The annual outpouring of love (and cards and candy) that is Valentine’s Day is almost upon us. While it is the time of year for couples to show their affection for each other, it can also be a tough time for single folks looking for love. There’s nothing like a holiday squarely aimed at carrying out romantic gestures for your significant other to make those without one to feel a little down.
Way back before the internet was omnipresent, dating was an awkward and trying business. Like with most things in life, the internet is supposed to have made things so much easier, but of course that is not always the case. The explosion in online dating in recent years has made hooking up easier, but in terms of finding a long-term partner, it contains many pitfalls.
Digital dating, as it come to be known, can have its downside, not least the personal safety concern of going off to meet a complete strangers you’ve only communicated with over the internet.
So before you go off swiping right, consider these difficulties that online dating can throw up if you are seeking to settle down.
It’s a numbers game
Statistically, there are many more men on dating sites that women. This obviously stacks the deck in the female favor, making it more difficult for men to find that special someone. It also allows women to be more discerning, meaning men can’t afford the slightest indiscretion in their profile or when messaging an interested party.
Getting to know you
Many profiles are very generic and can suffer from being repetitive and uninspiring. Even if you do find you have a lot in common with someone, there’s no way you can test the chemistry by comparing profiles.
