A Persuasive Thesis on Online Dating: Better or Worse than Traditional Dating Methods? Is online dating safe? While online dating may or may not be the safe way to meet someone, is it the best way to find your soulmate? There are a number of pros and cons to online dating. Online dating is the practice of seeking a romantic or sexual partner over the Internet, typically via a dedicated website. Online dating allows you to search for potential partners and helps you find the person you are most interested in. Online dating sites can help you protect your personal information and ensure your safety, at least while using their site. Once you meet a potential partner in person, they will obviously no longer be able to help you. According to Henry Cloud, “Dating is about finding out who you are and who others are. If you show up in a ball gown, neither of those things will happen.” (HENRY CLOUD, How to Get a Date Worth Keeping) Some people think that online dating is not a positive experience because they want to have face-to-face contact. Some daters want to see potential partners in person to make sure they aren't lying about themselves... Online dating can seem lazy and not the best way to find out if there is physical attraction with another person. It is also important to know people's backgrounds and only some websites will allow you to do this. Some people may not post photos and you want to see them and when you see them in person it's not really them. Now that's when I think it goes wrong. There are a lot of bad people out here who kill and why do people always think it's okay to lie and then when you meet the truth comes out. Even though online dating exists, it doesn't mean you have to use it. But to do......middle of paper......or good. What was online dating all about? What is online dating? What can online dating do?
