is quickly becoming the worlds most popular matchmaker. with so many singles online, dozens of dating sites like yahoo personals and match. com are helping singles find that special someone. around the world, from america to china, love is now very much online. singles are flocking to the internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant partner. using dating sites is quick and convenient. they can “meet” a lot more people online than they could by hanging out at a club. besides , many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else. they also appreciate the first distance of online dating, which allows them to hide themselves until they are ready to meet someone face to face. dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in. in the real world, however, ignoring someone you dont like can be awkward. despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems. people arent always who they claim to be in their online profiles. for instance, someone who tells you he is “handsome, successful and single”might turn out to be homely, unemployed and married. safety is another concern. you are just as likely to find a criminal online as you are mr or miss right. even so, supporters of online dating see things in a positive way. in their opinion, singles can safely play the online dating game with a little common sense. online dating experts recommend following a few safety tips: guard your personal information. never give out your personal information online. this includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work. watch for red flags. do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? do they try to control you? do they give false information about themselves? if so, forget them! meet in a safe place. when meeting someone in person, choose a public
