Pros and Cons of Romancing On Facebook

Social networking sites have become immensely popular for the use of dating online. Day by day the number of people signing up on social networking sites is increasing. Facebook, among others is one such site where you get to meet thousands of people and out of that many singles hunting out for their Mr. or Ms. Perfect. Since everything is virtual, you should be extra careful before taking any moves. Few positive and negative sides of online dating are highlighted below.
Pros:
• Millions of people from all over the world sign up on Facebook every day. The purpose of joining the network may vary from person to person. You get a chance to meet innumerable people and visit their profiles.
• The biggest advantage of dating through Facebook is that you are given an opportunity to choose person based on his/her profiles, it gives you a glimpse of how the person is, you come to know the likes and dislikes, ethnicity, interests, religious backgrounds, and so on before even meeting him/her in person. So in the end, you may even abstain from meeting with someone if you don't like the profile, while still remaining unknown.
• Facebook allows you to exchange your communication details, share videos, images and even thoughts. So by peeping on to the wall you may get to know what's going on in his/her daily life. Many people upload their pictures on Facebook so browse through countless number of faces, and eventually find the person you wish to meet.
• The number of women you can meet online is anytime higher against the actual number of women you could come across in parties or social gatherings. Few people feel shy in meeting a woman in person so for them a romantic encounter on the net could simply be the best thing. It doesn't require much effort, all you have to do is that send over a casual message and if you get the desirable response then you can plan things ahead.
Cons:
• Since, everything is on the World Wide Web, all your love and romance is virtual, you never know if the person you are talking to is genuine or a pervert. The person you are dating with may already be committed to someone else or may even be married and just doing time pass with you. Such two-timers can make your life a living hell.
• Since there is no signing up fee on Facebook, an individual can make any number of accounts just to mislead people. You may even come across people who sign up with obnoxious feelings to mislead someone. They may hack all your personal information and later blackmail you for one or the other thing. So, one should refrain from sharing residential phone number and other personal details as it could be unsafe especially in the earlier stages of getting acquainted.
• Another issue that sticks to the cons list is that the person you are dating online may be residing in some other state or continent. So the actual meet up may become impractical and not possible.
Online dating is not such a bad idea. But, just make sure that you date the right person.
