Sadly, that is a common theme build around ego like you said, online dating would be like watching a campfire via a YouTube video and then saying, "Oh, I went camping." In other words, you can meet people on the Internet but people should consider meeting each other in real life after that and date if they're serious, if they're interested in taking a risk at love. Online dating can be like navigating through a forest while blind because the world wide web has been lacking all of the five or six senses of sight, hearing, smelling, taste, touch, pain, feelings, and spiritual connection. Yeah, online dating can be like a cemetery with the possibility of becoming a zombie yourself. The Internet can sometimes be like a dream. I like to dream but I tend to prefer real life over sleeping and dreaming at night.
