Part 1: Five Admissions
Part 2: Two Websites
Part 3: Five Pros
And now on to part 4...
Five CONS
1. Low Quality- There's a lot of fish in the online sea...and most of them are still in there for a reason. One of the hardest parts of online dating is finding a good profile. 95% of profiles aren't worth a second glance. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
2. No Contact- They say a picture speaks a thousand words. Well, I think a meeting speaks a thousand online conversations. You may need to upgrade your internet plan in the time it takes to figure out what an hour in person would deliver with crystal clarity.
3. Long Distance- Let's say you get lucky and find a special someone. Now what? They live in Montana for goodness sake! Upgrading to phone calls will be too expensive. Long distance travelling is too big a commitment. Especially when the first meeting may very well reveal you've been talking to a 58 year old remote-control-car-enthusiast.
4. Nerdy Story- I believe that one of the key components to a great guy/girl relationship is the 'how they got together' story. You gotta have a good one. But 'we met online' might only be 1 step up from 'we met at a family party.'
5. End of the line- So you tried real life...and despite your awkward feelings, you went ahead and tried the online thing. But nothing happened. Now what? Back to real life? More online searching? You're running out of options. And chances are, you're getting uglier by the minute.

once they have your phone number and have been to your house, they're hard to shake!!!
I've never talked on the phone to an online friend. Come to think of it...I rarely talk on the phone to anyone.
I agree with Sarah, once the guy has your number and knews where you live and he's a dirt bag(just an example) you either pray he'll stop calling or change your number, or like i did moved away for school. yeah for me :) haha
