10 Reasons to not date online

1st Reason: You are paranoid

It can sound offensive, but it is true, if you are always thinking that your online mate is cheating on you, and which he/she says "i love you" to everybody, then you should jump out the boat, online dating is NOT for over-suspicious people.

2nd Reason: You don't like "rushed" intimacy

Ok, if you are on the game, you shall be prepared and aware of what can happens, usually people go straight to the point with you, and if you want to meet the person bit by bit first before having a special feeling towards the person, then you should let it very clear on your "about me". I'm writing it specially to women, yes, there are creepers on online dating, but that's not reason to not give it a try, you can totally block their messages.

3rd Reason: You have no patience

You've waited nine months to be born, you will not find the Mr. Right/Mrs. Right in a question of hours, or days... Yes, a bunch of people will flirt with you, but a big part of them will not catch your eye, so you also need to 'hunt the prey'.

4th Reason: You're ashamed of exposing your picture

That's funny, I bet that if someone flirt with you have NO picture you will not flirt with it AT ALL! So if you want to swim, you need to get into the water.

5th Reason: "The Ugly Duckling" complex

Hahaha, guess what? You are!

If you think you are ugly, then no matter who say you aren't, you'll think "Isn't he/she a liar? I know I can cause a train wreck!".

So first, change your mind, if it wasn't for the models and midia, there wouldn't be ugly/pretty people, it's all on our minds. And if you don't believe me, believe it, the beauty lies in the beholder's eyes.

6th Reason: Online Dating is Dangerous

Yes, and so is a pencil in wrong hands... You shall use online dating as a tool to find your soulmate, but carefully, of course you will not give your Address/Phone/SSN or have the first date in a camp surrounded by trees and starving savage animals.

7th Reason: People at Online Dating Websites Have Metal Problems

Who doesn't? Don't tell me that you have never did something crazy in your life or had a crazy thought that you only wanted to keep to yourself?

Once again, there is no such thing as PERFECT PERSON! You're watching too many movies, if you really want to date a perfect person, you should ask for a engineer to make a robot, and even thus things could get a little bit 'electric', if you know what I mean.

8th Reason: I don't have money to pay online dating

Are you serious? Generally, dating websites charge around $20 per month, it is a candy bar at day, and by the way, don't spoil your teeth. So take your hands off the pocket and try it! Some websites offers 3 days for free, so you should take advantage of it and just sign up! You have nothing to lose but love to gain.

9th Reason: I'm lazy

Hmmm... I'm lazy as well, but it doesn't hurt to write a few words about you and about what you are looking for in a person. If you write it, then your chances to find the perfect match are higher than if you write.

"Hi my name is "Your Name Here", I like long walks on the beach, dogs and music. I want to meet a person that loves me, understands me, and like dogs."

90% of the people there like dogs and walks on the beach, seriously, be more specific.

10th Reason: I'm better of on my own

Great!!! But what about you boost your self-steem by talking to hotties online? Looks good aye? So go for it, you can always opt in to hide your profile when you don't want to play anymore...

I did date online and offline, I met my lover of the past 8 years and we are very happy from online. Things about people are not so black and white or orange and blue or purple and yellow or red and green.

All kinds of people, all kinds of likes and dislikes. Thats why we are all special and all different.
