Do You Think On Line Dating Is Safe? by jovialmum(f): 12:03am On Dec 03, 2014
from my own view
Finding a man or woman on the Internet/
Facebook/whatsapp,
Badoo, Twitter, WeChat?There comes a
time in life where one wants to be a little bit
daring,maybe even take a risk or twoOnline/
Facebook dating seems like a good idea, but
unfortunately you have to be on your guard
for the dangers it poses - and there aremore
than you think.Usually people inbox me
heart broken after a first date, when theother
part suddenly pulls out. Pictures lie, I have
seen some peopl e who look extremely
beautiful on Facebook pictures but in the
realworld, they aint look that woow as
compared to the pictures. So
usually when one goes on a first date and
they realize that they had been deceived by
pictures and probably a sweet voice.
To be very blunt, Relationships God’s Way
does not encourage online relationships, or
relationships dependent upon telephone
communication, either calls or text
messaging. The reason for this is because,
a healthy relationship is based upon
observation before involvement as God
requires us to date a believer . Before you
get yourself involved, it is safest to view
your interest from a safe distance (i.e., no
more than a friendship attachment), so that
you may see if his or her character suits
yours. Because online dating does not allow
you to actually meet yourinterest, examine
this person in his or her natural habitat and
see how he or she interacts with other
people on a daily basis, it creates an
artificial environment. We all know how
sneaky people can be online – it can be
worse than a first date in the way they put
up present false information about
themselves in order to seem more attractive
than they are.
The other danger of online dating is that it
creates a level of intimacy(which isn’t
always sexual, by the way) that is deeper
than what would develop naturally in a
face-to-face relationship. This intimacy
occurs as a result of simply talking and
being vulnerable with each other. You are
much more likely to reveal personal
information about yourself to someone
through the computer or text messaging,
because when you aren’t face-to face, you
can’t feel the other person’s reaction, and
you feel safer.The problem is that in this
context you don’t fully realize that on the
other side of that computer screen is the
same person you would be talking face-to-
face with, and with whom in such a real
context you would never have shared that
information so soon. So you lay down this
information, make yourself vulnerable, and
in the end it can come back to bite you.
Conducting an online or over-the-phone
relationship puts you in
danger of being unable to know the person
you are involved with, it can cause you to
become more vulnerable with that person
than you should, and it skips the friendship
stage, leaping right into a level of intimacy
that is hard to get out of.
It's okay to create friendship but never go
for online dating. At least meet in person
several times and get to know each other
then take it to another level. Skipping the
assessment and friendship stage will most
probably lead to a disastrous marriage.

Awww just remembered when I was young how we were doing pen pals date then, just go to yahoo messenger rooms and chat up with random people all over the world, exchange addresses and within a few weeks starts receiving letters from them and we reply by sending letters via post office, and there you have it, the love starts flowing, when love was love not this friends with benefit being practised today. I need my good old days back biko, when we loved without fantasising about sex nor the extravagant demands of today's lovers.

OP online dating is real, possible but very risky. At first we ought to be sure the person at the other end is who they are and not a fake identity, then keep some personal details private until one is sure and confident that they are in safe hands. For a distance relationship to work communication, trust and understanding must be at it peak always, also the parties involve should endeavour to catch up with one another as often as time permits them to.

But conji should also be considered too jare

Online dating is completely safe. My brother met his girlfriend on bridge-of-love website. They've been together for half a year now, and they are really happy. I've used Tinder for dating. It worked really great for me too. But you have to keep in mind that there are a lot of different scam websites nowadays, and use only reliable and trusted ones. Be careful wink
