4 Risk of online dating Finding love online is big business. Consider electronic privacy and other risks while looking for love online. Opposite person can be a fraud Sharing personal information online can cause danger in future

5 How to avoid online dating risk
1) Guard your personal safety. 2) Share photographs with caution. 3) Protect your private information.

6 Disadvantages of online dating
1) The number one problem with online dating is the ability to tell whether the person you are talking to is really who they say they are. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but they are not necessarily of the person you are speaking with. You may think you are speaking to a 25 year old gentleman with a gorgeous picture, when in fact he is a 45 year old, grey and balding man who uploaded a 20 year old picture of himself. 

7 2) It can be difficult to really get to know if you are attracted to a person over the computer. Our level of attraction is based on many qualities, some of which simply cannot be relayed through textual communication and still photos. Facial expressions, quirky behaviorisms, head-to-toe appearance, personal hygiene and many other factors may come into play. 3) Like the advantage of online dating that allows you to meet people you would not have met otherwise, this also works in reverse. Limiting yourself to online dating restricts your potential relationship to other individuals who are able to spend a good deal of time on the computer. More active, hard working people won’t often have this kind of time on their hands.

8 Conclusion The disadvantages of online dating certainly don’t outweigh the advantages, but there will always be drawbacks to any form of dating, online or otherwise. Perhaps the best advice would be to join and online dating service, be completely honest (to avoid “becoming” a disadvantage of online dating) when describing yourself, but do not limit yourself to online dating alone. Stay active in the community and continue to enjoy your usual activities. One way or another, if your perfect love is out there, it will find you.
