The dangers of Internet dating

by Jasmine Glanton

Created on: April 17, 2009

I believe Internet dating can be the most dangerous dating you can do, just the simple fact that a person can hide behind a computer and tell you they are anybody. You could be talking to this person for months and still not know what they look like and it wont matter if they send you a picture because the person you are talking to could send you a picture of someone else. I will give you a example: my boyfriends best friend was on the computer talking to a girl he met on-line he ask for a picture of her, and she use my picture, now if my boyfriends best friend did not know me and did not know what I looked liked he would have though that was her. There are some people who set out to break others heats and because they can hide behind a computer, they fear nothing, for example: married men/women, teenagers playing jokes, and last but not lease the Internet dating schemes.

There are also the crazy people who wont leave you alone after you end the Internet dating relationship, also what every you do DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR ADDRESS TO ANY ONE ON THE INTERNET, that is the worse thing you can do when Internet dating, there are so many bad people out there be careful, or this could be your wore nightmare. The main point is you don't know who is on the other side of the computer screen, my best advice is don't do Internet dating. If you really wont to start dating go out with people you already know and are not family members. This is the worst kind of dating you can do, this is just me talking but I would never do anything like this on my computer. You know anything could happen while your on the Internet and I've already said how you don't know who's on the other side of the computer. I don't trust people on the Internet cause you can't see them and you have know idea if what they say is true.

Now in the case of finding love I think if your going to do the Internet on-line dating you should be careful, just because there are crazy people out there and stuff happens. I believe that doing a back round check on a person is a great idea but I would only do this if I was looking for love on the Internet. I am not saying that meeting people on the Internet is a bad thing, but what I am saying is you need to be careful who you give your info to you never know what people will do with you info,picture,etc. The Internet dating thing is not all bad, there are some people who have found true love and are happily married. So yes you can find love by Internet dating just make sure you take the Internet dating slow use the time to really get to know each other and to make sure the person is not crazy.
