How Did Online Dating Become So Popular?
The reason is pretty simple. It is very much the same reason that the internet itself became so popular. The Internet opens up a whole new world of communication and contact. And the reasons for this are given below.
Speed
Try to picture what used to happen earlier in the days when people had to depend on the good ol’ postal system. During those days, a person had to wait for one or two days for a letter to get across to a person who lived in the same state itself. The second person in turn would take one or two days to respond and this letter would take on or two days to get back to the first person.
So in effect, a single correspondence would stretch over a week. But now it’s a totally different story. The time taken for the first letter and the response has been brought to an amazing 2 minutes! Waiting may make the heart grow fonder but e-mail makes two people get close faster!
Privacy
The Internet provides for absolute privacy too. One can carry out communication with another person in the absolute privacy of one’s bedroom or bath room or wherever one chooses to be. There is no fear of eavesdropping (ugh) or over hearing (shudder!) thanks to e-mail and chat facilities.
Options and Opportunities
The Internet provides for other options like voice chat or video conferencing and stops short only of the physical touch. But then who would want to start a relationship by touching right away? You can see a person, talk to a person, and listen to the person’s voice, can you think of a better way to start a date?
Economy All this and more is possible thanks to the internet and the best part is that all this comes to you for peanuts. All you need is a P.C (who doesn’t have one?) and an Internet Connection (how can anybody live without one) and you are all set. The only thing more you could ask for is a step by step guide to find your dream date…well here it is!

Online Dating Experience
First, I would like to post few criteria that we should look into before we join any dating site.
How to find a good dating site.
1. First, consider how the site looks. If it is poorly designed by using unappealing graphics or jagged fonts and misaligned divisions, this indicates a lack of attention to detail in the construction and layout of the site, and could mean that the rest of the place's management is in a similar state of chaos and disarray. If the webmaster can not finesse the aesthetic aspects of the spot, it's logical to assume that they have done a likely poor job with other significant aspects – similar security. It's feasible that the area could be easily hacked, and your personal information, including your photo and contact information, are not secure. And if you've paid for membership to the place using a credit or debit card, your credit information could be at risk. Choose Internet dating sites that are professionally constructed.
2. Look at some sample profiles on the page before you signup by running a quick seek. Do the profiles look a little bogus? A lot of them are. Many sites (especially new ones that have just started) pad his or her membership database by using photos of models or random (generally good-looking people) to draw new members. Do the profiles have a lot of jibberish characters or nonsensical phrases in the descriptions? That means the dating site you're at doesn't screen the people who signup. This welcomes people with ill-intent. You should get out of there immediately and go to one that does.
3. Try to determine if the site has a privacy link. You can find the privacy link at the bottom of a site’s main page. If they've one, click on it and check to make sure they don't sell members' info to anyone – you do not want to be bombarded with spam e-mails and junk mail. Also look for the dating site's Terms of Service page for the dating site's rules – check to see if they screen their profiles to disallow racist language or overly sexual material. If don’t state this, then it implies anything goes within this dating site, which is a good reason to not signup.
4. Does the site have a links page? If so click and examine. See who they are affiliated with. Usually, there will be graphical banners or icons next to the names of their associations. Are they sex-sites? Spam sites? Even a quick glance in this area could tell you what kind of a dating site you are at.
5. Try to search for the copyright date, usually located at the bottom of the first page. This will give you the age of the site.
6. Be wary of statements like "You are the 4697th member to join today." and "Search through millions of profiles." these statements are usually false. Major sites, which have been running for YEARS usually can support these statements. look for a "whos online" link. If you are the only person (1 guest online means JUST you are there) then you know these claims are false. A site with millions or even thousands of members will always have a bunch of people currently online. If you detect this in a dating site, it is better to leave than to take a chance with a dishonest site.
These ideas all are taken from somewhere on the internet. I can't remember, I wrote them down when I encountered them. My intention of stating them here is to help all of us to be aware of bogus dating site.
Please don't forget to put your comment and experiences about online dating.
Thank you.
