousgirl123 or hotshot456”. They are not really looking at people as people but instead looking at the names they carry, and because of that there may be some difficulty throughout the dating process.

Below is a video about Safe Online Dating. It tells you about how you can date safely through Online Dating.
