I decided to take a break from online dating.

AnneWimsey comments on Jun 27, 2019:

Internet dating does a couple of things quite well...increases the pool of people you can connect with, allows you to correspond with a lot of anonymity for as long as you need, allows you to do this from your home, in your underwear or whatever...it also allows you to ask questions, lots of questions, before you invest any real time/effort. It does a couple of things very poorly: you need to exercise A Lot of caution, as none of the people you meet have any "connection" to anyone you already know (no one vouches for them) and there are a lot of predators out there. The initial meeting, should there be one, is a lot more stressful than just striking up a conversation in a check-out line, for example. You can meet & connect with people that are too far geographically to make any sense...for example, I am in eastern USA, I would not correspond romantically with someone in New Zealand...maybe if I was 30, but I am soon to be 71.
