Online dating vs. in person dating??

When I think of it, I think that online dating and meeting someone in person both are the same thing, except for the obvious. For example going into a club and getting someones numbers, etc. and talking to someone online are the same, except that online you don't talk to the person face to face.

In both cases, you don't really know who you're talking to. Like at a club, the person's number who you get could be a rapist, pedofile, ect. and same with online. So why is it that people completely disregard online dating??

[for face to face dating, I don't mean dating someone you already know....but meeting a complete stranger]

I hear bad stories about online dating. See people can hide behind their computers vs showing emotion in person. Also, for the first few dates you are dating their "representitive" it really isn't them if you can follow. So when they are behind a computer you don't see anything and it takes longer to find out that they suck

i've got in my view tried the two and found that there could be experts and cons to the two. I met my modern-day boyfriend of four months on line and that i got here upon that the web dating internet site helped to get to know him greater advantageous and choose in spite of if or no longer it become well worth pursuing in accordance with consumer-friendly hobbies and all. besides the shown fact that, there are drawbacks (ex. my modern-day boyfriend and that i've got have confidence subject concerns over the fact that he nonetheless has his dating profile up and all, so i assume there are issues that flow alongside with it). In genuine existence, that's regularly lots greater advantageous frequently to fulfill somebody and get to know them gradually with out understanding all those little information past to time yet you could meet people who are not well worth it sluggish in genuine existence too, so it incredibly comes down to your own decision in my view lol.
