(Gay) online dating.

This article explains why (Gay) people use online dating services. There are a number of reasons. One of them is the fact that you can stay anonymous. Many people like to take part in online dating communities as an anonymous member and there are no rules against this. This is a great way to join these services without sharing personal details with others. Safety is also one of the reasons. There definitely are a number of safety issues when dealing and talking with people online. But, when you meet new people offline, you can't be absolutely sure whom you are dealing with, what they are interested in, what they do in their spare time, if they are dangerous and so on. Online can be safer: you can communicate with someone for months, even years before you ever meet the member in person. This gives you a chance to really get to know someone before jumping into a relationship or friendship. And you can do it from the safety and comfort of your own home. Some people dislike going out to bars, clubs or other social places as they might feel shy or otherwise uncomfortable. Online dating gives you the opportunity to meet new people, make friends all over the world and build a relationship without going to unknown places. This can be very helpful for people who prefer not to go out. Another benefit is that you you meet like minded people. When you go to a bar or club, you meet people who are there for many different reasons and with different intentions. You can't be sure if they are there because they have a drinking problem, because they want to leave their partner, because they just wanne have a good time or whatever reason they may have. When you use an online dating service, you can be almost sure of one thing: the people you meet are online to meet a partner or at least make new friends. These are just a few of the many benefits of online dating services. The best way to find out what it is and what the advantages are is to simply start using one.

online dating...

Sure, online dating is great if you're not a bar person, but how will you know you have chemistry if you don't take the step to meet? Unless you are just looking for pen pals, then it's good to meet (after a few email exchanges) sooner than later...just my opinion. I'm actually losing my faith in online dating due to some people not being truthful...another safe activity is to join activity groups and get to know people casually first...I'm a big believer in face-to-face networking...it seems to be the best thing.
