Advantages

• Personal profiles available on the dating sites are of utmost importance. One must closely analyze people’s profiles so as to get much as knowledge about their life-history, behavioral traits & their personal interests. One will get a deep & thorough knowledge about the likes & dislikes of the person. While filling up your profile, you must be true to yourself because it will be a mirror of your personality.
• Nearly all dating sites provide the option of uploading photos. Eyes are windows of the soul, & being able to pair a face with the words in the profile definitely helps you to have a clear image of the person you are writing to. A nice photo helps in getting better responses.
• Initial anonymity of the internet helps shy people. People who are not good at socializing & feel awkward to start the conversation can use the online dating service to find friends, &/or soul-mate. Geeks who do not get mixed up easily can use these sites authoritatively as they don’t need to interact with the other person, face to face.
• Not all the persons on this Earth are born with good looks. If you don’t get much attention in social circuits then you may feel low for not getting the right kind of company. But the online dating sites have solved this problem to a greater extent. One may get interested in your profile & there-after will get in touch through emails & thus you may end up finding that one who is interested in you only & not your looks.
• You can meet & interact with the people you could not otherwise meet because your social or business circles, do not intersect. You can meet people living in far away countries but have same life-interests & same mental level.

 Disadvantages

• Not everyone on the site is looking to meet someone special & thus there are a lot of chances of people mis-representing themselves. Many people hide the correct information & do not give straight answers about their sexual orientation, marital status, etc. So one must check the profile of the person he/she is interested thoroughly.
• You can fall victim to Internet flirting, if you are not conscious. Always let your sub-altern speak & do listen to it as you are bound to get a valuable suggestion from your inner voice. Internet flirting is addictive. It’s just a cool & easy way to pass your time. But actually you may be playing with your or someone else’s emotions, so better keep yourself crystal clear.
• Until & unless you go beyond the email stage, online dating is of little use. As the researches point that one is impressed by a person’s appearance, body language, facial expressions & tone of the voice are the real primal elements of attraction, which can not be seen in a full view unless you arrange a live-date.
• Online dating is a limited concept as you can only meet the folks who spend time on the internet. This excludes a whole raft of people who may be of your liking. Thus your choice gets a little bit narrow.

By considering all these advantages & disadvantages pertaining to online dating, you may be able to get the best out of this wonderful phenomenon called “Online Dating”. You can use it accordingly to get on the top of the world, as you may be lucky enough to meet the love of your life online.
