I love giving advice to others about dating and offing insight into the cons of online dating. Pick up any book on relationships and you can bet it will have a section on online dating, whether it was written by Dr. Phil or the neighbour next door. This chapter on online dating is usually included to give people another avenue to pursue if they're failing to get a date the old fashioned way. If these so-called relationship guru's had actually tried to find Mr. Right online, they would have realized what a bad idea it was and never suggested it in the first place.

Ask Polly: ‘I Hate Dating Apps So Much!’
Dear Polly,. There is one area, however, where I think you may have a blind spot, and that is the absolutely terrible plight of trying to find love on dating apps. I am 35 years old, and I have been on and off dating websites or apps for almost a decade. In fact, my longest relationship in that time was just shy of a year.
After having a BF send me a good bye email on my birthday, I am once again facing the prospect of yet another year alone. This time last year, the BF in question had wormed his way back into my life, promising all manner of things that he clearly neither had no intention to fulfill nor certainly the wherewithal to accomplish. To wit, while I was in Africa he moved to Phoenix for a work contract, promptly met someone and informed me on the very anniversary that he had made those original promises.
Online dating is dumb. I have spent some time perusing online dating sites, and once, I set up a mock profile. Rebecca Black is even less moronic than online dating. Unless you are. Are you a leper?
