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.

近來，網(wǎng)戀成為一種快速成長的文化現(xiàn)象，隨著寬帶的出現(xiàn)，以及網(wǎng)絡設備的增加和使用，許多新事物層出不窮，網(wǎng)戀就是其中之一。 

人們原來并沒有慎重對待網(wǎng)戀這種現(xiàn)象。大部分人不喜歡這種看不到對方的戀愛方式。但是，幾個成功網(wǎng)戀事例使其開始流行，許多人開始嘗試。網(wǎng)絡上有專門的網(wǎng)站給網(wǎng)戀提供平臺。這些網(wǎng)站也都很成功。你只需要在網(wǎng)站上登記注冊，就可以找到理想的伴侶，同時，你的檔案在網(wǎng)上公開后，對你感興趣的人就會和你聯(lián)系。但是，任何事物都有利與弊，網(wǎng)戀也不例外。利網(wǎng)戀使人們很方便的分享彼此的思想和感情，一般來說，在面對面交談時，人們不能完全表達自己的想法，在談到某些話題時， 人們自然地感到拘謹。但是，在網(wǎng)上談論這些話題，并不成問題（許多人通過打字交談）。不用擔心距離，因為長途跋涉已沒有必要，即使處在地球南北兩極的人也可以在網(wǎng)上見面。不用花時間準備約會，這似乎聽起來很愚蠢，但你確實不用花時間挑選衣服，和作其他的準備工作。

弊 網(wǎng)戀的劣勢網(wǎng)戀中最常見的問題是，人們不僅用假名，并且交換假照片，這就導致了問題的出現(xiàn)。有這樣一個事例，一個男孩看到一個女孩的照片就喜歡上了她（兩人都是穆斯林），并且決定結婚。由于男孩在國外學習，他們決定通過電話結婚，（也許聽起來不可思議 ，但是在伊斯蘭教國家是可以接受的）。當男孩學成回國，看到她時，簡直要暈倒了。網(wǎng)上聊天時，許多人聽起來很善良，感情脆弱， 但是現(xiàn)實生活中，也許并非如此。因為彼此看不到多方的臉，撒謊就變得很容易。這在網(wǎng)戀中是會發(fā)生的。網(wǎng)戀中，有些人使對方愛上自己后，就開始撒謊，并且通過網(wǎng)絡騙取對方的錢。

早期的網(wǎng)戀，本質是好的，但隨著時間的推移，90%的網(wǎng)戀是建立在謊言的基礎上的，不會維持的很久，不久的將來，網(wǎng)戀將完全被人們遺棄。
