Online Dating

Have you ever tried an online relationship? Have you ever tried speed-up match-making? Well, if you do, that means you are in the new stream of generation that carries very different perspective from your father’s generation. While my concern is, how genuine online relationship is?

Online relationship is very common in social networking websites. Examples of social websites are Facebook, Twitter, and Skype. In these social networking websites, identities are determined by the information that you choose to expose online. People tend to re-create an identity, though they currently do not really possess some of the characteristics of this new identity and would like to possess in the future, With all these information, people get to know more about each other and fall in love eventually with the intellectual communication which made easier.

In online environment, people tend to expose more of personal feelings and therefore there were more emotion intimacy between two parties. In some of the cases, people are just trying to explore themselves instead of getting into a long relationship. Besides, people are devoted to select only the favourable information or false characteristics about them to be posted online. The individual that we know may be a kind of imitation role play where personality is distorted. Thus, we must beware of the possible scams and cybercrimes because what you can see online may not be the truth.

In a nut shell, social networking websites are beneficial and convenience at most of the time. Still, we need to handle with cautious to prevent undesirable consequences.
