Merit and Demerit of Online Dating

As high- technology has been growing rapidly, we can buy and find anything we want from the networking, and online dating is one of the most popular sites in the world. However, I have never thought of using it, and I am sure that I will not be able to count on online to find my important partner because it sounds too dangerous. In my family, my husband’s younger brother used online dating once, and he told us about his story. After my husband’s parents passed away, my brother in law moved and take care of their property a couple years ago. His house which was located in the countryside in North Florida was very far from everything. It took for 20 minutes driving for the grocery shopping, so he was bored of the country life. Unfortunately, he started using online dating, but he said that was a big mistake. He met one lady who lost her partner, and he felt sorry for that woman. They had chatted some times through online, and he was interested in meeting her, so he invited her to his house. To his surprise, she loved drinking alcohol from the morning, and she was a vicious drinker. At first, he enjoyed drinking beer with her, but she did not do anything. He wanted to take her to some shopping mall or drive, but she did not move at all. When she left his house, all his alcohol disappeared, and there were plenty of empty bottles. Moreover, she visited him twice, and she brought her daughter that time. They had an alcohol party from the morning, but he was uncomfortable with them. Finally, he could say good-bye to her, and he learned a lot. He did not get involved any criminals, but many people would be victims. Some people enjoy a short time or fake romance on purpose through online dating cause of escaping from their real life. Other people want to find the real love so that they do not feel solitude. Overall, online dating has some merits and demerits, so we have to be careful and clever to use online dating.
