Be aware of effect of online dating

Signing up to an online dating site is a great way to find love in the modern era, as it brings users closer to thousands of people they would otherwise never have known.

But there are also some points that must be considered and acted upon, as the method is not always a clear and easy route to success in the game of love.

Dennis Hong, writing a piece for the Frisky, has revealed some of the issues that are likely to crop up over time and can be beaten by those who retain a sense of reality.

For starters, he noted that many of the accounts people will come across on online dating sites will be inactive, as the user has long since found love and moved on.

Another factor is that dating sites are often unable to stop some of the more "sketchy" characters from society joining, so it is always wise to look out for them.
