The pros and cons of online dating are given.
Online dating is a fast growing cultural facility(?) in recent times. With the advent of broadband in almost every house and with the increased facilities and usage of world wide web, many new things were discovered and are being discovered. One of these discoveries is online dating.

Earlier people haven't completely taken it seriously. Most people didn't really like the idea of dating without seeing or meeting the other person in real. But after a few 'sucess stories', it too became popular and many people are trying this thing extensively. There are special websites available for this type of dating. These websites proved to be great success. One just need to register on the sites and you can find a partner who has the qualities you need in your partner. At the same time, since your profile is made public, interested people contact you.

But like every thing else, online dating too has it's own share of advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages

* Online dating is a good way of sharing thoughts and feelings of each other in a more convenient way. Generally people can not completely speak what they are thinking while speaking in person. While speaking about certain topics, you get natural inhibitions. But while speaking online(as many talk through typing), it doesn't seem a problem to speak about the topics which you may feel that you can not speak otherwise.
* You don't need to worry about the distance as you don't need to travel through all the way. Even two people at opposite poles can date online.
* It may sound silly but you need not get prepared for the date. You may ask whether it is an advantage but think about the time you spent on selecting the dress and getting prepared for your last date.

Disadvantages

Online dating has it's share of disadvantages.

* The most common problem you can face is fake identity. Changing names is acceptable but people exchange fake photos and this leads to problems. There is an incident in which a guy liked a girl by seeing her photo(both are Muslims) and decided to marry. Since the guy is in another country doing his higher education, they decided to get married on phone(weird it may sound but it is acceptable in Islam). When the guy came to meet her after his studies, he literally fainted.
* Many people sound so good and vulnerable while speaking online but they may not be as good in real. Since people cannot see each other's face, it is easy to lie and this happens in online dating.
* There are many incidents in which (after making the person love them) people lie get money online from their partners.

Earlier the online dating was good but with passing time, new ideas are coming to people and about 90% datings online are based on lies and such cases don't last long. Soon, people may lose complete faith in online dating.

近来，网恋成为一种快速成长的文化现象，随着宽带的出现，以及网络设备的增加和使用，许多新事物层出不穷，网恋就是其中之一。 

人们原来并没有慎重对待网恋这种现象。大部分人不喜欢这种看不到对方的恋爱方式。但是，几个成功网恋事例使其开始流行，许多人开始尝试。网络上有专门的网站给网恋提供平台。这些网站也都很成功。你只需要在网站上登记注册，就可以找到理想的伴侣，同时，你的档案在网上公开后，对你感兴趣的人就会和你联系。但是，任何事物都有利与弊，网恋也不例外。利网恋使人们很方便的分享彼此的思想和感情，一般来说，在面对面交谈时，人们不能完全表达自己的想法，在谈到某些话题时， 人们自然地感到拘谨。但是，在网上谈论这些话题，并不成问题（许多人通过打字交谈）。不用担心距离，因为长途跋涉已没有必要，即使处在地球南北两极的人也可以在网上见面。不用花时间准备约会，这似乎听起来很愚蠢，但你确实不用花时间挑选衣服，和作其他的准备工作。

弊 网恋的劣势网恋中最常见的问题是，人们不仅用假名，并且交换假照片，这就导致了问题的出现。有这样一个事例，一个男孩看到一个女孩的照片就喜欢上了她（两人都是穆斯林），并且决定结婚。由于男孩在国外学习，他们决定通过电话结婚，（也许听起来不可思议 ，但是在伊斯兰教国家是可以接受的）。当男孩学成回国，看到她时，简直要晕倒了。网上聊天时，许多人听起来很善良，感情脆弱， 但是现实生活中，也许并非如此。因为彼此看不到多方的脸，撒谎就变得很容易。这在网恋中是会发生的。网恋中，有些人使对方爱上自己后，就开始撒谎，并且通过网络骗取对方的钱。

早期的网恋，本质是好的，但随着时间的推移，90%的网恋是建立在谎言的基础上的，不会维持的很久，不久的将来，网恋将完全被人们遗弃。
