Many people have misconceptions about the concept of online dating; I have heard many people get advice from friends to stay away.  People who tell others to avoid online dating are generally people who do not understand it themselves, and have probably never tried it themselves either.  This trend can also be seen if you start to look through some of the online dating profiles where you see comments like, “I never thought I would be doing this.”, or “apparently it has come to this me making a profile online.”, like it’s some sort of last death march for their dating life.
