Online Dating versus Conventional Dating

Online dating maybe the latest fad that hit the world, but conventional dating will always come out to be the best in show, Online dating has several different challenges when looking for a potential partner, for example: how does he look like, does he really look like what he says he does and the major one will he/she like how I look. While conventional dating usually requires you to have met/stalked the male or female in question, and generally unless it’s a blind date conventional dating usually involves some type of spark between the two people.

Conventional dating usually involves you having met the person and having the same ideas/activities and having a good but general picture of who the person is leaving no surprises, unlike online dating that might have you thinking that your hooking up with a supermodel but you ending up with a Martha Stewart look-alike.

To wrap this up, conventional dating has been around since the cavemen era and chances are it will beat this temporary online dating fad.
