In the last decade, the internet changed the way we live our lives. The way people connect with each other changed significantly. In the last few years we saw that most people started using social networks such as facebook and myspce to keep in touch with their friends and also to make new friends and meet new people. This after a while lead to more people finding new people to date through social networks. We found that people like the easy going and relaxed nature of social networks without the indirect dating pressure.
Some people even took this further and started to look for casual encounters on facebook. They basically made it to be facebook of sex and they are using facebook like a dating website to meet new people and dating partners. In the past people were mostly meeting new people in bars and clubs. Today, people mostly meet each other online. The Internet changed the way we live our lives forever. Free online dating sites popped everywhere. With the help of online dating sites, meeting new people became very easy. Free dating websites are a great way to meet new people. Research shows that loneliness is a growing epidemic in our society. Some scientists suggests that our dependence on non direct human interaction, such as social networks and text is actually a growing problem contributing to depression. But indeed, society has changed, non direct human interaction is replacing direct human interaction. Research suggests that people nowadays can even fall in love just by sending e-mails. If you told this to people 20 years ago, they would think you were mad. But in our society nowadays, this is considered to be normal.
Unfortunately modern society is also violent. There are risks associated to being outside of your home. When going out to clubs and bars sometimes one can be physically assaulted. But online dating is also not free from risks. People often develop a sense of comfort while developing online relationships with people whom they've never met. When meeting people you never meet there is always an element of risk. But meeting people in public places can correct that.

Some people really don't believe in online dating. They claim that there is no substitute to face-to-face interaction. This may be true, but after the online initial introduction a face-to-face meet can follow. Some people feel comfortable just hiding in the anonymity of their computer and never want to meet people face-to-face. There are many reasons for this, some are just flirting and testing the water to see if they can get something better than they have right now. Some women just like the attention, and they feel good to get attention from men.
In the online dating game there are just endless varieties and possibilities for people who are looking to explore their options, but it is also time-consuming, and people do invest the time communicating with other people on dating websites and social networks.
