Advice, Advantages & Disadvantages Of Online Dating
by Gabriel Adams
In this ‘everything internet’ age, it’s not at all surprising that online dating has become such a runaway success. It comes as a boon especially to those individuals who are on the fast-track to career success and have no time for old-fashioned romance, where you went the whole nine yards of making a date and booking a restaurant with the person you hoped to spend your life with. The one drawback to this was of course, if the two of you had just about nothing in common and the date did not work out, you went through the whole circus again.
The biggest advantage of online dating is that it facilitates the meeting of like-minded individuals. All online dating services encourage their members to describe themselves as best they can and also mention their hobbies and interests. This way you can check out member’s profiles and shortlist the ones who you would be most interested in getting to know better. Beginning an online conversation with the other member allows both parties to get to know each other better and after a while you know whether or not you want to meet up and take the relationship to the next level.
While there is a certain thrill and excitement at the thought of meeting up with someone you get along with so well, the first few meetings can be critical in more ways than one. Meeting up with someone you’ve only met on the internet is fraught with potential danger. After all you only think you know the other person well but there’s no way of knowing for sure and when you do, it could be too late.
Before you set off on your date it is imperative that you set up a safety net just in case something does go wrong. Here are a few rules that will help you stay safe on this first face-to-face date.
Never, ever give out your residential address and never agree to get picked up from home.
Arrange to meet your date at a very public place, preferably one that you are familiar with.
Always inform a friend of your plans and have them call you at a certain time to make sure that all is okay.
Using a public mode of transport is safer than driving your own car to the venue; but if you must drive, make sure you’ve got a full tank of gas.
Don’t ever drink alcohol on your first few dates. It affects your judgment and lowers your inhibitions, both of which could lead to things getting out of hand. It’s important to be sober and aware of everything that’s happening around you.
Over and above everything else, listen to your gut feeling.
