Thesis and Key Quote: "Just because you can now shop, order food, work and talk to your friends online does not mean you should also start using the Internet for dating."


This article says that the internet dating is overrated and is unsafe.It states that most people lie about their height, income, sexuality, and they use misleading pictures of themselves. The article goes on to state that people might not be that concerned about your income, but they will be upset that you were lying to them from the very beginning of the relationship and it will be hard to establish trust in the relationship. The article presents an example of internet dating gone wrong, where a woman is scammed out of money, as another reason people should stick to face-to-face interaction. It also says that dating online can be the cause of mixed signals because you cannot read the other person's body language or facial expressions.


" But in a world that is becoming increasingly reliant on technology and communication happens less and less in real life, the traditional way of meeting people remains to be the best way to form long-lasting, meaningful romantic relationships."


"The whole idea of dating someone is to get to know that person well enough to establish a real connection that could possibly develop into a relationship."
