Online dating perhaps is the latest fad to hit the world, but conventional dating will always prove to be the best in show, Online dating presents several challenges when looking for potential partner, for example: what does he look like, does he really look like what he says he does and, above all, will he like the way I look. While conventional dating usually requires you to have met/pursued 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 involves many different ways to find a "match" than online dating. When dating online, finding a suitable partner usually involves clicking the checkboxes next to the attributes that match you as a person, and a computer program will scan the list of users trying to find someone who checked the same attributes you you have selected on your profile. Conventional dating usually implies that you have met the person, have the same ideas/activities and have a good but general picture of who the person is leaving surprises, unlike online dating which might make you think you are hooking up with a top model but you're ending up with a Martha Stewart lookalike. Another area that puts conventional dating first is that sometimes opposites really do attract. In conventional dating you may not have the same attitudes about common things like religion, books, technology or wanting to be a secret nudist, as long as you have the same personality you will generally have a successful match (“howstuffworks.com”). Online dating falls into an abyss because the computer algorithm will generally match people with the same qualities with little deviation. Which gen...... middle of paper ...... make an appointment and meet up, if the person who introduces themselves is different from the photo you might give them a chance but as soon as they start talking about themselves you might notice how much they are different from their profile and it is likely that you will decide to leave in the middle of the date, go through the list and find another person who you think might be a better "match". Conventional dating generally has you already getting to know and pursue the person, and you'll generally discover a little lie here and there, but you'll already have an idea of ​​who they are, so there won't be anything shocking that you didn't already know, unlike online data where they might be totally different from their profile. To conclude, conventional dating has been around since the caveman era and is likely to beat this temporary fad of online dating.
