Online Dating

In the article we read for class it basically talked about online dating. It talked about the ups and downs about it. I'm not really a big fan of online dating so it was something I never looked into but after reading the article I find online dating interesting. I think that online dating is dangerous because you never really know if the person on the other end is really telling you the truth or even being honest about everthing or Vice Versa. Online dating has many different aspects and can be looked at in many different ways. I personally feel that it depends on the type of person you are and what you like if you can handle a online relationship. Although I love facebook and Myspace, Online dating is not really an option for me. I'm the type of girl that loves to meet new people but I don't think I can ever develop a relationship through the internet. I know some people that have met online and it has been a success. This article has made me look at online dating completely different but it still hasn't persuaded me to believe that online dating is safe.

In the article I was more interested in online relationships when she started to express her feelings and when the guy stated that he didn't know what he wanted. Although this is taking place online it reminded me of a real relationship. When we have face to face relationships we sometimes don't understand things or know exactly what we want. I find it amazing to see how online dating has changed and become more popular over the years and more and more people are trying it out.

I think it is interesting how online relationships are more like FtF relationships than we think. Like in an online relationship they don't know what they want, or are confused as to what is going on. Same thing goes with a FtF relationship. Still I think what one wants or is confused about in an online relationship, although when stated might seem to be the same as in a FtF relationship, is actually very different.
