Online Teen dating services:
The Cons
With all the advantages that online teen dating services offer, there are moments when you wished you could have a face-to-face conversation with someone. Here are a few things you might not like at online dating teen services:
l Your prospective date may misrepresent himself/herself and make you believe he/she is somebody else
l There are many profiles that have expired, but the webmaster didn't remove them yet and you might think you have more choices than you actually have
l Some profiles are not real persons, they are just posted by companies or the website owner for other purposes
l Even though both boys and girls can send e-mails, the dating culture says boys have to make the first step. If you are a girl, you may get tons of e-mails you won't have time to reply to. If you're a boy, you may have your e-mails unanswered because your prospective dates are receiving to many messages.
l The matching profile search may bypass your true love just because he/she doesn't meet a minor characteristic you have set. For example, if you've set the minimum height for a matching profile at 5'9'', you will bypass someone who is perfect in every single way, but is 5'8'' high.
l Nothing can replace a face-to-face conversation
l You can't really tell if someone is serious or just a player looking for sex or expensive dates
These are only a few of the common things that you may like or not like at online teen dating services. However, it's up to you to make the pro-con list and decide if you want to sign up to a dating website or not.
