Why do people use Internet dating?

People go on websites where they can search for traits they want. You don't look for love and find it; it finds you when you least expect it. Love is supposed to be something that develops from friendship. Some people just use these sights so they can say, "I have a boyfriend/girlfriend" or "I have a date tonight" or whatever. That's totally shallow. Not to mention all the liars and creeps that use these websites. My cousin met his girlfriend on the Internet. She lives in another state. He said they loved each other before they even met. Now he's met her and they're still bf/gf. That's not love, that's lust. What's the world turning into these days? Nobody knows what love is anymore!

To me it is a great way to get to know the person first.. I have no problem with people dating from online. I have dated guys from online. Sometimes it works out sometimes it does not. All matter of opinion I guess.
Reply:Im not entirely sure why other people use them, but I will tell why I used to use them. It's aminly due to the fact that people are hard to meet nowadays. Either everyone is too busy or too concealed. Using a dating site is a great way to allow those people willing and searching for companion ship without the hastle of actually looking in the real world. And although it may appear shallow, being able to know who you are meeting before you actually meet is a lot better than going in blindfolded and hoping that they are what you want. I have had one online relationship and it ended badly, not horribly, but badly. So you see, these things aren't as perfect as one might think. Of course i still had feelings for her, and still do, but just like the real world, you never know.
