Online Dating

Online Dating, some may think that this is the newest way to start dating, some may think that this is a dangerous way to meet a date, and others just do not have an opinion or have not experienced online dating yet. For me, I have experiences online dating for the past five maybe six years off and on and most the time it has been bad experiences.

 I have met guys who do not look like their pictures, I have met guys who are older then they really say they are, I have met guys who were; in reality married,I have met guys who told me they didn't want kids; when they knew I had one upfront, and last but not least; the most common kind of guy I have met is a guy looking for a booty call.

One thing I really do not understand is why would someone lie, because in the end the truth is going to come out, you might as well tell the truth upfront, because if you set expectations for someone before you meet and you lie in anyway, you are just letting that person down when you meet them and giving them false hope and false expectations. 

So if you are going to do online dating I suggest being careful, meet in a public place, get a yahoo telephone number, tell someone where you are going to be, maybe even bring a friend along and have them sit in a few booths away. However, you decide to date whether online, or meeting someone in a grocery store, or being set up on a blind date, there is no right or wrong way to meet someone.
