Are you tired of looking for love all the usual places? Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are now going online instead. The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the world’s 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
Singles are flocking to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for the significant other. 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 don’t like can be embarrassing.
Despite all the advantages, online dating also present its own set of problems. People, aren’t always who they claim to be in the 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 opinions, 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 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 location with other people around. Follow these tips you might be able to find the person of your dreams.

Not many people talk to my son. It isn’t that they don’t want to. My son is two years old, and he’s 36 . I used to become 37 when strangers stared at us when we had conversations.
