                                In the early years, couples would meet Face to face and a person normally knew up front whether or not he or she liked the other individual they were dating. I would think back then dating was more mutual and genuine as far as the connection you received from face to face relationships rather than staring into a blank screen for hours.

                However, in 1998 internet dating became more relevant and convenient to people. It was easier to stay in contact with one another and the time and place didn’t matter. All you had to do was login to a computer leave a text and wait for someone to reply, and there you had it instant conversations are created.

 People also found that online dating took away from pressure and anxiety. The fact that you could have a conversation with someone and not have to worry about exposing your identity or physically be there gained peoples approach to online dating. Eventually you would want to get to the point were you and the person your talking to could meet in person to actually see if you liked him/her.

That point of initial contact can be a deal breaker. people who use online dating normally build up higher levels of expectation for the person they're talking to online. most of the time people end up disappointed when they  meet the person face to face because of what they assumed they looked like or there personality isn't what they expected it to be. Most people who date online are open and free minded. online dating is very risk taking, because there is no real way of knowing who's on the other side of the screen.
