Online Dating

Many dating agencies will now offer online dating. Online dating is where you have access to the dating agency online.

What can online dating offer me?

Before the internet became an everyday tool, dating agencies would usually communicate with their applicants via the postal system. This would mean that there would be delays in informing applicants of suitable introductions etc. due to having to print out letters and post them.

Online dating agencies can now email you details directly to your email in box meaning that the information they send will be much more current than before.

Your online dating agency will probably give you access to their database online via their web site. Depening on the individual dating agency you will be able to enter search criteria into their web site (age, height, weight, looks, interests etc.) and you will very quickly be given a list of possible matches. You will probably be able to leave an email message for anyone that takes your fancy too!

What are the disavantages of online dating?

Unlike traditional dating agencies that would meet each applicant, online dating agencies probably only know information about the applicants that the applicants themselves have given to the agency in the form of an online profile or a completed application form.

This means that the online dating agency probably won't be able to verify that any of the information provided by applicants is actually correct.

So if you are searching for a suitable partner using an online dating agency beware!
That woman who describes herself as a 32 year old doctor living in a penthouse apartment could well be a 39 year old shop assistant still living with her parents! (Not that there's anything wrong with being 39... or being a shop assistant... or living with your parents for that matter!)
