The Advantages of Cyber Dating

Here are just a few good reasons:

(1) Countless testimonials have related stories of genuine online "chemistry" developing long before actual and fulfilling "first dates"

(2) Many services have "flirting functionality" that allows users to make advances with minimum conversation thus avoiding unnecessary awkwardness

(3) Makes geographical barriers fade away and can open a surprising world of travel, adventure, and learning to those interested in long distance friendships

(4) With only a few necessary resources, a computer, accessories, membership fees, you are ready, day or night, to enter the discreet and relaxed universe of cyber-dating.

(5) Sorting functions, profiles, search engines, pre-screening, and even personality tests deliver quantity, quality, and especially organization to your quest for the potentially perfect date or mate

(6) On the cyberspace playing field, social class and gender barriers are often overcome by the fact that every player is in the same place, to play the same game. It's a crowded field but the possibilities are limitless!

(7) "Bad-hair days", "nothing-to-wear", "the pain of psoriasis", or other embarrassing zit-like calamities that might befall you, will never again put you in "time-out"

(8) You can avoid the fruitless, time-consuming, effort of having to find appropriate venues to meet others: smoky bars, single's clubs, church socials, boring parties, etc.

(9) In the introductory stages, Instant Messaging (IM) and emails produce far fewer misread signals or anxiety than, for example, that first dinner date.

(10) "Parallel" dating, by email, instant messaging, or real-time audio or visual, with as few or as many people as you like, is par for the course

(11) Embarrassing chance meetings with past lovers, inquisitive co-workers, other dates, etc. become a non-issue

(12) There is no shortage of variety! The spice of Cyber Encounter , for example, includes three distinct dating communities: adult dating, serious relationships, or the more erotic "alternative encounters"!

(13) Eliminate the many expenses of offline dating, such as dinner, movies, drinks, etc, by discovering the fatal flaws of your acquaintances online, before meeting in-person

(14) E-conversations and online chatting tend to be more honest, frank, to the point, and involve less emotional risk, particularly when dealing with larger questions of compatibility

(15) Whether you are on the giving or receiving end, rejection is much less messy, hurtful, or embarrassing when transacted online

(16) Most dating services offer tools that allow for the safety of anonymity, the avoidance of unwanted contact, and do-it-yourself screening. Cyber Encounter , for example, tracks complaints, monitors member's behavior, and deals swiftly with offenders.
