Online Dating is Disappointing?

»Online Dating is Disappointing?

Surprise! Someone had to waste a lot of time and money to find out that most people are disappointed with online dating. No sh*t! The problem is that some people take this crap too seriously. Don't get me wrong, there are some people who find meaningful relationships this way. But, initially, no one should expect to create a strong relationship with someone they've never met. Sometimes it works; Sometimes it doesn't. I see no need to over-analyze relationships. Especially the online type....

"A new study of romantic relationships finds that as online daters got to know another person over time, their initially sweet notions turned sour. The researchers suggest that inflated expectations can lead to major disappointments when daters meet in person. Once a flaw is spotted, the whole date is tainted."

My dad is married to a woman he met on match.com

It worked out great for him.

Its not who a person is in the inside, but what he does that defines him.

I know that it definitely works out sometimes. I just think that people shouldn't see it as the "end all be all" answer to their problem. That's what sets them up for disappointment.
