How scary can online dating get?

In a word - terrifying.

Well, let's back up.

Online dating can be great. In fact its awesomeness explains why nearly 40 million people date online and 1 in 3 marriages now start from an initial online date.

It really is one of the best ways to meet and attract someone - while simply being yourself.

For example, if your dating profile description says you like spelunking, you're more likely to find a spelunking partner online (and find them more quickly), than trying to find that person face-to-face, one encounter at a time.
